Following Your Passion

I have a confession … I subscribe to Oprah’s E-Newsletter. For shame, yes I know, I’m not a stay at home housewife and as a career women I hate the which jeans look best on your butt articles but ya know I do find a lot of quality stuff in the vast media that is Team Oprah.

On this lazy Sunday, I particularly enjoyed reading Celebrities Discuss Following Their Passion. I’m not a celebrity gossip fan but I do love life lessons of people doing what they love to do.

Here’s a great quote from Aisha Tyler. Check out the rest if you’re interested.

Nothing really worth having is easy to get. The hard-fought battles, the goals won with sacrifice, are the ones that matter. I had to give up so much to do those awful college shows. But what I gained—the knowledge that I could do anything I set my mind to—was greater. What I learned in that shabby hotel room with the moldy shower curtain and the iron burns on the carpet was that I had what it took to go all the way: pure, unadulterated bullheadedness. – Aisha Tyler

I think it’s a pretty common struggle of twentysomethings to find our passion. Time and trial and error were my answers. What about you?

    Is this like AA where we make anonymous confessions. I subscribed to O. I started reading it as a free subscription. However, the articles about health, happiness, and finding your passion spoke to me at a time when I needed to hear that.

    We can all find our own jeans, it never hurts if someone tells us that they look good. The art to finding happiness and ourselves is never ending. That's what O does for us.
  • I have a confession too, I kind of like Oprah's Book Club. Please don't tell anyone...
