What is it that you could do to move the needle a little bit to be closer to your goal. What are you going to lose if you do something extra outside of your work hours, out side of your family time, out side of your friends time, when you are not sleeping, when you are not eating, when you are not social networking, when you are not watching TV.
Can we spend a little bit of time daily on something that we love, keep watering our dream and keep moving inch by inch. It could be just for 5 minutes or even a minute, but commit some time on something you are passionate about. It is this consistency that keeps growing and picks up momentum. Once you got the momentum, there is no stopping. That 1 minute grows to 5 minutes and then to 15 minutes, and then to 45 minutes and then to 90 minutes and it keeps growing. Some day you would realize how you gradually focused on your major activities of the life and decreased the amount of time you spent of the trivial and unworthy daily tasks you were doing in the past. The more we work on our values, it is natural that rest of the irrelevant things do not bother you.
So first try to start and take action, try to take that first small step, it need not be planned , in fact you can take a deep breath in this moment and do something about what you love to do. Even a minor thought could take you a step closer.
Why not try. If you don’t try there is not going to be any difference in your life. If you try and if you cannot keep up with the pace then you can either stop or take a different approach. What is the worst thing that could happen if you try. As someone said “Anything that does not kill you makes you stronger” So the worst thing that could happen is that you lost some time if you finally decide to give up. But it is worth trying. Do not procrastinate. Do not wait for the right moment. Nothing worst is going to happen when you start working on on yourself and on something that you love.
Just keep in mind that it is not everything about you and your pleasure. At some point it should also mean something to others. In this case your passion can be monetized when it directly or indirectly contributes to the well being of others, when others are experiencing some benefits because of your work.
The immense happiness and gratification when others grow along with you is something that needs to be only experienced.
