Garfield says, ìI hate Mondays!î You just canít help but agree.
You start your week dreading the days ahead and the work you
have to do. Just thinking of the tasks exhausts you already. You
count every second you spend to the endless routine you have to
fulfill. You constantly ask yourself, ìWhy am I doing this?î
Then you end up appeasing yourself, ìcanít always get what you
want.î
Maybe you can. Maybe you can do something you love and earn at
the same time. You just have to know what you want and what
youíre capable of. Then turn those mere possibilities into
realities. Once youíve realized your creative aspect, turn it
into a productive enterprise.
Know your passion. How does one know oneís passion? How does one
discover that deep fervor for a particular object or activity?
Think of what makes you happy. Ask yourself, when was the last
time I laughed wholeheartedly? What was I doing that time? Was
it a day you spent playing with little kids? Was it the time you
captured moments with your new camera. Go down memory lane and a
scrutiny of the pleasant activities and important places in your
life would tell a lot about your passion.
Examine also your interests. Be conscious of the choices you
make in your everyday activities. When browsing through
magazines, what are the topics of the articles you read? Does it
pertain to the arts, crafts, or entertainment? When tuning up
the television, what educational shows do you watch? Is it a
cooking show, art tutorials, traveling lifestyle or a sports
documentary?
Go beyond yourself and look at other people. Think of a person
who you believe personifies your ideal life. Is there any
particular person you look up to or respect so much? Deliberate
on the influence certain people have on you. Make an inventory
of the values of this person and how such traits affect your
existence.
Convert passion to action. Pondering on the points above will
help you find the way to know your desire. But that passion must
translate into action! This time busy yourself with things you
consider really worth your while. Pour those newly found
energies in your heart into a creative output.
Analyze your gifts and talents. Do you consider yourself to be
sufficiently skilled enough to materialize your heartís desire?
Or do you still consider your knowledge to be meager? Do you
have enough experience in the past? Or do you still have to
explore the field and ascertain some aspects? Assess not only
what you want but also your skills.
Give room for that endeavor. You do not have to drastically
leave your old life behind. You can start incorporating to daily
schedule that passion you have just unearthed. Dedicate
sufficient time to enjoy yourself with something you are
interested with. Consider it as something to look forward to in
everyday. This will help as it grants you pleasant moments in
everyday.
Enhance on the skills. As you spend more time with this passion,
explore further on your skills. Learn more about the topic. Read
books that would expand your knowledge. Practice everyday to
improve your skills. Attend seminars or classes if your schedule
would allow. Going to seminars and lectures would also pave way
to meeting people with same passion. You can converse with
experienced people and share with their knowledge on the topic.
Make sure that everyday you are able to progress.
Turn passion in action into profit. It is important to set goals
for your passion. Knowledge and skill in your passion would give
you a more confident stance into translating into another
desirable output. Aim high and turn your heartís desire into a
productive endeavor.
Make sure you have enough time and resources to spend on your
profit-making venture. Decide on how you are going to do this
endeavor. Would you put on your own workplace? Or would you just
be making your services available when the need arises? Check
out the field also. Who is your target market? How will my
creative output correspond to their need or want? Then examine
your creative output. Is it competitive enough? The quality
should be at par, if not beyond, with those found in the market.
You can also start with relatives and friends. Make them your
first customers and encourage them to help you with your
endeavor, at least through word of mouth. Be prepared though for
several setbacks and stressful moments. Any business endeavor is
sure to have.
This is one part of our lives that is worth taking. Oftentimes
we wonder how some people are getting paid for doing what they
want. Basketball players get paid to play your favorite sport.
Singers get paid to play your favorite tune. Models get paid to
wear your favorite designerís outfit. There is a certain part of
us that would want the same. It is just a matter of willingness
to take the first step and believing it will work out. Anyway,
there is nothing to lose. You could actually gain. This time, it
would be Garfieldís Monday mornings no more!
