Do the Thing You Love

Do you have something that you love to do?

For me, it's writing. But, for you, it might be something else. Maybe it's reading or music or visual art. Maybe you love to paint or draw. Maybe you just love to run or dance.

Whatever it is... may I encourage you to do it?

Don't let all the "but I have to..." excuses keep you from doing the things that make your heart soar.

I know there are so many things that need our attention. There is work and family and children and home maintenance. There are errands and family obligations and all the things that we think we have to do.

But these things that fill your heart with such joy?  They need to be done, too. They need to be given permission to be valid ways for you to spend your time, and not just guilty pleasures... because your heart and your spirit need them. The things that leave your soul smiling?  These are the important things. These are the things that make life special and meaningful and worth doing.

So find the thing that is yours. Find the thing that leaves you smiling and fulfilled and pleased that you did it.  And then.. do it.  Give yourself permission to do it.

You'll be really glad that you did.
