Vision

If you want to be happy, set a goal that commands your thoughts, liberates your energy, and inspires your hopes. -Andrew Carnegie

Sometimes I wonder if I have adult onset ADD or something because my passions, interests and attention are all over the place. I want to do so many different things in life that I never totally master or immerse myself in one particular thing at a time.

I very much thrive on variety and being well-rounded in my experiences, travel, interests, learning, etc. I could be going to the symphony one day, watching football in my PJ's the next day and then kayaking the day after that.

I personally love that flexibility and variety, but sometimes I just sit back and ask myself what my passion really is in life. I see people who are passionate in one area and that is what they focus their time, energy, money and talents on. They are immersed in that hobby and master it. I look at those people with envy - why don't I have 'that one thing' that I am obsessed with and am able to 'master' and become an expert at? And then I stop myself and say "Who cares? Don't compare yourself to others!"

It's a battle in my head at times and I don't know why I am so preoccupied with 'mastering' one single thing. I really do enjoy the variety and balance that I have created in my life, but yet I still look longingly at those who are focused intensely on one thing and I wish that I knew what my 'one thing' is! Ugh.

What is YOUR 'one thing' or do you enjoy the variety of life like I do? Maybe my 'one thing' has yet to present itself and it will hit me like a ton of bricks when I 'meet' it!
