I recently read an interview in Writer’s Digest Magazine
with Cheryl Strayed, author of Torch,
Wild, and an online advice column on The Rumpus called “Dear Sugar”. When asked by Christina Katz why she took on
the no-byline, no-pay assignment of writing an ongoing advice column, Cheryl
said “…I felt sparked when I wrote that first “Sugar” column. I said yes
because it made my heart thump.”
I just love this answer! This is what is
called ‘living in your sweet spot’, knowing yourself well enough to know when
it is right to say “yes!” This is the
real trick to living every day with intention; only saying yes to the things
that ‘make our heart thump’, because it almost always means having to say “no”
to something else. So listen to your gut and fill your life with the people,
places and projects that you truly believe will add to your joy.
