Week 5- Follow Your Bliss

I have really enjoyed reading the Mastery Book so far. It is clear to see how in order to have the kind of drive to “master” something you have to really, truly, deeply enjoy it. When he talks about his Aikido practice as being so calming and enjoyable that he can do one move over and over and over for hours, it is clear to see his passion for it. I can see how to be an effective Entrepreneur you would have to have that passion and that drive for mastery in your company.
     It has really made me think about what I do that I have that amount of passion for. What would I do as an Entrepreneur that would bring me that much joy and fulfillment? What would I be so excited to be doing that I wouldn’t mind the tedious or monotonous parts of?
     In my whole life, besides being a mother and wife and the joy that my family brings me, the only thing I could do for HOURS on end and feel completely satisfied with has been dancing. It’s the only thing that I’ve found that amount of peace in as George Leonard describes while practicing his Aikido.

     I’ve never thought of myself as an entrepreneur and I’ve never had that desire. But after this week I can see that my ‘big dream’ is where my focus should be and I can see the entrepreneur spirit in trying to get that started. I feel really good about wanting to start that in my area and not for the fame or money, like the videos mentioned, but because it would bring me happiness and joy.
