Sometimes when we are at a crossroads with work, social life, or anything else, it’s a great time to take a step back, inhale deeply in meditation, and then……have some good old-fashioned fun! Yup, you heard that right. What good does endless stressing do? How do mindless thoughts, anxious movements, or rash actions help the cause? They Dont!!!. It’s not productive to stay stuck in a rut just going through the motions without getting positive results. If this is happening to you in any facet of your life, it can be a great sign, that you are not on the right track or path and need to listen to your inner child to see what makes you happy.
Explore what floats your boat and tickles your fancy. For some, it may be reading, exercising, playing board games, solving puzzles, drawing, crafting, building etc…. There are infinite ways that people have found since childhood to entertain themselves. So reach back into your bag of childhood desires and enjoy it while you are stuck in the mud of adult needs and motions. you never know, it could very well lead to a lifetime of happiness turning your passion into a successful career and financial windfall!
The best way to organically find out is to do something that makes you happy. It can be large or small but you never know where that can lead. Case in point, My niece Cortney decided to pursue her lifelong passion of getting back into swimming. Over the past couple of years, she has been teaching swim lessons at the Inspirational SWEMSCHOOL in DeKalb, Georgia during the off time of her 9-5 job. That passion for gliding through the water again coupled with the feeling of helping others young and old, overcome their fears to pick up a valued and extremely important safety skill eventually led to her amazing new career path and promotion at The Swem School to Executive Project Manager!! Now she works full time helping to partner with major corporations to help assist the SwemSchool grow and thrive all the while being influential in sharing her lifelong passion for swimming!! Wow, way to go Cort!!!
It is truly amazing to see in real-time reality how following your happiness can lead you to financial and spiritual gains that are immeasurable.
The concept of the SwemSchool in itself is a testament to letting your experiences and interests drive your career path. In Founder and CEO Trish Miller’s own words…
“CEO, Trish P. Miller, learned to swim as an adult after her own near-drowning experience as a teenager. That experience inspired her to be an advocate for community-based drowning prevention programs.
The SwemSchool offers lessons for students of all ages, from infancy to adulthood, and believes that anyone, at any age can benefit from swimming.”
