Routine is good, right?
Iron your shirts on a Sunday, 50 press-ups in the morning (ok maybe 10!), check worldcoinindex.com to see if Steem has mooned. All good things to be doing with your time, but how about raising your game up to awesome?
I used to be a firm believer that routine, balancing out the days activities across a number of things, was the key to being happy and making my way through the week unscathed. This could still be true but perhaps somewhere inside, there is a true passion being hidden by all these 'good' things - Why settle for good when you could have epic?!
Forget balance and aim for epic
Surely that's what for example, top athletes and footballers are doing from an early age. School, grades, piano lessons with your bad-breathed tutor, Church, kiss-chase, etc, would all need to take a back seat. I'm pretty sure David Beckham wasn't messing around with the flute, aged 8. No, he was kicking a football and loving it - loving it so much he became a world star.
Of course, you do not need to start young, and many people don't find their true passions until later in life - It makes sense to have seen a bit of the world, and what's happening around it before you could pick from the huge list of possibilities.
All in?
Devotion is what has made people epic at this love of theirs. To become excellent at something takes time and deadication, time that you may not have should your life be shared around many activities and people. Selfishness required for your true devotion, I think so. This is your life though, so don't feel bad about it!
Over the next few months i'll be tipping the scales again and unbalancing myself, leaving work, friends, family to seek out new places and things to fill my soul. Lets see what happens!
Good-bye balance! - Bungee jump!
Hopefully the dtube video will work!...
