I’ve been thinking lately that it is of the utmost importance to have passions in your life. As a matter of fact, I don’t know how people exist without at least one passion that keeps them going.
I think most people accomplish this by finding someone that they are passionate about. The problem with this is that this type of passion can run out and cannot sustain your life’s passions. I think it’s more important to find something that you are passionate about because it gives you something to continuously build on and love throughout your life. Something to define you and motivate you. Something that can make you feel important and whole. Something that can be forever while people are not.
That thing might just start out as a hobby or interest and then it becomes a goal until finally, you might be able to turn it into a career or something more permanent.
It’s important because when you live pursuing your passion, you act from your heart. It is what can truly make you happy and fulfill you from the inside out. People believe you when you’re passionate about something and you can make an impact in their lives. If you find and pursue your passions, then everything else will fall into place and you can do great things. That has to be what our purpose is in this life. It can’t be
to just live. Can it?
Don’t ask yourself what the world needs; ask yourself what makes you come alive.? And then go and do that because what the world needs is people who have come alive. ~Attributed to Howard Thurman
