doing what you love

Yesterday I went to see Al Di Meola and his world symphony perform at the Funchal Jazz Festival. Awesome! Absolutely fabulous!
This was the perfect example of somebody who really does what he most loves to do! And is great at it, by the way! He performed uninterruptedly for a couple of hours and he was having so much fun doing it! His enthusiasm, his true joy spread to the audience and the thousands of people watching were all shaking, dancing or clapping at the contagious rhythm.

Have you noticed how beautiful it is to see somebody’s eyes lighten up when they’re talking about something they really enjoy doing? There’s no money in the world that pays that!

When I lived in Mozambique I had a hobby of creating jewellery using indigenous materials. When I was at it, I totally lost track of time! I could go on and on for hours, not noticing the noise or the people around me, even forgetting to eat or to sleep! Such was the pleasure I got out of that!

Some people have jobs or own businesses that make them feel this way. And often they don’t realize how lucky they are. This sort of positive energy is something that we should all try to get into our lives. And it’s up to each of us to do that. Don’t wait for somebody else to provide it to you!

Think about what it is that you most love to do. The thing that really warms your heart, brightens your face, helps you forget the worries… Got it? Ok, if it’s still not what you get to work on, make sure you include some of it on your weekly planning.

How richer does your life feel now?
