Finally weekend. Any plans?
Friends often tell me that they are not really sure what to do on weekends, aside from sleeping in or going to the movies; “There is not much else to do”.
I’m under the impression that many people don’t really know what they are passionate about, what would really fill their lives, and what could energize them.
In the book “Wishcraft” by Barbara Sher, I read her recommendation to think back at childhood. What was it that could energize you as 5 year old, what did you love to do, how did you spend your time back then? Chances are high that what you loved to do as a child could still hold some ‘passion potential’ today.
For me, this is true. As little girl, I loved to draw and paint, and creating things. Today, I still love creative work, from photography, designing my garden to cooking.
This is true for me too. It’s a good think to look back at childhood: a source of inspiration wich brings vitality and creativity. Moreover, somehow, we feel fearless because, children are certainly more sponteneous than adults!
And I believe that children follow their instincts and just do what promises the most pleasure. As adults, we have often lost the connection with our inner self.
As a kid I always wanted to try Skydiving. Very recently, I finally made it happen and went to an indoor wind tunnel with my family. It was a lot fun and a great experience! Now I’d like to do the real one, jumping off a plane! Yah! I agree, make plans and turn your dreams into reality.
Congratulations, Jim! You are on your way to fulfill your dream. I can sense that you feel great about it.
I find the weekend too short especially in summer rime. Beside gardening which I love. I do a lot walking along the river together with my friend or climbing the nearby hills.
For a long time I had a passion for windsurfing and rafting, later I loved gardening. Today I have a psssion for phtography, its less demanding. Although I still love gardening and I spend a lot of time in the garden.
Visiting art galleries and exhibitions is another passion.
