Be a fanatic

Japanese Characters by Philip Dodson (Oil on canvas board)

Life’s routines can overwhelm us and lead us down a path of repetition and a lack of sparkle.

Weeks, months, years even can drift by and often all we have done is the same, work, chores, the same places and the same people.

If, however, we have something that is a passion, a hobby, an interest, then that brings opportunity for new things, new experiences, new people, and it brings sparkle and joy.

In order for that to happen, you need to be a fanatic about something.

It could be art, music, walking, gardening, stamp collecting, bird watching, sailing, or whatever.

But having a mild interest won’t bring the magic, you need to jump in, you need to be fanatical about it to get the best.

Find something that you love and who know’s sometimes these fanatical pastimes become your life’s love and work.

Better than another whirr around the monotonous cog of a life of routine and conformity.

If you are going to do something in life, whatever that is, then we might as well go the ‘whole nine yards’.

There is a temptation to do more. But in doing more we deliver less as we have to shortcut to achieve many things.

If we only had the patience to do one thing and do that really well, the best that we can.

Become known for it, be admired for it, be the person that people will come to.

We control all our choices in life and it is up to us how many things we do and how well we do them.

But no one remembers busy people, they remember people who did something remarkable.
