Pursue Your Passion

Do something you love, and you’ll never have to work a day in your life. So goes the old saying.

Anyone who has ever started a business based on their passion knows that, just because you are passionate, it doesn’t mean you won’t be working your rear end off.    The idea is, if you are doing something you love, the effort you put in comes just a little more naturally and those long hours are just a little more enjoyable.  Success will be all the sweeter.



I am very proud of a friend of mine, who is a full-time mother of two little ones, just decided to take on a challenge in realising her dream.  Stressful as it may sound, but she is already deriving lots of joy in such an exciting engagement.  


"I can feel butterflies in my tummy" she says. 


I congratulated her in finding that overwhelming sense of self.  Not everyone can.  


Making her passion a success isn’t easy of course, but it isn’t impossible with the help of the internet and the social media these days.  Depending on the nature of her business, “success” can mean either commercial success, or a financially sound charitable course.  The fact that she's willing to take on the challenge, to me, is already a huge success on its own.    


I would like to take this opportunity to wish the owner of Valerie Bloom all the best in pursuing her own passion!
