I was resting in a cold water dip this morning thinking about what would make me happy and content now that I have money to pay all our bills for many years.
I assume having a passion and someone to love, a life partner if you will, and a healthy body and spirit.
Those are the things that should keep us satisfied. I was doing stand up comedy until about 2 or 3 years ago when I stopped basically, however now I feel like I am missing out so I am starting a weekly show this Tuesday. Find your passion. Perhaps you like doing drain line repairs and cleaning septic tanks, if that is what you appreciate then go for it. I assume having a challenge is fantastic for the mind and soul and adds a sense of purpose to our step. I’m sure some people like having a plumbing repair and a steady income and if that gives you a feeling of joy then you have found your path. I guess that when I was painting houses it was cool up to a point and then the people I was with and I began to recognize unhappiness and felt I needed to do something different, so I did. I got our plumbing license and did leak repairs for a few years until I felt like I needed another change, and that’s when I got into stand up comedy. I was 36 years old and felt like I was starting too late however as the years went by I realized that it doesn’t matter when you start, just that you start.
