Redefining Passion
I think most people have to redefine what passion means to their life. Passion is not the way you have to do in life so you could get bucks. If only you doing something just because it will be beneficial (get money) for, it's not passion, at all.
Passion also, not something that need to be enforced to yourself.
You just love to do that for the sake of your own happiness.
It's passion when you wake up at midnight, not because you have to do it, because tomorrow is the deadline of your work. But you really have to do it because you just want to do it and love to do it.
And, we are human, we sometimes feel bored of doing something continously. Even when you realized that it's your passion, for example writing story for children. You follow your instinct to make hundreds or even thousand stories. Do you think you'll feel bored? Yes, i think. You will feel bored if you just sit and wait inspiration comes to your brain.
But, if you mix it up with anything you love, that wont be too bored
Because we, as human, we love so many things. Even when you love writing, sometimes deep in your soul, you always love travelling, or singing when rain falls down, or maybe gather with your family or friends.
It's not a mistake i think, to stop doing -that you believe it's your passion- when you feel bored, and doing other things you like, gather with people you love or trying other things you really want to do.
In the end, it will still guide you to your passion. Because passion is something you love. Something you really like. You'll never forget about something you really love easily, right?
If you just like something for being professional, it's not passion, i guess. If you do something so you can be recognized by people in society, it's also not passion.
Passion is something that you did without purpose. You just love it and you want to do it again and again and again.
Because being proffesional is not about looking cool with many books and newspapers. Its about continously doing something you love -anything.
Everyone is so special.
If you cant be like others, why you should be upset?
You are not destined to be like them. You destined to be the special pieces that match the puzzle. You dont have to be the same as everyone does.
