When we do what we love

What is your vision for life? What are you passionate about and what pulls your heart to move in one direction or another? Often when I see clients for vocational support they have lost sight of what they’re feeling passionate about. These internal instincts or feelings also known as intuition, can offer a vast amount of support when it comes to figuring out a direction in life. As Steve Jobs wrote “the vision pulls you.” These types of ideas may come to us on a regular basis, but we shut them out with our mental filter because we have other obligations or day to day events seem to get in the way. This is similar to how children eventually turn off their creative side as they become older in order to assimilate with how society works. Spend a day thinking about your creative side! What kinds of creative development do you enjoy? A client told me last week “I’m not very creative because I don’t enjoy painting like my mom does” – creativity can be produced in so many forms! I explained to her that gardening can be a creative expression, interior design, many forms of art, music, web development, photography, graphic arts, etc… The options for creativity are endless and can be discovered in our life on a daily basis. The passion behind our projects, combined with a great amount of creativity ultimately drives our success forward. Take off the filter you’ve developed and allow this natural flow of passion and creativity to happen!
