Primarily because at the time, six years ago, I had not found that thing that I was completely passionate about.
I did not love what I was doing and it was hard for me to understand what it would feel like to love what I do.
However; 3 years ago, I found it and I have felt so fortunate ever since.
Today, I experienced that feeling associated with, “Do what you love. Love what you do.”
The excitement of pure joy doing the work I love to do.
I sat at my kitchen table, designing templates for our upcoming podcast episodes, smiling so wide that my dog most likely thought something was wrong with me.
I felt as if I just won a jackpot, when in reality I had purchased an annual subscription to Streamyard.
I was excited because I was celebrating one of my “Firsts” in life.
I’m sure you can relate ... first time learning how to ride a bicycle ... first time learning how to drive... first time going on a date.
Well, today my “First” was learning how to host live conversations with amazing individuals from around the world.
In fact, I was so excited that I even told multiple friends, “This is the best birthday present I have ever received, yet my birthday is months away.”
Building an organization is full of ups and downs.
If today taught me anything it is to celebrate the small victories in life.
What about your journey are you celebrating today?
