Reading Maria Shriver's book Ten Things I Wish I'd Known--Before I Went Out into the Real World. She reminds us that we need to identify what stirs the creative juices and persistently pursue what we love to do. Maybe that goes against the grain. Maybe your closest and dearest friends will mock you or question the wisdom of your choice. As long as your passion is legal, moral and ethical, as Maria says, "trust your gut."
Making a difference in this world is seldom, if ever, accomplished by, to coin a phrase, the "flow-goer." Moving against the tide of popular opinion or blazing a new trail is difficult, but most often extremely rewarding.
Theodore Roosevelt nailed it when he said, "Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs even though checkered by failure, than to rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy nor suffer much because they live in the gray twilight that knows neither victory nor defeat."
What's your passion? What truly motivates you? What gives you greater pleasure and satisfaction than anything else you have ever done?
Go for it, my friend! Pursue your passion! Then, share your results with us! Let us celebrate your success!
Always make a difference!!
