DEFINE (YOU)R INTERIOR

WHAT'S YOUR PASSION PROJECT?

By Cristy Maria Montoya

When I look back on my life, both the highs and the lows, I remember all of the experiences that have shaped me. I would not have become the person I am today if I did not persevere through ongoing challenges and changes.

Working on a passion project is one of the ways I overcome personal creative challenges. From creating a women's platform, running a marathon, giving back to the community, or even moving to multiple cities to pursue my dreams. I firmly believe that a passion project builds character from the inside out and creates purpose in your life. Passion projects are also great ways to discover new skills and talents that you may have never knew you had! They will help you define your dreams and embrace the rewards that come from your inner passions.

The journey to create a passion project is never easy, especially during these times of uncertainty. However, I encourage you to keep pursuing your dreams while we shelter in place! There is no better time to work on you than now. To stay motivated and consistent in achieving your passion project you are pursuing.

With all things, there is a process to where you want to go. Listed below are some mental notes that I follow to keep me on track when I pursue something new. I hope this helps you start a passion project of your own that you have been dreaming of or fuel one that you are currently working on!

Remember fueling your passion will define (you)r interior.
