It is Saturday, the start of the weekend. For most of us, we are looking for relaxation and sleeping in. If we are feeling a little industrious, we may try to get caught up on all of the household chores we let slip during the week. These are all good options, but I caution you on leaving out one very important item.
A recent survey showed that 87% of people are unhappy at their job. It is easy to see why this happens. You start to get seniority, maybe save up some vacation and even invest in a retirement program. It is vital to remember that we were not born to wake up, pay bills and die. No! We were meant to bring to the world the happiest, most joyous version of ourselves.
How can we do that while going to a job that sucks the life out of us? By pursuing and engaging in a passion project. You may be thinking, "I have too much on my plate now! I just want to relax." The truth is complicated. Have you ever slept only to wake up still exhausted and uninspired? We need to stoke the fire in our soul.
Adding a project you are passionate about may seem like something that will only drain you further, but the opposite is true. Working on something you enjoy, something you're excited about, will give you more energy. It will give you hope and something to look forward to. Who knows, you may even end up making it your career! Whether that happens or not, just having that joy is life-changing.
