Whatever they can dream up to excite their senses, make them laugh or be challenged physically and/or mentally has a way of turning into a regular habit. There are those who create new ways to make them giggle like being the first one to jump out of an airplane with a piece of cloth strapped to their back and those who can't wait to do what they just saw someone else do. Hobbies are an escape from the life that people are forced to lead and while some get lost in the mental challenge of chess, others are not content until they have climbed the highest mountain or driven the fastest car. You will never get to know someone until you look into their sole and find out what they do for fun. People also get to know themselves and improve their lives along with their self through the leisure activities that they pursue. When you're alone on the golf course, do you move your ball a few inches out from behind a tree and not count the stroke? Do you take a card out of the deck to enable you to win at Solitaire? Do you savor the par and the victory or feel the emptiness of ill gotten success? After you learn these lessons, will you choose to live with the guilt of getting ahead by getting someone fired or to feel the satisfaction from knowing that you were better and more deserving? Is it OK with you if you hit a few wrong notes when you are playing the piano alone? Will you carry this desire to do things right into your profession? The rewards that people receive from their fun are chosen as a result of personal need and as individual as the activities that they choose. Do you need to feel the silent superiority from a winning game of tic-tac-toe or the shared glory as you and your team mates show each other the hockey trophy that you all just won? Do you need to feel the excitement and danger from popping a wheelie on your motorcycle or the peace and sedation from watching your tropical fish swim around? Sometimes, money and circumstances cause hobbies to be substituted for ones that people would really like to pursue. People who would like to be flying real planes will settle for model planes along with their imaginations. People who find themselves suddenly wheel chair bound will settle for playing NFL football on an XBox. The irony is that they spend their lives wishing while never realizing that they have accomplished a lot more with their imaginations than they ever would have in real life and not feeling the full reward for what they have accomplished. Whatever you choose, don't forget that one person's honey is another person's poison and all hobbies serve their purpose equally based on the characteristics of the people pursuing them. Don't let someone tell you that their's is better than yours when you may be realizing more personal gain than they ever will. Don't let someone else select your hobby for you. Search your sole and you will find it there. Don't forget to have fun.
