A friend recently retired and we chatted about how to handle that abrupt change from full speed to full stop. I wanted to ask them what they dream about, day or night, for a hidden talent may be buried within. We often dismiss such skills as too easy, but they’ve been implanted for a reason. Our goal should be to bring them to life. Deep dives can help; focusing, learning and doing and practicing, to the point of extreme. Could an excavation of your day/night dreams fuel your passion? I’d be hard pressed to pick one specific field toward which I could do a deep dive. Instead, I have a scattered list of pursuits that increase skill and expertise. It’s more like floating for miles than a sharp break of the water from high above to the deeps. It fuels passion just the same and along the way, spikes energy in all expressive pursuits. If you were given an extra, unscheduled, free-from-distraction hour each week, what would you do? However you come upon it, I hope you are finding, defining and fueling your path to becoming the person you are meant to be.
