A few of my hats. A year-end review appeared in my feed. Go ahead and click. It’s a short read that informs today’s post.
I wear many hats — one for beekeeping, one for parenting, and many for land use (which I view as the same as social justice). I got rid of a few hats, which meets my goal in “The cut.” However, one hat in particular got bigger, and I like it. (I was also asked to consider two new hats [aka jobs] in the past month. I declined.)
I asked my mom what she thought about me dropping some activities and expanding others. I thought she was going to say something practical like, “Will you make money?” but instead, she asked, “Would you enjoy it?”
Wow! Am I having fun? How could I have neglected fun? Of course fun needs to be included in my criteria! So now my list looks like:
- tangible impact on my immediate world
- impact to last for the next seven generations
- potential for personal growth
- at least three of the circles in the graphic from last month
- little to no energy vampires
- organizational support/structure
- fun/enjoyment
