New Year’s Resolution #4 -Pursuing Passions & Being Happy

“Am I doing what I really want to do?” my friend said as he was explaining why he was giving short notice that his family would be moving to San Antonio. That question hit me like a ton of bricks. I had to sit and ask myself the same question. My answer isn’t a resounding no, but it’s not an infinite yes either. How to I change that? Of course I wish I was doing more photography, but I like the stability of having a 35 hour work week. A job where I have to show up and do a good job and that’s enough. I don’t have to finish that said good job and go home to do more work since I am the boss; where I’ll have to worry about income flow, expenses, etc. I just need to remind myself that some of the best things come from taking risks. Like George Burns I would rather fail at something I love than succeed at something I hate. I should do what makes me happy.
