A big part of reaching your dreams is finding a way to
incorporate your passions into your day-to-day life. We all feel like there are
not enough hours in the day but honestly…
You have the same amount of hours in a day as Beyoncé!
I took this into consideration and went searching for a way
to embrace my passions and to find the time. I discovered I AM THAT GIRL: a community, a support system, and a movement inspiring girls to LOVE, EXPRESS,
and BE who they are. This nonprofit’s mission was exactly my own. It seemed
like the perfect organization for me to get involved with while I am filling in
my weak spots for my business venture. So
I took the next step and created a local chapter, I AM THAT GIRL: North Orange County. I have created a safe place for myself and others to be exactly who
they want to be without judgment. The best part is that I can use my passion to
fuel our meetings and I get to schedule the meetings around my time. I have
found an outlet that is flexible and can absolutely fit into my every-day life .
Now that I have I AM THAT GIRL, my day-to-day feels like I’m living a DREAM!
So how do you find your outlet?
- Fly Solo
Pick up your local newspaper or
visit their website and search for events related to your passion. You can also
find events in the local magazines, coffee shops and smoothie spots always have
those. Once you have found an event, mark your calendar and tell all your
friends and family that you’re busy. You need to attend this event ALONE. Going
by yourself means distraction free and you can be yourself without worrying
what your friends might think. Also, you don’t have to worry about not making any
new friends because you already know you have something in common!
- #Hashtag
Use Facebook, Twitter, and
Instagram to search hashtags related to your passions. You’ll find events and
people all over who love what you love. Instagram is a huge marketing tool
these days so you can find events, books, movies, stores, anything you can
imagine. (I discovered IATG on Instagram from a hashtag that Sophia Bush always
used). Twitter is also a great place for people to voice their opinion and
share news; this can help you find current events happening NOW that you can
get involved in! Social media is great for voicing your opinion and sharing
your passions with people all over the world, so look for them!
Once you have found this new network of people, so many
doors will open. You’ll find new information to devour and new ways to directly
get involved. Your day-to-day lifestyle will change once you surround yourself
with people who share the same passion.
It’s all about who you know, right?!
Leave a comment below and let me know what hashtags you
searched? Maybe I can guess what your passions are!
