"Just don't give up trying to do
what you really want to do."
Ella Fitzgerald
Each one of us has the desire to tinker with something: engines and motors; stitchery or quilting; singing or playing an instrument; photography or painting. It might begin as a simple pass time while we are young, but find ourselves dabbling in it during the rest of our education. We may find our hobby becomes lost during our family or career years, but there is no reason to give it up entirely.
To maintain our interest, we can downsize to a smaller project or a reasonable reserved time to keep our pleasures alive. We can arrange private lessons, attend gatherings of like minded people or attach to resources as they tend to present themselves along the way.
Eventually, the time will come when we can direct our full time energy back into our dreams. If we have stayed minimally active, our reengagement will be effortless. The focus is not to become a national celebrity, but to build upon the gift or talent for which we have been blessed. It doesn't matter how elementary the approach. The pursuit is to rekindle the desire within once more.
