THINGS TO REMEMBER
- You can change your mind. Often things we enjoyed when we are younger don’t hold as much interest as we get older. The secret is to find your new thing, so you always have something to keep you company and raise your spirits.
- You can have more than one passion. You might enjoy football but also love playing guitar or writing. Explore all areas as long as they make you happy.
- Grow with your passion. If you start out singing, try adding and instrument or writing your own songs.
- Be brave. Very few people are great at new things. While some people have natural talent, this is rare. All people, and who are Champions at what they do will tell you it took hours and hours of practise. So love what you choose to do and it make the 1000,s of hour of practice fun.
