I Feel Like I FINALLY Found My Passion!
I'ts currently 11:32PM here in southern Vermont and I can't sleep a wink!
I went to bed hours ago but I have been kept awake by a burning desire to get back to work. I keep having ideas for posts and articles and I want to keep going on my training here at WA. There's so much I'm excited about now but one thing is definitely taking the spotlight in my soul. I have FINALLY found my passion!
I have been in and out of the online business world for years now and I have never been able to make anything stick. I kept giving up after a week or two and I could always feel it coming. Not this time. When I look ahead, I see nothing but success and helping other. It's an amazing feeling to work on something that you're truly passionate about. It makes the work that you put into it that much for fulfilling. I hope that all of you find your passions as well. It may take a while and there may be a lot of hit-and-miss trials by error, but I promise you that if you keep with it you will find it. I am living proof of this.
I know this is different from any other time I've tried to succeed because all the other times I've tried I was only thinking about the end goal. This time though, I am excited about the journey itself. Putting in the work puts a smile on my face. That's how I know that I hit something inside myself. I struck a nerve and I'll never be the same... Thank goodness!!!
I absolutely had to log on and share this with all of you. Stick to your goals. Even if it doesn't seem like you're getting anywhere, you really are. It took me dozens of failed attempts to finally get to this point. What I know about those failures now is that while they felt meaningless at the time they were incredibly important. I no longer view them as failures. They were simply lessons I learned about what NOT to do, which is just as important as learning what TO do. I am learning to value my failed attempts because they brighten the light that illuminates the path I'm supposed to be on. Sounds cheesy I'm sure, but I really do mean every word.
Here's to the journey and loving the work put in.
Cheers!

Another powerful post, Christopher
I was similar to you with wanting to stay working 24/7 and soon realised my work will be there after I sleep and refresh- lol
Balance my friend balance.

Hi Vicki,
I understand what you're saying about balance. Thank you for the advice as well.
I just finished a page on my site and with that completed I am off to sleep- lol
Thanks for your support! :)
Hey Chris. It is a great feeling isn't it. I know how you feel. I have been up late many times and it feels like my computer is calling me...of course, my computer is in my bedroom! LOL Keep going and you will see results!
Hey Karen,
Yes it is a great feeling! As you may be able to tell by my WA profile name (ChrisBarr2) this is my second time around here at Wealthy Affiliate. I ended up losing my way and giving up the first time. I just didn't take it as seriously and I also hadn't yet found a niche that I was truly passionate about.
Thank you for your support. It really does mean a lot.
Christopher
You know what? I have seen a lot of people that tell me this is their 2nd time around. Nothing to be ashamed about. Now you are ready and I cannot wait to see where you go! All the best and stay safe!
