Clock - Time

This is an excerpt from my eBook Passionate Living: A Simple Guide to Following Your Passion and Doing What You Love.

You probably think you don’t have enough time to follow your passion. You may have a family, a job, kids and other obligations to tend to.

I’m going to be blunt and say that there is always time for something you want. The issue doesn’t lie in time; it lies in how you prioritize your time.

You can use time as an excuse, but at least be honest with yourself. Don’t fool yourself into thinking that you will follow your passion if you aren’t willing to spend at least a few hours on it every single week.

When I began blogging, or writing online for that matter, I was scared of not doing it right. I was scared that my writing was going to scare people off.

I wanted to know the secret formula to writing web content that makes a difference.

It took me a while to realize that the important thing is having a voice, not writing perfectly or in any specific style.

I also realized that developing your writing style and voice takes time, which is why it’s crucial to get started and begin writing as soon as possible, even if you think you suck.

I personally write what I feel like I want to write. I have a lot of excuses and blocks I could succumb to, like anyone else, but this blog is about my journey and my experiences.

Country Flags, Clear Blue Sky - Language Lessons

In the last 9 weeks, I’ve been learning Spanish almost full time, and during this time, I’ve realized how interesting life really is.

At the moment I can understand Spanish very well and write well. The next few weeks I will be focusing almost entirely on improving my speech and becoming as fluent as possible.

What I have realized is that no matter what I do, as long as I do what I enjoy, I grow as a person.

During these last weeks, I’ve immersed myself in Spanish and dipped my toes in a few other languages. It’s been a lot of fun, but it has also opened my eyes in other areas of my life.

Core Excuses - Black and White Landscape

We all have our own excuses. They feel unique to each one of us, but in reality, we all deal with the same core excuses.

What I’ve seen over and over again is that excuses are merely imaginary walls standing between you and your dreams.

They can keep you from moving forward, but only if you let them. Those that are successful realize this and keep moving forward even when they feel like they can’t.

If making stuff happen was easy, everybody would be following their passion. You will bump into obstacles, and you will feel like you can’t do this or that, but you can.

Exploration often gets a low spot on our priority list. Exploration for me means going with what you feel. It means going with the flow and seeing what happens.

This is what I did when I first got the idea of moving to Spain. Before I came to Spain, I hadn’t traveled for a while.

My last trip was to Iquitos, Peru in November 2008, where I did an ayahuasca journey in the jungle. It was a long flight and it left me exhausted. I just wanted to rest after that.

After about a year my batteries were recharged and I felt the urge to travel again, so I started exploring different possibilities. I looked at countries such as New Zealand, Australia, USA, and many European countries.

I ended up going with Spain, because it felt good both in my heart and in my mind.
