Play Hard

As a kid, I remember when I’d hear the doorbell ring and I’d get so excited. My step-mom would answer and I’d hear, “Can Travis come out to play?”

To play meant to have fun and having fun makes you happy. Going out to play meant “I’m out! I’m going to be happy somewhere else!”

And when you find that thing that makes you feel like your own unique self, pour yourself into it. The harder you play, the happier you’ll be.

If you like to be happy, find something that makes you happy. There’s only one caveat. You have to love it.

Go play.

Inspiration is everything!

The sad part about hobbies is only a lucky few parlay their passion to career status. For the rest of us, a hobby remains…a hobby. And one we barely do, if ever.

We carry on in whatever existence we allow to continue. We cushion ourselves safely within acceptable amounts of negativity, fueling hatred of the current situation instead of creating a situation to love.

It’s only a viscous cycle until things go haywire and a downward spiral isn’t anything anyone wants to deal with.

The great part about hobbies is they make you happy and they inspire us to be better – to improve. There’s a fantastic satisfaction in creating something even if it’s a complete mess.

It took 15 years of business ownership, a year of of torment, and two more gaining perspective – in the desert – for me to finally walk into an art store.

I’m currently testing a new business idea simply inspired by spreading love, positive expressions, smiles, and impactful memories.

So far, so good! I’m even more excited after the feedback I’ve received! I’m working diligently toward a goal, at which time I will share more information.
