Getting Started

I have wanted to start a blog of my own for a long time now, and well, today is as good of a day as any to start!  The purpose of my blog is to help myself focus on spending my time doing the things I really love, rather than on mindless, senseless activities.  Hence the title "Practice Your Passions".  I believe that just by being conscious of where my time is spent, I can be more productive in my life and get to do more things that I love!  Honestly, I am creating this blog just for me.  If I think it about what I want, write what I want, read what I want and have it somewhere stored where I can not lose it, then I have already focused a lot of energy into what I want, so I have a head start!  If this blog gets followed by others, that would be a nice surprise.  Perhaps by writing and sharing my journey and the things I learn along the way I can inspire others to in turn practice their own passions in their life - no matter how big or small. 

I am going to start today by creating two lists:
1) Things I have already done - this list will include things I have done that I am proud of, maybe were a little crazy, are goals I have achieved in my life, etc.  This list will serve as a reminder that if I put my mind to something, I can accomplish it!

2) Things I would like to do - a so-called "bucket list" - the things I want to do, places I want to see, and things I would like to learn in my life.  It will be my inspiration, my drive, the focus of my energies.

I will do this in my next couple posts so they are compiled in one location and easy to refer back to.

Peace :)
