Doing Hula Hoops

Doing Hula Hoops

What impels you to get out of bed each morning? What is your passion? What keeps you going? Are you trying to live up to someone else's dream? Are you living your dream?

I've been watching the Olympics this week and it is amazing what some of these athletes do every day. They exercise their skill seven or eight hours a day. They eat, breath and live their skill. They never seem to tire out. It's because they are passionate about what they do. They found their true reason for living. They don't live it for their parents or coach. It's something inside of them that carries a torch. It's the spark that makes a difference.

If you are fighting the current for the life you really want to live, then no wonder you are exhausted. Doing something for someone else or living your life for someone else is the quickest way to feel defeated, to feel exhausted. Why are you jumping through hoops for someone's life. You must live your own life. Do the things that you want to do. Do the things that inspire you.

You will find that by doing the things that inspire you, you will have more energy. You will want to wake up and do hula hoops because it is your life!!!

Happiness comes when you forget about yourself. When the attention is on what you do makes a difference not that it is you. When you can feel good about what you do is helping someone or what you do makes a difference in your life and those whom you come in contact, then you find that it is worth it to do hula hoops, it makes a difference in life. You realize that happiness has found you, not that you are chasing happiness for happiness to allude you.

Never give up. You are worth it! Together we can make a difference in understanding depression. We can learn to live the life we dream and doing our own hula hoops. Go for it!
