Pursue your passions from "summary" of A Short Guide to a Happy Life by Anna Quindlen

If you are like me, you probably have a list of things you have always wanted to do, whether it's learning a new language, picking up a musical instrument, or traveling to a foreign country. These are the things that light a fire within us, the things that make us feel truly alive. In a world that constantly bombards us with distractions and obligations, it can be easy to push our passions to the side in favor of more "practical" pursuits. We tell ourselves that we will get to them eventually, that there will always be time in the future. But the truth is, time is fleeting, and if we don't make the effort to pursue our passions now, we may never get the chance. Anna Quindlen reminds us that life is short, and that we owe it to ourselves to make the most of it. She urges us to stop making excuses and to start living the life we have always dreamed of. Whether it's writing a novel, starting a business, or simply spending more time with our loved ones, we should not let fear or doubt hold us back. Quindlen acknowledges that pursuing our passions can be scary. It requires us to step out of our comfort zones and take risks. But she also emphasizes that it is worth it. When we follow our hearts and do what makes us truly happy, we are living authentically. We are living a life that is meaningful and fulfilling. So, the next time you find yourself putting off your passions, remember that life is too short to wait. Take the first step towards your dreams, no matter how small it may be. And remember, it is never too late to start living the life you have always wanted.
