It could have been better to live knowing what drives your passion and what propels your vision to fruition. Depending on the circumstances of our lives, we frequently make a concerted effort to improve what needs to be improved. Aging is natural as you progress, and you will notice how much you grow from a feeble state to the current you. So, what motivates you to make a change for yourself? And I believe it stems from your passion and aspiration.
Our passion is rooted in our interests, whether they are in the arts or sciences. Some people are unaware of their passion, which can lead them to discover things outside of their comfort zone. I've been asking myself since I was a child, "What is my ultimate passion, and how can I be sure it's what it is?" Every week after that, I would try something new. Purchasing 48 beautiful colors in a pack, I splashed colors on my coloring book for a week. So, what exactly is the goal here?
The goal is to determine whether or not I enjoy coloring and painting. The more you practice and immerse yourself in it, the clearer it will be for you. A passion does not appear out of nowhere, greeting you and saying, "Hey! It's me. I'm your passion. Do you want to give me a shot? " No, it is always preferable if you broaden your interests. Don't close your eyes to things you don't understand. That, I believe, is one of the reasons why people fail to discover their own passion because they pass up too many opportunities and discoveries without even trying.
Discovering your true passion
Do you recall the day you finally met your passion? Telling yourself that this is yours to claim. This is the activity that I would like to do without getting bored. As if you're embracing the angelic presence, flapping your golden wings, and wearing the most genuine smile. That day, I thought, happened when I was 13 years old. I'm not sure when it happened, but I know where it happened. We were watching a movie with my family, it was a casual day, there was food on the table, and we were chilling like bosses. When, all of a sudden, the film "The Blind Side" taught me to pursue the first passion that comes to mind. Writing was the word that came to mind at the time.
Following that, I wrote several raw poems lacking any sort of rhyme or flowery language. I never missed writing a poem on Fridays while traveling back home. Writing began as a hobby and then evolved into a passion. A passion that I honed from the moment I realized it was meant for me. There will be no more doubts, no more putting them aside, and no turning back. I progressed from writing raw poems to writing fictional stories, with most of my characters inspired by cartoons I watched. Let's call it a child's imagination.
The relationship between passion and fear
As you discover and practice your passion, you will realize what comes next. Is this the end? Yes, my passion for writing makes me happy and improves my mood every day. When I don't write, I feel suffocated because my thoughts are fighting inside my head. You've asked me to convert them to text. It is already given when you build your passion, strengthening and sharpening it. Then you must decide what to do with your passion. Are you going to keep it for yourself? Will you put it to use to help others? Or are you going to use it to make money?
I kept asking myself what the best thing to do was, and it turned out to be blogging. When I was in senior high school, I had this vision of writing in blogging sites, publishing my fictional stories and daily blogs, and earning money from it. The money is a bonus, but it provides fuel to keep going. Others do not pursue their passion because there is no fuel to keep it burning. How come you could use it without gasoline, just like a vehicle? It would be stuck and inoperable until you added fuel.
The same holds true for passion; you are the one who will fuel it because you are the one who will use it. You may wonder what fuels I require to fuel my passion. You have many options, and mine is reading feedback from previous blogs. I filtered it and was inspired by the feedback to write another one. It will be continuous in this manner. You have no idea what will happen in the future, in the next day, week or year.
That is why I have always taught myself to experiment and discover the possibilities that lie hidden within my potential. If you haven't found your passion yet, listen to others and try new things outside of your comfort zone. Pay attention to what they say because it will give you an idea of who you are in their eyes and how they see you in the future. Alternatively, list what you have done in the past and what you haven't done. Compare the two and try them one at a time. We sometimes develop fear because we are simply afraid of the outcome. Fear develops, becomes a hindrance, and captivates you from within.
