What is True Passion?
So tonight I had someone very special come over for the evening. . .I consider him my brother(in-law)...ha (long story).
Anyway, this guy is 21 and his head is in places where most adults spend years and years trying to get to and try to think this way. It's such amazing thinking and living that you are guaranteed success. And I know this guy is going to climb the mountains he wants, no matter how high. He'll succeed.
So it got me to thinking about my life, which I've been doing lately anyway...and everyone who knows me knows that I think far too much!! I haven't been feeling challenged in a really long time and need to do something to stimulate my brain that doesn't involve KIDS. I am so bored. And I want to climb mountains and succeed. I want to be able to give my kids the best possible life. But how?
The question is what do I want to do and how? What's my true passion (other than my kids)??? Isn't that what most people wonder?
I know I want health and happiness for my children, first and foremost. Then I want security for them. Security does not always equal money but it sure does control a lot of it. I mean, no matter what is going on, if money holds you back, then it can cause stress, end of story. I want to feel fulfilled and content. I feel like I have everything (an amazing husband and our girls, and special family and friends) except for true financial success. Sure, we have a lot that others don't, but I want more for my kids.
So, what do I do? Do I go back to a boring law firm just because it's good money? Do I get a new boring office job, which I will enjoy because I love to socialize but even that will get old fast.
I could write a book? I've thought about it but I am not sure how I would begin? I guess that'd be the hardest part of writing one; to be able to actually start it. Is that right ? - Yes, I'm asking you two Ron & Karen F.? Is that the hardest part.?
I really do enjoy writing. I don't really think I write all that special, but I do it because I like it. I know I think too much so it comes out of my head and then I start fresh again tomorrow. Maybe that's how I survive on 4 hours sleep every night...this whole writing thing. I should moderate it to see if I do have better quality sleep.
I think writing a book would be amazing. Sometimes I think about writing a book that has to do with kids. I have spent the past 5 years reading day in and day out about KIDS. I also think about writing a book about life. Mine sure has been a uphill adventure. I'm just waiting for the Pot of Gold. And that's the problem - I can't be waiting for it, I gotta get out there and get it!
And then I feel like I want something totally different - I love to organize, I love people...geez, you think I narrowed it down at all?
Hey, I could call my book "Potatoes"!!! :-)
Any ideas?
