WRITING
Hobby Time!
part three
Find your passions in life. Make a list and seriously consider each thing you write down. Is it what you want or is it what you think other people want from you. Remember your life is yours alone.
​
You may be responsible for the care of others, children, parents, the sick or needy. But ultimately this is YOUR life. You only get one shot at it.
​
Don't waste another minute watching those adverts - you can watch the exact same ones tomorrow if you so wish. Believe me they won't go away! Television is one of the biggest time-consumers. And every moment you are watching, could be spent enjoying one of the passions in your life.
​
Try this experiment to find time for YOU in your life...
1. Make a list of your passions - remember they must be YOUR passions, no-one else's
2. Pick one and find time for it.
That's it!
Many years ago I learned to knit. Knitting has often had a fairly dull press.
​
-Knitting's for grannies
-Knitting is boring and time consuming.
​
But I enjoy the challenge. New yarns and stylish pattern designs make knitting fun and fast, and I can knit even if I am watching a film. Knitting can be picked up during the adverts and worked at for 5 or 10 minutes at a time. The equipment takes up very little space. It's cheap - often costing nothing - to set up.
​
Knitting is MY passion....what's yours?
Reading? Writing Poetry? Stamp collecting? Scrapbooking? or maybe your passions lie outside your four walls - Gardening? Tennis? Gym Club?
​
Find your passion and you WILL find the time AND the resources to carry it through. You may even turn your hobby into a thriving business. Books have been written on the subject. I'm on my way to creating a knitting empire at the moment.... !
