Passion

Sharron just wrote a little something about what she may enjoy doing. Aymiee says she sometimes feels guilty about following what she enjoys. That's something that I'm familiar with. Having two children of my own and being a single father, sometimes I feel like I should cut out a majority of what I enjoy and am passionate about.

Here's a little post that touches on the subject:

"MYTH: PURSUING YOUR PASSION IS SELFISH AND SELF-INDULGENT

Wrong. Pursuing your passion is quite possibly the best thing you could ever do for your loved ones.

Imagine the difference between someone who grinds through their day in a job that sucks the life out of them, and someone who actually gets energy from the work they do. Which one would you want to be around at the end of the day? Which one is going to be a better wife, husband, parent, friend?

The positive ripple effect on your family, on your co-workers, and even just random people you encounter is substantial."

The cool thing is when I share with my son what I've been doing he actually shows genuine interest. And really for the most part it's reciprocal. He loves to show me what he's working on and I'm definitly interested. I think long term things like that are relationship builders.
