Thinking Out Loud

Pursue Your Passion! This is something we hear all the time and I'm not gonna lie, it jazzes my soul. But what if you don't know exactly what your passion is? How can you pursue something you are unsure of? Plus, is it really reasonable to quit your day job and try to find your passion so you can pursue it? The only thing I do know for sure is that I love whatever I'm doing until I don't. And that changes on a dime. Seriously, the only thing consistent in my life is change. I can do something for a while and I totally love it, until I don't. I seem to bore of just one thing quickly. I think it's because what I really enjoy is the challenge of something new. I love the rush of figuring out systems, optimizing processes, troubleshooting, organizing content and people, and the rush of getting and things up and running. I like to compare it to the thrill of falling in love vs. being in love. The energy and excitement that comes with a new relationship are what inv...

Here's a cool quote for the day: I'd rather live a life of "oh wells" than "what ifs." I've been thinking a lot about how you only have one life to live.

I'm starting to learn what I do and don't like. I'm learning what brings me joy and fulfillment and what I can do without. I've known for awhile now that I'm an introverted extrovert or an extroverted introvert. Basically, when I...

It seems like everyone these days is talking about finding their purpose or wondering if they are living their purpose? I have often wondered the same thing. And I still wonder because I feel like I have some great thing I'm here to accomplish and honestly, I'm still not sure exactly what that one great thing is. In fact, the longer I live the more I realize it's not just one great thing, but many things.

In fact, nothing brings me greater peace, happiness, fulfillment, and joy than giving my self away in the service of others.
