Create the life you choose

What are your biggest passions?

I have been totally inspired by my husband. He decided a few weeks back to leave his current job role, step out into the unknown and find something he feels really motivated by. A very brave thing to do and also very exciting at the same time.

During his first few days, he started writing a blog connected with his other great passions - football (www.colsfootballthoughts.com). The blog was created to give an alternative view of football, challenging views that have been written in the common media.

In a short time it has proved to be a winner with some days up to 400 hits alone. He is receiving lots of great feedback and the word is spreading very quickly. Writing has become part of his daily ritual and he's loving it. Who knows where it will lead!

He also started up a photography website, photography being another of his passions. After mentioning the website to a friend, he was then asked to take photos of the band she plays in. Totally unexpected but an offer he couldn't refuse.

His other work opportunities are also looking very promising, he now has a clear idea of what he really wants and he is starting to attract the right jobs his way.

I can't keep up with him. Every day after work I can't wait to get home and hear what exciting developments have taken place. All of this he has created for himself.

So what are your big passions? Are you spending your days doing what you really enjoy? If so, well done you. Would love to hear more. If not, what could you do to change things? Why not create a life you feel really good about and one that gives you energy.

Life is too short and the world is your oyster!
