"I played a lot of sports growing up. When I got to the high school level, I decided that I didn't want to anymore. That was hard to walk away from. I quit playing sports my sophomore year and joined show choir. It was a lot of fun. I recognized that it was hard for me to not play sports anymore, but It was the first time that I was able to branch off and do my own thing and do something different than what my family was doing or expecting me to do. I think that it has coming full circle in my life because my daughter just found out she didn’t make the high school soccer team and she is in this kind of funk right now. I can see that this is a potentially pivotal time in her life because I look back and see that it was for me. I got cut my 9th grade year and That gave me an opportunity to try something else and grow in a different direction. I see her in that same space." "It’s caused me to reflect on my own growth. It’s important to do your own thing and branch out, to find your passions, your place in the world. It’s important for people to be passionate about what they’re doing, whether is with your job or raising your family. If you’re not passionate about it, you’re not going to do as well. I’ve really enjoyed getting into computer programming. When I build something at work, I get excited about it. I go home and show my wife or I'll tell my boss about it, "Hey, look at this thing I just made!". I think having that passion is important. Rather than dealing with your job just because it’s a paycheck and going home and only seeing stress there. If you can find passion in it, it just brings so much more enrichment to your life." #sunrisegoal #sunrisecompanion #sunrisegoalinterview #lovestrong #findpassioninyourpurpose #makechangesnotexcuses #dosomethingtoday #emblemengravingyouridentity #enrichyourlife #wholehearted @love.strong.organization (at Mantua Resoviour) https://www.instagram.com/p/CDg8xH6FE_r/?igshid=sppecc72znre
