Passion Translates to Others Like Nothing Else

Leave a Comment

People are always saying you should follow your passion.  It sounds great, but can be difficult for people to do.  However, when you get to talk to someone who has succeeded, you really get what they are talking about. For instance, I got to spend a couple hours with Patti Boyert over at Boyert’s Garden Center.  I just have to say – WOW.  I am not a gardener, much to my mother’s chagrin. It isn’t that I can’t grow things, I just don’t know because I don’t want to. I don’t care about it!  So talking to Patti, who loves it, is fascinating for me  because she truly does.

I don’t generally admit this in public, but I am a computer gamer.  Yes – ultimate geek, I know. But that’s okay. There are many interesting things about the game, but this week I attended our Chamber meeting and the speaker was talking about motivation.  I started to think about things and the motivations to do things in game.  Now normally with a game you have the motivation to “win”, to accomplish tasks, and to do things with your friends.  When I first started playing this game, characters had the option to buy or find pets – strange little creatures that would hang out with you and really served no purpose other than be there.  One of my friends and I loved the pets and collected as many as we could store.  My husband did too. Come to find out, so did a lot of […] Continue reading
