Find That Something that Drives You!

In today’s go-go-go lifestyle it seems like everyone is running around trying to keep their head above water.  Lately, (and it kills me) I’ve had a few back-and-forth emails with friends trying to schedule a time to catch up, only to find out that the earliest we can meet is weeks away. The key to maintaining a full and active life is not to give things up, but to balance it all.

You don’t want to look back on your life 50 years from now and realize that your great success has cost you your life.  Making time for friends and family is very important.  Making time for you is also very important.

For instance, I make it a point to make time for myself through my running, and my most recent hobby; photography.  Even if it’s only thirty minutes here and there, it’s important.  Through my love of photography I read and draw inspiration from Chase Jarvis.  Chase is a professional photographer out in Seattle and maintains an excellent blog.  (http://www.chasejarvis.com)

Recently I watched an excellent video on his blog called, “Laura’s Story.” It’s a great video that reminded me that you’ve got to make time for the things in life that you’re passionate about. Thanks Chase!
