Your Dream Doer Mission:  Find a Way to DO What You Dream Today

Yesterday I had trouble focusing while writing my novel, so before I started writing today, I took a little time to think about what I’m passionate about and why I even enjoy writing. 

Here’s where my thoughts took me:  I am passionate about writing fiction.  When I write fiction, it’s like I can transport myself to another place and see into the minds of other people.  I get to feel what they’re feeling and hear what they’re hearing.  It’s just a fun process.

That’s what I forgot about yesterday.  The process.  I was thinking so much about what I wanted to get done that I forgot I enjoy doing the work it takes to get the results I want!

Although I didn’t start writing until 10:00pm tonight because of a busy day, I was much more focused and had much more fun writing today.  I ended up writing five pages in 37 minutes because I was passionate about what I was doing, and that helped me concentrate my complete attention on the task at hand.

So what are you passionate about?  And did you find a way to express your passion today?

To your dreams,
Bonnie Jean

  1. Hi, Bonnie! Just wanted you to know that I am so blessed to have you in my life to help me help my kids realize their dreams. I kind of “lucked” into my career (teaching, counseling, working with developmentally delayed 0-3 year olds and their families), but my girls and son are going to need direction. God really does put into us the passions that He wants us to pursue, so, truly, if you look at what you’re passionate about, you’ll never have to wonder what you’re supposed to do with your life! Thank you for your inspiration! I’m so glad to be part of your family!

    Love, Holly
    PS: I’m so proud of what you’ve done here! You certainly are pursuing your passion. You can tell!
