We are in Pittsburgh this weekend for our son’s hockey tournament. Here is this little nine-year old that smiles getting onto the ice no matter what the time. Practices are 5:30am on Sundays and he actually springs out of bed to go…not one complaint. Some days he has double games. Hits, falls, and frustration never deter him. The kids that make up his team do not go to school with him. They are from all over the county. However, Peter doesn’t mind. His fire and energy just glow. For Peter, this spirit makes him happy and brings him a feeling of accomplishment.
Peter’s true enthusiasm has got me thinking.
What is your passion? Have you found it? Are you pursing it? How you do you make it fit into your adult life?If you don’t know what your passion is, look back to your childhood and think about what made you happy. Art? Music? Cooking? A sport?
I see the benefits of pursing a passion when I watch Peter.
Increased self-confidence
Expanding your boundaries
Empowerment
If all these positive results can occur for a nine-year old, think of how beneficial this can be for you. Dream on. Believe. Reach for it.
