As you begin reading this article, ask
yourself a question ... are you pursuing your
passion right now? If you aren't, why not?
What's holding you back?
For a lot of people, it's the fear of taking
The Big Plunge.
There's an underlying belief in our culture
that we need to do everything in one fell swoop.
To make a commitment and charge ahead with both
guns blazing. We want maximum results - right
here, right now.
And that leaves some people feeling
paralyzed.
That's unfortunate, because the passion
pursuit is really a long-term gig. At the risk
of being cliche, it's a journey, not a
destination.
Your passion may not manifest fully right
away.
It may take a year, or
five, or ten. And that's OK. The important thing
is that you start taking those first steps,
because you'll never know what your journey has
to offer unless you do.
The Passion Pool
I like to describe committing to the passion
pursuit as getting in the Passion Pool. We're
conditioned to think that we need to climb the
high dive and take a soaring leap into the deep
end. For many, that's a terrifying thought that
keeps them on the edge of the pool, looking
longingly at the water, but unwilling to take
The Big Plunge.
We forget that there's a shallow end of the
pool as well! We can dip our toes in and see how
the water feels. We can wade in up to our knees
and start splashing about, taking small steps to
bring that passion into our lives. As we get
accustomed to it, we can start going a little
deeper.Hey! Up to my waist!.and deeper.Whoohoo!
Up to my armpits! Wow! This feels kinda good!
I've heard countless excuses from people for
why they can't pursue their passions. "I've got
a mortgage. I've got to put the kids through
college. I've got this obligation or that
obligation."
OK. So you've got major obligations that are
standing in the way of taking The Big Plunge.
That's reasonable. But what's stopping you from
delighting in a little splashing in the shallow
end? You may not be in a position to jump in
feet first, but I'll bet you dollars to donuts
that you are able to find a way to dip in your
toes.
Stomping Grapes in the Passion Pool
Paul Beveridge, an environmental attorney in
Seattle, has had a long-standing love affair
with wine. In 1988, in the cellar of his wife's
restaurant, Paul dipped his toes in his own
Passion Pool and made his first two barrels of
wine.
In the years since, the number of barrels has
grown steadily, though Paul has kept it small
enough to manage as a side business.
Wilridge Winery now produces 80 barrels a
year and has won numerous awards for its wine.
Paul has also been able to add his passion
for ceramics to the mix, creating extraordinary
ceramic wine bottles (even taking on the
challenge of creating a huge magnum holding
fourteen cases of his wine, which sold for
$10,000 at a local charity auction).
He still practices environmental law
downtown. The potential is always there for
taking The Big Plunge and focusing exclusively
on the winery, but for now Paul has created an
opportunity to pursue his passion on a scale
that makes sense for him and his family. It has
been - and continues to be - a slowly evolving,
ongoing journey.
Start Now!
I'd like to encourage you to make a
commitment to yourself. In the next seven days,
identify one thing you can do to begin pursuing
your passion - and start doing it! How can you
work within your current obligations and take
those first steps along your passionate path?
It doesn't matter how small it is - the
important thing is that you do it!
If you've already got a clear picture of the
passions you'd like to pursue, then identify
small, achievable ways you can start bringing
them into your life.
Are you a budding artist? Commit to painting
for an hour each week. Love to teach people?
Start mentoring or tutoring someone for an hour
a week, or spend an hour each week teaching your
kids something new. Want to be an outdoor guide?
Plan a weekend trip with friends once a month.
And remember, there are no wrong decisions.
Nothing you explore is cast in stone, so feel
free to experiment.
