Yep, our first boating season is almost done. Way too fast, I would say.

Have you noticed how fast good things come to pass in our lives?

It is annoying.

And don’t forget that it will not slow down as you get older; on the contrary, believe me!

That’s why we must enjoy every minute of every day.

As for our boating season, we will enjoy the last few weeks ahead and prepare the vessel for the next season.

There is some work to do, mainly esthetic jobs like wood varnishing, waxing the outside and refurbishing the dashboard. It will keep us busy for some weekends this winter.

That brings me to talk to you about the importance of having passion in your life.

Successful people have passion. They are passionate about something. It could be making money, their family, work, writing, etc. Anything can become a passion for someone.

Yes, I found myself another passion these past months in boating. The learning curve was a big part of it.

When you discover something that becomes a passion, the time spent learning everything you can about it is part of the deal, and it is not dull or hard to do. You want more!

The same thing can happen in your work, too. When you love what you do to the point that it becomes a passion, everything you do to reach your goals is far from boring. Even when the naysayers tell you otherwise, you ignore them.

Remember that what is a passion for you will not necessarily be for someone else. It is rare to find someone who has or is as passionate as us about the same thing! It is more of a personal matter.

So, keep the most of it for yourself and enjoy the solo ride.

It is hard sometimes to understand the passion someone has for something. The time and money invested in the thing are never well understood. It will not be at all, most of the time.

Having a passion in life is a backdoor for our peace of mind. That is where we can escape our daily routine.

It is where we can get out of our thoughts and focus on one thing at a time.

It is where the stress goes out of our minds.

There is no one successful who doesn’t have a passion for something.

So today, what are you passionate about?

Do you use that passion to your advantage?

If not, find one fast and use it!
