So here you are browsing the Inter-webs looking for something to keep you busy. Maybe you’re at work or in school, or at home. You have about 15 min to 2 hours worth of free time and figured why not look at some stuff to read. You come across this article and are reading this sentence right now. So, what’s supposed to happen? I’m asking the same question.
Let’s look at it this way. We are here today because our parents made love and decided to have us. Their passion to be with each other conceived and brought to the world a life, ours. So what are we supposed to do now? What are you supposed to do? Some people have that figured out already. They have their passions and their goals aligned and they’re good to go. Others may not be that lucky. Others may have really wanted to be a celebrity or a lady’s man and because of their less than stellar gene pool, have been forced to relinquish their dreams and work a minimum wage job. Or maybe they have an academic goal that seems too far away because there’s no money to pay for it. It could be a disability or even just an innate shyness that prevents them from going for what they truly desire in life. How then, are they supposed to find their way?
I’m not here to tell you I have the answers. I myself am figuring it all out. Like you, I don’t have a road map of where I’m supposed to be in the next year, heck in the next month, so I’m just winging it. There is however something that’s guiding me, albeit I’m still too blind to really see anything. What’s guiding me are my passions. My passions are the beacons of hope and joy that keep the fear at bay long enough to reach out and touch the world. It hasn’t gotten me wealth and power, or even a lot of success, but it has brought me to a point in my life where I’m proud of what I’ve accomplished.
Passions are after all our fingerprint in the world. They are what we leave behind when our life has passed. It’s up to you choose whether to leave a deep, longlasting print, or one that fades in the wind. Sure life hasn’t exactly been easy, but we survived it, we left something behind, even if it’s just our name. Now we should leave more. We’re alive you know. We’re breathing, we’re conscious, and we have a chance to really help the world, the people we love, and ourselves. I come to ask the question again. What’s supposed to happen now? The answer is, anything you want. Just make sure to choose with your passions in mind. They are what define you, what stays behind after all the chaos, all the pain.
Good luck!
