The One Hour Rule to follow your dreams

The One Hour Rule to follow your dreams!

Okay! To be clear, there is no One Hour Rule. I am just putting up my idea and calling it the One Hour Rule.

Almost every one of us, in our college times, had a passion to do something beyond the academics. It might be playing guitar, singing, dancing, painting, designing, writing etc. And we all had a thought at some point of time that what if I could build a career in it? But that was too damn hard and not to forget, too damn risky. We wanted to get a job, probably in a field related to our academics, get a decent salary and get settled as soon as possible.

And unfortunately, most of us did the same.

We tried to get placed anyhow, whether on-campus or off-campus. And at that point of time, being brutally honest, all we were looking for was a job with a decent salary and something that relate to our academic background.

Did we ever try to make a career out of our passion? Well, a minority of us did. And we are proud of them? But what about the others? What about those of us who are stuck in a 9-6 job? Are we done with the things that we loved to do most? Well, my one hour rule says, “You are never done with your passion.”

Here is my one hour rule. Let me tell you, it is effective.

Take one hour out of your daily routine. Just 1 hour. And do the thing. Suppose you want to dance. Use that extra hour to watch some dance tutorials on YouTube and practice them. Initially, you will love it. Why? Because you are doing something you love and it is freeing you from all your worries.

Yes, just one hour, make it two shifts of half hours, but do it. Cut yourself out from the surroundings and just dance like never before. You will love it, I can bet on that.

In a couple of weeks, you will realize that your skills have improved dramatically. Next what can you? Maybe you can use the internet to show case your dancing skills? Or maybe try to open an online dance class? Similarly if you like writing, you can open up a blog and give it a shot. We live in a world of Internet lads, use it wisely.

Another question, how to get an extra hour? Do you wake up early? No? Then do it. Wake up early, get ready, have your breakfast and then follow your passion. Maybe half hour before your job, and half hour after returning.

Just never kill that passion inside you.
