Focused on Being Happy

As someone with a great deal of creative energy flowing through me, I often find it a challenge to stay focused.  Many people have told me that I should focus on one thing, but for me that's hard because I have so many interests.  I love writing, but I also like to make jewelry and greeting cards...and I've built businesses around these interests. 

Perhaps, yes, my jewelry business would be much bigger now had I focused solely on that.  Or maybe I would have finished that ebook I've been working on for the past year had I focused just on my writing.  However, focusing on just one thing just isn't me.  I'm moody like that.  My creative moods are different from day to day. 

I think what's most important to me right now is that I just focus on the moment and be happy doing whatever it is that I'm doing.  I'm not focusing on the end product or reaching some kind of income goal - although it would be nice to be making millions a year right now! 

I've been revisiting the book, The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle.  If you've never read it, I highly recommend that you do.  More than anything in the world, what I want to be is happy...right now in this moment.  I already know that every goal will come into fruition sooner or later (hopefully sooner).  Now it's just a matter of taking the steps and enjoying the journey...and that journey is different from day to day. 

One thing I know for sure...that I am focused on being happy :)
