We already know that fishing teaches us lessons about our selves and the world around us that transcend the mere accomplishment of landing fish. Fishing can provide more than just a positive ‘work/life balance’ — it can teach us the virtues necessary to find happiness both on and off the water. The blog post “Finding Passion on the Fly” (from Think Brilliant Media Studios) takes a moment to analyze the parallels between fly-fishing lessons and a satisfying professional life.
The key is passion.
Nothing’s worth our time unless we’re enjoying ourselves, right? Perhaps that’s a tad extreme, but passion, patience and an open mind are a few of the fundamental characteristics that lead to triumph in any activity. The lessons put forth in the article are logical, yet incredibly poignant. It’s worth taking a step back to appreciate the values instilled through fishing — and the successes they’re capable of leading to.
Also, we would be remiss for not pointing out the fabulous photo the article uses was taken by our friend Rich Schaaff.
