I keep hearing about "being" instead of "doing". I've spent my whole life trying to stay busy. I think I've done this because when I stopped doing, I realized how my life was unsatisfying. I remember as a child wanting to make a difference in the world, wanting to join the Peace Corp, help animals, the underprivileged.
Today I'm starting to learn how to be quiet, still, to listen to my inner wisdom. Instead of seeking the answers outside of me, I'm beginning to trust that if I take the time to go inside I will find the right answer.
By moving towards those things that get me excited, energized, feeling good, I am becoming more pleased with the life I'm creating. I'm not just letting life happen anymore. I'm intentionally making the life I want, step by step.
Even if some of the things I do don't end up being "successful", everything I do is a learning experience, therefore beneficial. I'm finding what works and what doesn't. I'm gaining energy and strength along the way.
Make a list of things you love. You might have to think back a long ways to come up with this, but it will come. See how you can integrate these things in your life today. It might be as simple as taking that cooking class you always wanted to take, or dance class. Or maybe taking the Master Gardner program. Or volunteering for a cause you care about.
You don't necessarily have to make doing what you love a career to have a passion filled life, but you can! It's never to late be become involved with your own life! No more excuses!
Peace!
