"Get interested in something. Shake yourself awake. Develop a hobby. Let the winds of enthusiasm sweep through you. Live today with gusto."
Dale Carnegie
As a coach, I found the following article on the importance of hobbies to be an important one.
You see, many of us are stuck in careers that make little sense, feel bonded and caged in some ways, depleted of energy with no real career change plan.
And here is where hobbies can sometimes save the day because it gives the individual a creative outlet where the career has not.
We are living in a day and age where the choice of hobbies is so great that one can get stressed out just by having to choose, so knowing how to choose a hobby is also important.
On the other hand it is not what hobby that one chooses that really counts, in my opinion, but how serious, persevering and involved one gets in it- the more the better, taking all other "life stuff" into consideration.
So, guys….if you have a good hobby, good for you- keep it up! And if you are not there yet---go for it! It can make the difference between a life full of meaning and a life spent "waiting for Godot"….
