Reading, writing, exercising and cooking are on my list. In reality, I have not done any of those to my satisfaction. When I cook, I'd like to read. When I read, I'd like to clean the house. I even wish I can do all the things I like simultaneously and this leads to anxiety. I have to tell myself do one thing at one time and enjoy it when you do it. I also need accept there are things I will not be able to do it as good as a pro. Either because I don't have the talent or I don't have time and strong motivation I thought I had.

This article helps me to define and think what I really want to do. Thank you!

You just described me in your comment above! lol I also have reading, writing, exercising, and cooking (and many others) on my list but I can tell you - exercise is the thing always gets pushed out. We were suppose to make taking care of ourselves the priority! I guess we need to do better :).

BTW, we don't need "talent" to do any of the things we want to do, as long as we enjoy doing them.
