Finding Passion at
Age 50
While watching a video, “Passion vs. Money” by Guy Kawasaki, Garage Technology Ventures (http://ecorner.stanford.edu/videos/269/Passion-vs-Money), I found myself wondering, what am I am passionate about? As we get older, cross off bucket list items, and find ourselves in the grind of providing for our family, I think we can lose our sense of adventure and passion. How do we get it back? What if we never had much to begin with? Is starting another business something I could be passionate about? What about continuing my education past a bachelor’s degree? What about serving a mission with my wife. These are all some of my over 50 goals. But sometimes I wonder whether these are goals I can be passionate about. What have I been excited about in the last 10 years? Building a treehouse was great.

Truth
Another theme this week
was being true. I really appreciated the strong testimony of President Hinckley
when he said, “The truths of this gospel are everlasting and eternal.
Philosophies change. Customs change. Culture changes. But with all of these
changes, there are gospel fundamentals that have never changed and never will
change.” (https://www.lds.org/general-conference/1996/04/stand-true-and-faithful?lang=eng)
When all else seems mixed up, dark, and disturbing in the world around us we
have the truths of the gospel of Jesus Christ to hold to that are firm and reliable.
