How do you find your passion?

Finding your passion can be tricky, especially if you are like me and interested in many different things, but once you have found it, it can be the best thing you have ever done. 

I love writing to me it has become my passion, and it something I have always loved to do, but wasn’t sure how to share this with people. Then I discovered the world of blogging and it has become my passion to share the many things I am interested by creating blogs.

I have made mistakes and like most things in life I am still learning, but that is the joy of it. Like a Stand up comedian wants to know what jokes worked and what didn’t, I want to know what blogs grabbed an audience attention and what didn’t.

Being part of the blogging community has changed my life, it made me see that my words can be powerful to others and that makes me feel good to be able to reach out to others by the power of the internet. 

Check out this video below which talks about how to find your passion. 

Searching for your passion can take time, but be persistent.

You have to train yourself and develop good habits that you can be passionate about. See my blog I wrote about My Daily Habits, and you got to start doing rather than thinking. 

Check out this video, by Marie Forleo.

So go and find your passion, create and action plan to help you get you there, and keep pursuing as your passion will come.

As I have grown through the years, now I am 40 years of age I have incorporated some daily habits that set me up through the days, weeks and months.

The first thing I always do is get out of bed and dressed, unless it is the weekend and I allow myself some time just in my PJ’s as I see the weekend as my personal time, where I can do what I want, with the exception I have to look after my son of course he is priority.

The second thing that I incorporate is Youtube, or listening to podcasts in the morning and through out my day, they really help get my motivational juices going and where I get my inspiration for my blogs and books from.

Thirdly going for a walk even if it is to my son’s school and back or through the local park, grab a coffee on the way and let my thoughts roll through my mind.

Fourth thing is making my bed, it really does help set up the day and makes sure once I am up, I am up out of bed for good, even though there are still days I may sneak back into bed occasionally, but I still get my work done.

Cleaning the house is important to me too, and having and sort through, potter around putting bits and pieces away, really helps with my days and clear the mind.

Brushing my teeth and exercising at home is also a daily occurrence that I like to add into my days and gets me on the move and stop procrastinating.

Plus planning, without planning I wouldn’t be able to function at all, and is what I do on a daily basis so I know, where I am heading and what needs to be done. Check out my Filofax and Planner page on carriesrealworld.com

So what your daily habits I would love to hear from you.

Many thanks for reading,

Taking a leap of faith

Being someone who loves watching Youtube. I watch it every morning, whilst my son has his breakfast and in between getting him ready for school, I was alerted a video by Will Smith. Yes, the Will Smith has a Youtube channel.

He decided to on a challenge and bungee jump from a helicopter into the Grand Canyon.

Don’t get me wrong this is something I would never do, but I can’t help but get inspired by people who would, or have done.

Check out the video below:

The biggest challenge I have ever taken on was taking part in the Great North Run, and I remember travelling up there getting quite emotional, thinking I wouldn’t make it back home, but I did.

After I took on the challenge of the Great North Run, the Adrenaline rush was intense and I felt I could take on the world.

Taking a leap of faith can help you get out of a rut, and make you see that you can take on anything, if you put your mind and heart to it.

So if there is something you have always wanted to do, then do it, as life is short and we all don’t know what is around the corner, and setting challenges can really help the mind and body.

If you have completed challenges like Will Smith than fantastic and well done, I think you are amazing, and inspiring.

What has been the biggest challenge in your life?

Is there something you have always wanted do and done it?

How did make you feel?

Many thanks for reading,

Taking on Challenges in life

Life is full of hurdles, we go through some good times and some bad, and it is how you react to the bad times that can help you concentrate on the good.

I have been watching some inspiring videos of those with terminal illnesses, or have been fighting an illness, and I didn’t purposely go to watch these, I came across them via Youtube, and has made me put my own life in perspective.

The first person I started watching was a young lady called Emily Hayward, who was battling with cancer. She sadly lost her life only a couple of weeks ago, but her videos were so uplifting, that you kind of oversaw the illness she was facing. She made you understand what it is like to go through such a battle. She was such a fighter that I think how she came across and lived her life, will live on, and will help those who also fighting illnesses like cancer.

Please check out Emily Hayward Youtube Channel, her vlogs were great to watch and sad they will be no more.

I also came across a lady called Charlotte Eades who had a Brain Tumor. She developed a Youtube Channel not just about her fight with cancer, but her love for beauty, fashion and handbags. She filmed way up until she died, and her family have carried on making videos to help others and helped to raise money to help those with brain tumors, so more research can go into brain related cancer.

I then came across some videos called My Last Days, first one is of a girl named Kat who was battling Gastric Cancer. To warn you some scenes you might find distressing, but wanted to share it, as her story is so inspiring and she has a wonderful surprise at the end, and does something for a little boy whom had leukemia.

Then I came across a girl named Claire Wineland, who also has a Youtube channel. See her story below.

Life is full of challenges, but seeing things from someone else eyes can really help you face those challenges, not allow them to predict how you feel.
