Who doesn't like a little challenge?

How To Make Money Doing What You Love
Tumblr

Hobbies are activities people take up in their leisure time. They're what separate us from our daytime jobs to do things we’re passionate about.

Often people don’t make enough time to keep up with their hobby, however it is vital to your well-being to find time every week to invest yourself in what you love doing. Use your hobby as an outlet to let out all of your stress and spawn creativity. As Miami millennials struggling with discovering alternative incomes, turning to your passions can be your best solution.

The difference between a hobby and a chore is that hobbies have the capability of bringing us peace and true satisfaction. If we’re focused on doing what we love, we take our minds off of the weight of the responsibilities we bear on our shoulders throughout the week. Once this weight has been lifted, we find ourselves at our equilibrium.

As we’re scurrying through the day, attending to our professions and family matter, we tend to lose touch with our passions. From passion stems happiness, and with happiness stems peace. To find ultimate peace, one must engulf themselves in their hobby. A stress free and happy personal environment has been said to be one of the most important factors to balancing a healthy professional life and positive attitude.

I could sit here and make a list of hobbies you can make money off of, however the point is that regardless of your hobby, with enough passion and stride, you can make profit off of anything you choose to pursue.

Imagine mornings where you don't dread the day ahead and getting up is refreshing, rather than exhausting. These are the mornings I look forward to in my future, and that's why I write.

Sure, it's difficult to actually get people to read nowadays, but who doesn't like a little challenge? It makes your reward all the more satisfying.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

sisters

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.
