SUCCESS FREAKS #82 – “VOODOO WHAT YOU LOVE”

by

In this day & age of 10ish% Unemployment, who can afford to “do what you love”?  I say, in this day & age of depression, who can afford not to do what you love!?  But…what do “voodoo” and “doing what you love” have in common?  Nothing really…It’s a play on words.  A catchy title.     But, there is a little bit of magic that comes along with “doing what you love”…        not only magic, it even requires at least a mustard seed’s worth of faith.

 

In this episode of Success Freaks, your Voodoo-Hoodoo Comedic Motivational show hosts, Mordant & McFall, tell us what it took for them to get out there and do what they love.  By doing what you love, you are living your life.  By doing what you love, you are loving yourself enough to do what makes you happy.  Do what you love and you’ll put some of that magic you had as a kid back in your life.  That magical feeling you had when you could be anything you wanted.  Back when life was fun and full of possibility…and…it’s going to take a lot of Faith to do it.

Your steps to Voodoo What You Love

1.   Realize that you are responsible for your own happiness.

2.   Choose your destiny – or at least a destination.

3.    Create a Roadmap

4.    Layout actionable steps

5.    Carpe Vida – Seize your life
