I'm 87% positive that that is the correct spelling of epiphany so that's pretty cool. Anyway, I thought that I would write a quick little something before I go out for a little karaoke at McDonagh's in beautiful downtown Keyport.
As it turns out, today I had an epiphany (obviously). And as I sit hear listening to Journey's Open Arms on Pandora (that's right...I don't have iTunes and I'm okay with that) I would like to share this with my group of loyal followers. During a presentation this afternoon by one of our esteemed interns at Princeton Partners on social media, I came to the conclusion that I am truly not passionate about really anything. As horrible as that sounds, I can explain. You know how you probably know people who are passionate about sports and politics and social media? Well while I am interested in all of these things, particularly sports, I don't sit around and read statistics all day or go to my favorite team's websites to see who they signed or what so and so did in college and why he might suck in the NFL. I'm just not into that. I don't know if it's because I maybe don't like reading on my computer or if I get sick of looking at the computer after an entire day of it, but it's just not my thing.
The one thing I do know is that I love to help other people figure out what they love...or just make people smile in what is probably 'just another day at work' for them. I'm sure some of you, and I won't name names, are thinking that that is incredibly silly and in no way can that be translated into a career. Well here's what I have to say to you: SUCK IT! I'm gonna make it happen!
So any advice you can give me on making this career of mine happen - I am all eyes. For the time being, I will continue doing what I also love -- writing this blog. Thank you again to all of my loyal readers. I hope in some small way, I make your day every day that I write something (because I know at times...those days are few and far between).
I'm gonna go sing The Outfield's Your Love to a group of strangers. Rock on!

I think it's great that you had this epiphany and that you are set on getting there. Now that you know what you want, go get it! And don't let anyone stop you from making it happen!
ReplyDeleteBTW, as an aside, I love how you provide a link to every single thing you talk about. If I didn't know better, I would think you were getting kickbacks for mentioning these things in your blog.
P.S. - I love Coke. www.coca-cola.com
