"Guest-blogger Judith Whitehead lives in Amherst N.Y. and has worked in the
ophthalmology field of medicine for over 30 years...Today she refers to a popular YouTube video
about the old phrase, "money can't buy happiness...(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=86ZRnQmmbuY) Enjoy... |
WHAT DO YOU DO WITH YOUR LIFE
Watching the video posted on u tube on doing what you like for a living made me stop and think. How many of us really do just that…not very many? (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=86ZRnQmmbuY)
I will say that my son lives by that mantra and sticks to it. He put his desires out into the universe and his dreams came back to him. The other day he said to me, ‘where can I work and do what I like all day long, I am the luckiest guy around’.
Three years ago he packed up his car with what it could hold and left for Los Angeles in hopes of finding something he liked to do to make a living. Multi talented with music, recording, refinishing instruments he knew that would be the place if any in the U.S. to find his nitch …and he did just that.
Networking and making connections, renting space in a house and hunting for something that would make him happy. With a lot of luck and perseverance he found just that. Working in a well known music store for one of the most progressive businesses out there he began to share his craft with the world.
He spends most of his day refurbishing beautiful instruments he is called a 'Luthier,' which is a craft from way back. Self taught and diligent in his craft, he turns out some of the most beautiful work and turns an ugly duck into a swan. People are amazed at his talents and he is happy every day; for him the money was second and the love of the craft was first. It is true, if you do what you like the money will follow and it did just that.
Again the video Judy is referring to; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=86ZRnQmmbuY

| The best thing a company can do is say they're going out of business, look at all the free press Hostess has had. I haven't bought a Twinkie in 50 years and did so because of all the press! I believe they will soon tell everyone April Fools! |

That's exactly how I have lived my life, i was a professional photographer for 35 years, I did it out of love, the money followed.
via Youtube video," The hardest thing - and it remains hard - is to understand the money will come. Even after almost 10 years of self employment, during which I've never advertised, and during which I've always made "enough" money, I still stress over where the next dollar will come from. But I don't give in when it gets tight - I just carry on, and the money comes. Not rich, not poor, just enough, month after month, as long as I'm doing something positive."
