Bestowed by many talents, but stuck with earning a living???
Is that your story too?
Many alike are so blessed with abundance of talent and
creativity, but are busy with their jobs, studies and family. Leaving no time
to practice what they love most- Hobby.
“Hobby”, here’s how many dictionaries define it:
“A pursuit outside one's regular occupation
engaged in especially for relaxation.”
~Merriam-Webster
“An activity done
regularly in one’s leisure time for pleasure.”
~
Oxford Dictionary
“A hobby is a
regular activity or interest that is undertaken for pleasure, typically done
during one's leisure time. Examples of hobbies include collecting, creative and
artistic pursuits, making, tinkering, sports and adult education. Engaging in a
hobby can lead to acquiring substantial skill, knowledge and experience. People
also enjoy participating in competitive hobbies such as athletics, hockey,
curling, golf, bowling and tennis.
Generally speaking,
the person who engages in an activity for fun, not remuneration, is called an
amateur (or hobbyist), as distinct from a professional.”
~
Wikipedia
Of course these all suggest that a Hobby is a persuasion of
an activity apart from your professional involvement, but other few words these
highlight are: “activity done REGULARLY”, “especially for RELAXATION”, “in
one’s LEISURE time for PLEASURE” and also, “engaging in a hobby can lead to
ACQUIRING SUBSTANTIAL SKILL, KNOWLEDGE and EXPERIENCE.”
So it is important to find some time for yourself, much
regularly to indulge in what relaxes you and brings out the best in you. Giving
you time and space to bring out the suppressed side of you that waits deep down
to be heard and paid attention too.
It’s not good to keep your emotions and interests parked for
‘sometime later’ all the time, but you must keep riding on them. Hobbies give
you a new pump of excitement; they allow your subconscious to speak to you,
allowing more space for an insight and self-gratification.
