In this context, we define “enjoying” as truly engaging in something we like to do. Whether it’s our passion or hobby, by truly enjoying what we are doing, we are productively engaging in our work. Taking pleasure in doing our work really makes us feel like we’re not working at all. Instead, we focus on the actual product, service or brand we’re working on and do our best to improve it.

Some of us may have different feelings towards our creative process or how to turn ideas into reality. Throughout most of our lives we are often told what to do, where to be and how to do it. On the other hand, when we create something from scratch, we are the boss and employee. It is up to us to motivate ourselves and complete the job. So how are we suppose to enjoy this process, when we have so much work to do? This is where are passion comes in. When we are truly passionate about a product, service or brand the process becomes enjoyable. Yes, there will be a few annoyances and monotonous tasks, but for the most part, we are doing what we want to do.

When we do what we love, we open ourselves up to even more opportunities. These same opportunities may not have existed, if it wasn’t for our initial attempt. Timing is also an important factor, but I’ve always believed “what’s meant to be will be.” When we make a whole-hearted effort to follow our passion, it almost feels like everything comes together and the tools we need are revealed. I’m not saying this happens every time, but the probability grows when we enjoy what we do.

Taking that first step in “Optimizing our life” is often intimidating. We are putting something we believe in, into action and letting go of any prior reservations. The more we practice these actions, the more comfortable we become in our creative process. As our confidence grows, we begin to embrace our ideas fully and are excited to try them out. Similar to adomino effect, once we put our ideas in motion, the rest falls into place.
