Whether you already have one or more hobbies or none you think you may have, this is a good time to let out your inner creative self come out whether it be in the form of Music, Art, Cooking, Writing or Designing.
They say necessity is the mother of invention and if that’s true, then what better time is there to create something that’ll make your fellow human beings smile?
Check it, most of us work easily 8 to 16 hours a day, whether that may be at one or more jobs. Add to that the responsibilities we have to our families, and you can pretty much see why most of us have very little or no time to ourselves.
If you are an employee of a “Non-Essential” business, you’re at home quarantining in order to help stop the spread of Covid-19, am I right? If so, what are you doing with some of that time? If you’re watching Soap Operas or Jerry Springer re-runs, is that the best way to get your ideas out on paper and act on them? No, not really. So…
What is that one thing you slay in that no one knows about, perhaps a talent you haven’t really explored? Are you a great cook that can improvise on a recipe like no one’s business? Are you an artist who can draw something you see in your mind? Do you play any instruments, or dabble in music production? Do you love coding, but don’t think you’re good enough to get a job in that field? Do you have a creative mind but never considered starting a blog or writing a book and possibly connect to readers in ways no one has??
Whatever it is, bring it to the light, because it may be that one thing no one thought about! You probably think outside the box and don’t even know it! This is the time to open that teeny tiny box you placed that skill in and let it blow up! You won’t know unless you unleash it and the only way to do that is to do it!
So what is that one thing you’re really good at and how does it apply to what’s going on right now? People are out of work, they may have family or friends in the hospital. How can your one thing help them get through it all? If you can make sense of all that and bring it together, unleash it. Who knows, this could be the break you deserved; something you could do that’ll result in a full-time paying gig.
In the beginning of this blog, I started out with an adage, so let me end with another one. Do what you love and you’ll never work a day in your life. That’s it. Take this opportunity and make the best of it with how you can take that one thing and apply to what we’re going through. And if you don’t know how to combine the two, then find someone who’s able to see it and partner up! Remember, if life gives you lemons, find the person who was given tequila and partner up!
