Doing What You Love: Baby Steps

The other day I wrote a post about Why We Love Money that diluted our need of money down to one key idea: fear. The more money we have, the less fear we have, and we often confuse that with happiness.

Anyway, I mentioned that in a perfect world I’d love to just write about baseball and the Cubs. And that I know where to start to make that happen: just write for myself, on a blog, anywhere. On my own time.

So I’m actually doing it.

A friend of mine invited me to write a couple days of the week on the Cubs Fan Report; an all things Cubs daily email. We basically scour the web for everything worth knowing (and some stuff that’s just plain fun) and pack it into a sweet daily email.

So for all you Cub fans out there, make sure to check it out.

The Point Is

The point is I’m doing something about my whiny post about wanting to write about baseball and it feels pretty damn good. It’s not the big, feature-type stuff that Bill Simmons does. But one small step at a time…something is better than nothing.

We spend a lot of time worrying about hatching these big, master plans to get what we want and 90% of the time we wind up doing nothing but daydreaming.

I’m just as guilty as anyone else. That’s why I’m proud of myself today. I’m writing about the Cubs and I’m having fun doing it. The big-picture stuff will take care of itself…for now I’m content in knowing I’ve taken a small step in the right direction.
