I thought I would
share with you the things that I am passionate about.
I am passionate
about decorating. I love decorating my home. I love creating
something beautiful out of chaos (not that my home is ever chaotic).
I also like helping
people.
In the past, I was
fortunate that I got paid for doing what I love, which is decorating and
helping people. As a professional visual merchandiser and business
advisor, I advised gift shop owners on what to buy that will sell well and I
helped them to display their stock. This required the skill of developing
an overall plan for displaying the items bought from different suppliers and
then displaying them properly so that they look inviting to the passers-by.
I was trained as a
graphic artist and art teacher. I am a person who sees everything in
terms of shapes, colours, tones and like to see everything in balance.
Many retail gift
and homeware store owners can do with the services of a skilled merchandiser to
lay out their merchandise and create a pleasing space for customers to browse
and perhaps imagine what their house might look like with the items on display.
We all possess
different skills and talents, some people are mathematically and/or musically
minded and can easily work out measurements. Others are creative and very
good at making things. They become woodworkers, designers or painters.
Some have great imaginations and may become inventors or writers.
WHAT IS YOUR PASSION?
If you don’t know, you need to find your passion. It may be hidden deep within, under layers of living a life determined by others.
You need to
discover your passion, believe in yourself and perhaps go on to help others
discover their passion.
What is your passion? Why not tell us in the comments below?
