Drop Into Your Dearest Interest

• on 16 August 2015

Sometimes you have to do things over and over again, until you are satisfied with the result. But that is never a problem, if you like the way you spend your time. Anything worth doing is worth doing badly. If you are not good at it but are drawn to it, do it anyway. It may be your hidden talent or calling. Most likely it is. Curiosity is the sure sign of a purpose behind your fascination. You can learn any technique, you can acquire skills — and you will. But you can not “learn” passion or attention — that is innate.

Maybe you have developed skills in a field that doesn’t intrigue you and feels like no challenge to you at this point. That what captivates you, that is your thing.

Go for it.

You can put it off. It will surface in other ways. By not pursuing your dearest interest, you might get depressed, you might sedate your fire, you might distract yourself with activities that don’t mean that much to you, you might distract yourself with people. Life will keep telling you what you love. The answer is to drop into it.

It is not about speed, expertise, financial gain, impressing anyone, getting out of a comfort zone. Do it to feel alive. Do it because you must.
