Then i realized that i had gathered enough money for a few months travelling so i quit my job and after 6 months i ended up in mexico where i found my passion... scuba diving. I ended up doing an instructor course that lasted 3 months in mexico and i stayed in mexico traveling for 3 years and working has dive instructor, last year i was in egypt and this year i am back home still working as a dive instructor, i really like my job. of course like all jobs there's up's and down's but still i wouldn't trade for any other thing... i still have time hobbies, like surfing and even snowboarding, so it's true that you can turn a hobbie into a job and still enjoy it! Follow your instinct and never let anyone decide what's good for you... only you can know that even if everybody disagrees... it's better to regret what we've done, then regret what we left to do! good vibes to all of you! be happy!

Anyway, I really like your ideas here, and I'm going to finally turn around some of the probing questions I like to ask people on myself! In short, Thanks. Alex Hey Leo,

Just found this post on your site while googling around and trying to figure out how to brand a new blog about balancing lifestyle with a job you care about in the post-college years.

Anyway, I really like your ideas here, and I’m going to finally turn around some of the probing questions I like to ask people on myself!

In short, Thanks.

Personally, I've never learned how to be idle and don't imagine doing "nothing." I like to fill my time with pursuits that enrich myself and others. Writing, gardening, cooking, conversing, meditation, whatever seems most appropriate at a given time. I would encourage everyone to step back, reflect and do what it takes to savor every moment. After all, living and learning at our own pace is what living life to the fullest is all about. I laughed at the title of this post.

Dare I say that if everyone followed your advice this world would be a much better place. Can you imagine everyone enjoying both their 9-5 AND their 5-9? I think this IS possible. Your seven step process is thorough and well thought out. As someone who LOVES her life, I am excited to say that it's possible to do so, even at age 29. What are we waiting for? Great article, Leo.
