Whether it's the love of your life or simply a casual hobby, one of life's greatest frustrations comes with the realization that there is simply not enough time to spend indulging in something or someone that you love. . . That is of course, if you are in the box along with the millions of Americans who choose to work in an industry that is different from the area of life that you love most. Practical example: I enjoy practicing law. Interpreting a seemingly unambiguous statute to mean completely different things based on the interests of my client... that is a fun little intellectual challenge. But I love art... I mean, I really really love learning about new techniques and I love finding myself lost in a new art gallery or even just floating down the aisles of Home Goods and looking at the trendy and trite commercial paintings. My favorite lazy Sunday afternoons are spent in a room flooded with natural light, painting whatever whimsy my heart desires.
I also love Spanish, and home decorating, and cooking, and tea parties, and spending time with my honey... How will I ever know about all of the other fantastic things in life that I would enjoy if I spend the rest of my life stuck in an office interpreting statutes?
See the frustration?
So, the possible solutions to this little dilemma require guts and ambition, and super spunk. But the possibilities that could result are endless... Think
Jordan
Martha Stewart
...the people on Dancing with the Stars.
When you are bold enough to ignore the temptation to make quick money doing something standard and determine that you'd rather do what you love for the rest of your life, well... you may end up broke. BUT you may end up filthy rich and super happy...
