It is a lifelong process.
You don’t have to be successful at a hobby to enjoy it.
We’re a family that loves music.
Singing was a part of every family event.
But we are no Jackson five.
Just people who enjoy singing.
Music took preference over college in my late teens, even though I had no desire to become Joan Baez, Cliff Richards, or Bon Jovi.
We’re also a family who likes to write.
My mom liked to write.
Me and my siblings like to write.
My daughter likes to write.
But we are no J.K. Rowlings.
We are just people who like to write, and enjoy writing.
At any stage of your life, a new hobby might emerge, that you enjoy.
It could be creating things with a Cricut.
It could be painting.
It could be cooking.
It could be gardening.
It could be wine-making.
It could be reading.
It could be playing a sport like soft ball, or pickleball, or basketball, or cricket.
It could be watching movies.
It could be photography.
It could be walking with friends.
It could be an ipad or phone game, a board game, or a video game.
It could be karaoke, or hula dancing.
It could be dress making.
It could be answering Quora questions, or writing a blog, both of which I do.
It is more important you enjoy your hobby, than that you are successful at it.
Success, in my book, is enjoying something so much, you want to continue to do it.
And you find a way to continue doing it.
Yes, it's all about the enjoyment.
At least, in my book.
