Always follow your bliss

If there is one advice I've never fail to give my kids it's to follow their passions. I guess I've done the same too, and most of the time, often at great material and emotional costs, but as Cat Stevens puts it in his beautiful song “Father and Son,” I can now say that “...I'm old, but I'm happy...” And the situation continues for me.

I'm still devoting most of my energy into pursuits that keep me excited at night and consume me totally during the day. As I was saying this morning at breakfast to my spouse, “doing things we love never feels like work” and it is so true. So, as we are about to finish a short month, my advice to anyone willing to listen to me still holds: Listen to your heart, no matter what!
