Question:

How do I figure out what why hobbies are?


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:

Anything that comes out of you naturally, any creative activity that gives you satisfaction, helps you explore yourself, gives you joy, helps you to 'relax' and you never get tired of doing it ....is a hobby. You will have to discover your hobby by trying out new things and creative activities that you've never done before. It's just a matter of exploring or discovering yourself.

There are several types of hobbies, like drawing, painting, craft, clay modelling, sculpture, stamp collection, coin collection, used matchbox collection (it's weird but i know any people who do it), reading books, creative writing, etc

Few years ago - One sunday morning, when I saw the cartoon strips in the newspaper I felt like drawing similar cartoons. I tried it, I immediately got hooked, I rigorously practiced cartooning for one year, and guess what.. my cartoons suddenly became very popular among my friends and relatives... then in whole college.. and then I was hired by a newspaper and few other magazines as a freelance cartoonist. So you can also turn your hobby into a proffession. Although my field is entertainment media, I still do freelance cartooning.

Just experiment with different things and soon you'll find your hobby. Go to about.com and search for hobbies on their site.

Wish u luck. cheers
