Reset Button for Your Life

Today I want to talk about passion. It's not something you hear a whole lot about, but from those that you do hear it front, it's typically powerful and moving. Whether you are a veteran in your career or at the beginning of it, there's something to be said for that that infuse passion into every aspect of their life. I was recently inspired by several things that have occurred in my life, but it all climaxed at the viewing of this presentation by Gary Vaynerchuk of Wine Library TV fame.




The Beginning of Something New

Having taken that video in, a lot has happened to me within the last two weeks which has led to this post. Today I turn 30, a new decade of life for me, but still just a number. Today is significant for many reasons, but I want to share my passion with you in the hopes that the inspiration will lead to greater personal development, and an open future of opportunity.

I have become a victim of the downward spiral that is the economy, but I look to this event as an opportunity for growth and new direction not just for my career but own personal development. Sure fear was the initial emotion that overcame me, but in light of everything that I have done in my spare time, there is an opportunity to truly share and inspire others with what I love.

I have always been an independent thinker, a free spirit to so speak, and remember being repeatedly called a daydreamer. Somewhere between those comments and my life up to this point I lost the ability to daydream and looked to conform to what society expects from a 9 to 5'er in the rat face.

What do I love?

I love communicating with people, I love sharing my love for technology and advancing individuals and businesses using all the right tools at my disposal. My ability for creative work, analysis, project development, and hands on training create a marketable brand that I can develop and promote. It is also key that my network also respects my expertise and looks to collaborate on different projects. This credibility all came with time and patience, but something I can rely on now that I'm an independent contractor.


Why Passion?

Have you ever tried to do something you hate? You try to force square pegs in circular slots, it becomes frustrating if not near impossible to make happen. Now think of how others will perceive these attempts. You gotta love what you do, you gotta find ways to take what you love and monetize it, make it happen, make it a reality, and build brand interest for any project you start.

Having the passion inspires others to get behind what you do. Believing in the people you communicate with daily and building that community is what will diversify your experiences.

My wish is for everyone to stop and think about what they are doing in life at this very moment. Does it make you happy? If not, then why are you doing it? Like Gary says, life is too short, we get one try at this.

I'm not advocating for everyone to just leave their jobs, but during those in between moments, find ways to build that future for yourself, so when the time comes you can break free and start doing what you were meant to be doing.

I love all the readers and here's to hoping you find that passion that will drive you to success!

CHEERS!
