Find Your Passion In ONE Step

Find Your Passion In ONE Step

Posted by | Aug 11, 2016 | , | 0 |

There are many ways to find your passion; I don’t think there is only ONE way to do it.    Some people say do what you find the most enjoyable, which requires to look back, take the time to process and make decisions.  Some say you need to look at people you admire the most and find inspiration.  For me I found my passion out of an impulse, a bet that I made to do something I never did before.  When I was diagnosed with a brain tumor, during the days between the diagnosis and meeting a doctor to...

Tim and Tom a Story of Change

This is the story of Tim and Tom; they were two farmer squirrels living in the middle of a great agriculture area somewhere in a bountiful place.  They cultivated nuts, and they were pretty happy with them.  They were making a good living out if it; they inherited the orchard from their parents, and farming nuts is what they knew how to do.  In fact, they went to school to become farmers, learn farming techniques that include irrigations practices and weed control and many other things.  They were happy to take over the farm their folks built. Things didn’t...

Two nights ago I couldn’t sleep well, but I had a reason.  The following day (Wed) I needed to make my yearly pilgrimage to my neurosurgeon's office.   Last year’s MRI showed that my tumor was growing again.  It has been four years since my previous brain surgery and this year’s review was key.  By taking measurements every year, one can predict the rate of growth of the tumor, so this year’s analysis was crucial.     The night before, I was restless.   I kept thinking of the what ifs.  I am a big proponent of changing your...

Fearless or Fearing Less a Matter of Perspective

Not long ago, I went out on a run.  I was enjoying the views we are blessed to have in the area where I live, and taking in all in, fear is never on my radar. When I run, I like to think that I am a cheetah and a ninja or a combination of both, fast and silent as I don’t want to disrupt the peace that surrounds me.   On this particular day on the distance,  I saw a couple walking.   These lovebirds were holding hands and enjoying, like me, the views and the trail and...
