What's your passion in this life?

     Passion, is somewhat like determination. What I mean, if you have passion for something or someone it's kind of like determination. You'll do anything for it. My passion in my life is to live it to the fullest. I want to make my mark on this world. Kind of like the famous people we hear about, the inventors, and writers, and innovators. Everything we do, is either one step closer to what we imagine our lives to be like. 

     Remember when you were little. Everyone would ask you what you wanted to be when you grew up. You would answer astronaut, police officer, or even princess. It wasn't till you were really able to comprehend what you were being asked til later on when you were in middle school and even high school. For many years, I could never answer the question. I didn't know what I wanted to do with my life. I mean, I had plenty of ideas. Like culinary chef, being in the Navy, Writer, Massage therapist, stay at home mom. Yeah, I wasn't really interested in my future, I wanted to be a kid for the rest of my life. To bad life didn't agree with me. Growing up, is probably the hardest thing for teens. Some teens have a plan and stick to it, kudos to you that had that plan. For some other teens, it wasn't like that. I'm not saying they lack the passion for the future. Maybe they didn't know what they wanted to do, or had issues in their life that clouded them. 

     I'm in the category of not really knowing. From the career choices I listed up above, I would flip flop from choice to choice. It wasn't til August of last year that I really came up with the decision to become a journalist. I sat down and really thinked it out. What is the one thing I love to do most? Write. I mean, that's why I started this blog. To show my true feelings about certain aspects in my life or in yours that we don't really like to touch base with daily. 

     I have the passion to become a journalist. It's fun to be able to sit down and express the words that you feel. Passion to become a person who can give the wisdom that I have learned and am still learning to this day and hopefully change someone's thoughts or give them insight. That's what makes me happy. 

     Passion is what you make it. You can have an abundance of passion, or the lack of passion. It's your life..  I'm not here to sit and judge you, because I am not perfect. I guess what I'm trying to say is.. Life is to short to not make the best of it. 

The Power Of Time

     Time, endless amounts of time that never change in your life. Time is the one monumental thing in our life that never changes. You can spend your time doing plenty of things: sleeping, eating, thinking, dreaming, achieving, etc. " Spend your time wisely" is a common phrase heard by a bunch of people. Could be your mom, brother, coworker, anyone you know or don't know. Time is a precious thing we have though. Every minute of every hour of every day we spend doing things and getting farther and farther in life. ( Age wise )
     How do you spend your time? Positive things, or negative things?  For the longest time, I spent my days sitting back being depressed and really not myself because I let change get to me. I wasted that precious time not doing something that could benefit me. Time I can't get back, but I can make those necessary changes to not waste my time on things that I know I can't change. Now, I want you to think of one thing that you might waste your time on, it could be anything from playing an excess of video games ( which is not bad at times), to sleeping more than you should. What could you be doing to get one step further in your life?
     All the time you'll hear about people moaning and groaning about how they wish they could change their lives, but when they actually get to be alone they revert back to the same person they were. Why is that? I believe that being human you do things that are normal for you. An example for me, whenever i'm really bored I get on Facebook all the time. Instead, I could be taking a walk; writing a friend; looking for a job; or getting my life organized. Do I do that? No, because in my mind I do things that are normal for me. I'm not saying being normal is bad; it's rather good than being nothing. Which in some cases people believe that they're nothing. I was in that position for a long time, believing that I was a nobody. Till I met 2 friends that meant something to me, they weren't like normal friends, they made me feel wanted. They still do today. I'll be forever grateful to them. But see, I wasted time that I could have been doing things to make myself happy.
      My challenge to you is to not waste your time on something that won't help you out. Now I know we all make our decisions based on our heart and our mind. So you can do this if you want. I guess what i'm trying to say is that time on this earth is very precious. So make it all that you want. :)

Lesson learned..

We've all been through learning lessons throughout our lives. Some had few to learn, while others had plenty to learn. It doesn't make us any different. It actually makes us human. As being the one in the category of plenty to learn, it's been tough. I believe the fact that i'm also stubborn my have a key factor in that, in any case it just means that I've learned a lot. We should take into account that everyday we learn something that can either help us or hurt us. Memories of those lessons will be with us forever. Everyday is a new day, so in all reality we have a clean start to make it memorable or the day we dread the most. So my advice to you.. Make the best of it! <3
