What's Energizes You?
I can tell you that anyone who is going to be a part of, or already in my family, loves food and large family get-togethers. For my parents it's a way of keeping our Jewish culture alive and well. As an atheist/agnostic, deist Jew, it's just the way things are. When my sister-in-law was first introduced as my brother's girlfriend, she was inundated with family events. She didn't handle it. I view that as a passive aggressive term for getting by, but embraced everything. I am the luckiest guy in the world because I look at her with the same love as I would a sister. And, I only have a biological brother. What a champion she is!
Our family is so close to each other, and so large that I don't even bother explaining how I'm related to someone I just meet anymore. If I don't recognize someone, I just proclaim "welcome to the family." It's the truth. We make excuses to get together. Why not? If I am in the area I'll stop by someone's house. A food event party will be thrown in honor of someone. I love it!!!
So what excites you the most? Is it a group of friends, music, movies, being physically fit or perhaps something that encompasses all of those? Whatever it is, it's important to keep it in your life. Those around you will be attracted to your passions. Can you imagine people who aren't interested in anything? I recently read a study chronicling those who work hard and party hard. And evidence supports those who live in a bubble of passion. Those who do the most with the time they have succeed in their endeavors while having the most fun. Ensure you are one of those people!
