do what your heart desires

In the last couple of days I've finally managed to catch up with some close friends, which has proven a difficult task in the past few months as everyone, myself included is always busy! I really am thankful for the flexible I can have with my time, although I had to catch myself recently, as I felt that I was spending too much time doing that. So when I got home at the end of the day, I worked and worked till the early hours of the morning to make up for time lost. Which there wasn't any of... I was just losing sleep! I know how easy it is to slip into the mindset of working yourself hard and being productive, but I'm learning to shift that focus to other areas, such as investing in relationships and personal growth. So a coffee date here or there, or spending some time reading a book is ok, and is in fact a good thing.

Going back to those long awaited catch ups, it was wonderful to hear my friends' life stories and being able to share our dreams. It's really encouraging to see people going after their passions, whether it be writing, dancing, music, brand management or even perfecting their coffee making. Everyone has a particular desire that stirs their heart, and it is a big thing to step out into it. Despite all your fears and barriers in front of you, if you commit to your desires, the passion that drives you will get you through to see those dreams come true.

If you don't know already, set some time aside to find those desires of your heart. It's worth it.
