Passion - the secret to a joyful life worth living

Hats off to this new year and the worthy pursuit of our most personal, passionate pursuits.... (if we so choose of course;)).

Some inspirational quotes:

* Often people attempt to live their lives backwards. They try to acquire more things, more money, in order to do more of what they want, so they will be happier. The way it actually works is the reverse. We must first be who we really are, then do what we need to do, in order to have what we want.

* The heart to human excellence often begins to beat when we discover a pursuit that absorbs us, frees us, challenges us, and gives us a sense of meaning, joy and passion.

* Our work is to discover our work and then, with all our hearts, give ourselves to it.

* A writer writes. If one wants to be a writer, one must write. This concept can be universally applied.

* Everything worthwhile in life is work. But if it puts a smile on our face, it doesn't feel like work.

* Hard work becomes easy when our work becomes our play. Never underestimate the value of loving what you do (The 4-Hour Workweek).

(compliments of Angel Chernoff)

If we feel good and we're truly happy, does anything else really matter... Hugs.

Blessings,

  1. Tim Ferriss is one of my role models that has continuously challenged me to think differently. I read 'The 4-Hour Workweek' years ago, and it had a big impact on my life. It reinforced the idea that 'there is another way to live life', and it helped to give me the confidence to follow my own path :)
