Soon after posting my father went into Hospice, then passed away the end of May. I made him a priority and I’m so glad I did.

Keep trying new flavors! I’ve resumed blogging and hope to bump into many of you again across the blogosphere!
Terry Heath´s last blog ..“The Big Sleep” – Pulp Fiction for the Thinking Man

your post has shown me that ultimately its OK to enjoy many flavors in life !!!!

what a great post and what a great blog –

Deb

I wonder if that has a correlation to my life and how I approach my goals.

Alright, I may not be able to eat it all at one sitting but I am trying my usual chocolate chip and chocolate ice cream with a scoop of orange sherbet on top next time… sweet!

Dianas last blog post..I love Susan Boyle

For most of my life, I was driven, by expectations–mine, society’s, parents’, family etc. When the angst for it to be other than what it already is was given up, in that stillness, rose true passions. Then, it’s effortless, and synergies just happen!

Thanks for the insight.

Your metaphor of the ice-cream cone doesn’t really work for me – you point out that synergy happens with multiple flavours on a cone, but don’t actually demonstrate why “adult life” is like that?..

My life is not a waffle cone. It’s my life.

With all due respect, I could write an almost identical article using a petrol-tank for a metaphor, and say “if you use a mix of different fuels, petrol, diesel and lpg, you’ll destroy your engine. Cars run best on just one fuel at a time. Life is like that too.”

It can be difficult to find – and understand – our underlying aspiration. In my case, one of the ways I got to see my aspiration was in a significant and unforgettable dream.

I might write about that in my next post.

Like Andria Baldovin, a case study from Tim Ferris’ Four Hour Work Week. She knew a lot about yoga and rock-climbing, and she noticed some yoga exercises she knew were great for rock-climbers.

None of the rock-climbers knew them, because they didn’t do yoga, and no yoga folks realized the exercises would be great for rock-climbers, because they didn’t climb. Only Andria, because she knew both fields, realized how much value she could bring to rock-climbers by teaching them the simple exercises. So she created instructional DVDs, and now earns a nice living through that.

Or Brian Clark from copyblogger. He decided to join the fields of blogging and copywriting, because he noticed how useful copywriting advice could be to bloggers. He has built a massively successful blog, by teaching bloggers to create catchy headlines, and snappy interesting content, by applying copywriting principles.

So, consider not just following several passions, but COMBINING them together!
