This might seem like an obvious statement but for many, it’s not. If you are like me and perhaps most people, you’ll find that doing what you love is often thought of as a luxury to behold. How can I do what I love when…is usually the visceral response.
The better question to ask yourself is how can you Not do what you Love doing? Time, is that precious gift given to all but in measure. We are only here physically for a finite amount of time. And, as morbid as this is to say, time is not promised to us. Tomorrow or today even could be it. Lights out. This is a sobering truth.
So wouldn’t it be more productive to utilize the gift of time wisely, with a sense of purpose and passion? Some people may not consciously know what it is they love to do but many of us do know, deep down, what we love. It could be as simple as taking long walks in the park or it could be as complex as cataloguing the stars in space.
Whatever you love to do, it is worth your time and effort. Love it not self-destructive. Love is patient and kind. No harm can come from true love and no Love is too small or insignificant to pursue. It all matters. If you were to ask yourself today, would what I am doing right now, really matter a year from now, what would be your actual response?
Sadly, for many of us, the answer would be futile in that what we are doing with most of our time today, wouldn’t amount to anything now or later on. Not to get too religious on you, but as a Christian, there is a saying in the Bible where Jesus talks about our ‘work’ being tested by fire. 1 Corinthians 3:13 states ‘But on the judgment day, fire will reveal what kind of work each builder has done. The fire will show if a person’s work has any value’. God wants to ensure that we live our time pursing the gifts, talents and passion put in our heart.
This is critical. You don’t have time to waste so don’t wait another moment. What can you do today that can point your sails in the direction of what you Love?
