Do what you love for at least an hour a day

It’s easy to be busy.  People are very good at entertaining themselves. Youtube, facebook, work, errands, bills, more work, planning for work etc.  When the weekend finally rolls around you just want to sleep in, go drinking.  Relax.  Watch a movie.  Whatever.  You waste kill time until Monday morning rolls around and then the viscous cycle begins all over again.  Where have you found the time to do what you love?  An hour on Tuesday night?  2 hours on the weekend?  Life is way too short doing what someone else wants you to do.  Unless you’re working at your dream job and you’re doing exactly what you love, this applies to you!  I love tea, duh, so I spend as much time as possible reading up on it, exploring it in stores, drinking it etc.

On a semi related note, when I was at Yorkdale mall today I had a chance to check out the new environmentally friendly Pistachio store.  They have a good selection of loose leaf tea and a lot of organic products. They sell Harney & Sons, David’s Tea, Republic of Tea and a few others.

Anyways back on topic, time is your most valuable resource.  Use it wisely. ?

Go confidently in the direction of your dreams

Set a goal to follow at least one of your passions this year.

To kick start my blog I’m going to quote the Chapters tote bag that caught my eye the other day.

“Go confidently in the direction of your dreams! Live the life you’ve imagined.” – Henry David Thoreau

Translation.  Get up off your ass and do what you’re passionate about!  Is your job eating away at your soul?  Quit.  Hate your life?  Change it’s direction.  Life is way too short to be spent doing something you don’t like. No dream is too big or too small.  If you really want to do something and you’re passionate about it, go for it.  Don’t let age, finances, your job, someone or anything get in your way.

I’ve been searching for years trying to figure out what to do with my life.  The first “career” I remember wanting was to be a nun.  My parents weren’t too supportive when I told them.  I know i know me a nun?  But you have to understand what I was thinking.  Free food, housing and all expenses paid travelling when helping the sick and needy abroad!  I looked deeper into this and realized that the attraction was really because I liked listening to peoples problems.  Thus eventually majoring in psychology in university.  Long story short.  After graduation I have jumped everywhere trying to figure out what to do with my life and my passion.  I worked at a law firm, I got my real estate lisence, I attempted to buy a health food store among other things and on this long zen like journey I finally to discover my passions in life.  I know it sounds cliche but I think everyone goes through this, even if only for a day.  All this soul searching cost me more than $3000+ to date.  I can’t say it was worth every penny but I can say I’ve finally discovered that I am actually very passionate about tea.  Again, I know i know.  Seriously Diana tea?  You’re such an old lady!  But what better way to listen to someones problems, ponder existential issues and relax then over a nice cup of tea.  So my goal is this.  I am going to dedicate my life to tea.  Even if I eventually leave the tea industry, I am going to become a tea connoisseur.  This blog will document my start in the tea business, my trials, my tea trips, my tribulations and my success.

Stay tuned, it’s going to be a fun ride. ♥
