Do what you love

I've always heard that if you do what you love you will be happy and I believe that because when I do what I love, I definitely am happy. Life doesn't always allow us to be doing something we are passionate about so we must make time for it and create that place where you can feel like you're doing something good for yourself. It's not selfish at all to take time doing things you love, it's a necessity.

For me writing is my passion. It's what I love to do and it fuels creativity. I build, sculpt, paint and draw often using nature as my medium. However, writing is the most effective outlet I've found so far. It does take effort and seeking of inspiration but mostly it comes naturally which feels best.

I love this quote that is read by Shiva Rea in one of her guided yoga practices. It reminds to keep on my path of seeking,writing,reflecting and conquering all my desires and fears.

"As a bee seeks nectar from all kinds of flowers,seek teachings everywhere; like a deer that finds a quiet place to graze, seek seclusion to digest all that you've gathered; like a madman beyond all limits go wherever you please and live like a lion, completely free of all fear."
