We all once were kids, we all once had hobbies and interests. As we grow older we slowly seem to lose them one by one. They fall by the wayside, work crowds them out, our families crowd them out, and soon we find we have no hobbies (sorry watching TV doesn’t count).
We think we are growing more mature as we outgrow our hobbies, that we are leaving behind childish behaviors. In reality we are becoming less interesting and boring people.
We need to reawaken the things that once brought us life. No I’m not saying go bust out your Barbies or GI Joes, but take those interests and apply them to your life now. Did you love painting? Go get a canvas and have at it, did you love building tree-forts, get some plans and build a piece of furniture.
Don’t let your passions die, you need them.
