For years I have been searching for 'my passion'. I've looked in so many places. I've done so many tests. Family encourages me to find it or to keep looking, but admittedly I'm getting a little tired of The Search.
In a recent Success Magazine interview, I listened to the speaker talk about how successful people don't have good golf or bowling scores because they spent their time focusing on their success. And as I thought about this, coupled with the idea of downsizing, I debated giving away all my craft supplies. That would clear out a lot of room, plus I'd have more time to focus on "ME".
But as I was crocheting this afternoon, I was pondering my future and I thought - what if my crafts lead me to my passion? What if this is what I am supposed to do? What if I keep doing my crafts and one day I develop the one thing that makes my heart sing and I become famous (and prosperous) for it?
Some life coaches tell you to "do something, anything, just pick and do!" In the absence of a better idea, do I remain doing my crafts? Maybe if I turn off the TV or stop listening to my iPod and continue to think about my life while crafting, I'll come up with the idea.
I'm curious - how do you know what to do?

I think that the reward is to just "be". Don't give away your craft supplies. It is who you are. Your heart soars while you are creating and that's the point, I think. We don't all need to be famous or rich (although not being poor or having to suffer would be nice). Isn't there a saying something like "its not what you do that people remember, its how you make them feel". If you feel good inside, then that's gonna shine through. And because you nurture that creative side, who knows, maybe one day you WILL become famous. That will be the bonus. For me, I'm happy to be healthy, mobile and just contented. Not enough for some folks, but it is for me.
Excellent reply. Thank you. I am going to print that out and remind myself of that. Thanks
