If you sign up for their email list, you get a bunch of nifty pdf resources. Normally I resent content being held hostage for my email address, but I feel like this one may actually have relevant and useful emails. We'll see.
Regardless, the free-but-with-a-catch documents are remarkable, and I'll be working my way through some of them in the coming months. Today I want to embark upon a beauty called 27 Questions to Find Your Passion. As you know, my sense of dissatisfaction and ennui is the driving force behind this blog, and I need to get serious about figuring out what I am actually here to do. Passion-finding resources seem like a good place to start.
So, we have question #1: What makes you happiest in your life? What excites you?
Without thinking too much, I made a list. Much on it is silly, some is obvious, and some seems strange. It's in no particular order, unless you count the order in which items occurred to me as I was writing. It's incomplete and changing and comprised of the things that I happened to write down one afternoon. Here goes.
Things that make me happy:
- dancing
- cooking
- good food
- cloudy, gloomy skies
- good company
- hot baths
- stretching
- sweet-smelling flowers
- acceptance
- fuzzy socks
- cuddles
- reading a good book
- music
- creating
- making a positive impact
- wearing fabulous hats
- feeling exhausted
- the smell of horses
- spontaneity
- fresh air
- cold drinks on a hot day
- planning
- going new places
I find it interesting that most things on the list have nothing to do with material possessions. Presumably as long as I have enough socks, hats, and a kitchen to cook in, I'll be perfectly happy with my stuff. Interesting. My happy list is mostly about doing things, getting outside, traveling, and being with people.
Presumably, the questions will get progressively more challenging to answer. I'm endeavoring to not read ahead too much, and to just address each question.
What makes you happy?
