It’s been awhile since I sat down in one place to share what’s happening.. Sorry for the delay but I have been out making dreams come true.. I have spent the past year becoming an Ironman, trying to get smart, riding my bike in awesome places and starting a new a new job… Oh and sleeping.. But today as I was having one of the most amazing times washing my car I wondered “what am I going to be when I grow up?”
People always say to have fun and love what you do.. So then I thought I could really make a go at this car washing business until I saw the finished project. I am not a very good car washer and never mind I didn’t know how to operate the machine or that I repeatedly got tangled in the hose. In fact I think it would be more entertaining to watch me wash a car. Unfortunately, it does not look a thing like Paris Hilton’s rendition of a car wash. So alas I do not think I have a future in the car washing industry and will look to it as more of a hobby than a profession.
Other professions I know I should stay away from and purely do for fun are pedicurist, barista, singer, and bike mechanic. I have made my best attempts in these areas but could not make a successful living and could quite possibly kill me or someone else in the process.
So what does that leave me with?? Well what I realized is that I’m doing everything I have been working towards and that while I may not do it well some days doesn’t mean I should run away because we all know how much I love running!! Life is simple for me now.. Try to find the challenges in my daily life and celebrate them when I concur them. This includes washing my car in under 4 minutes! The key however, is to not be so hard on yourself when you don’t live up to some unattainable standards. Yes my car has many many MANY spots all over it. And sure there is still a lot of dirt on the roof because time ran out too fast the point is it was so fun!
Now who wants to go for a run??
