On a thursday night…

*Big sigh of … satisfaction?? No, but its not a negative emotion so :)*

So we are a fortnight into 2010! 14 days into finding out how well we are going to keep to our resolutions. I must confess I have already thoroughly failed with mine and mine include having smaller, more easily attainable weekly resolutions!! Gosh. Ah well. I pray its just the laziness of being on vacation that's keeping me from achieving anything but drama.

[Side Note: Fireflies - Owl City just started playing and the resulting smile on my face with my hands up in the air whilst singing heartfully (my own word) along was a sight to see. Haha! Anyways back to what I was saying…]

Music is such an essential, sexy part of life…
Ok, no really moving on.

So recently I commented that whoever it was who said life is not a race either was no where near the back of the race or was really truly undeniably happy with ever it was they were doing with their lives and managed to learn to not care about what the world thought.
KUDOS TO YOU MY DEAR FELLOW!!
Those of us who are surrounded by people who seem to be sprinting towards some goal they have set chale…I have to go find myself some running shoes. It's the fool who keeps walking when everyone else is running who gets caught up in the coming floods.

Finally I acknowledge the fact that I am surrounded by people who KNOW (for sure) what it is that they want to be doing and are doing just that. There are the people setting up LLPs and NPOs, starting designer labels, helping kids, talking about the entertainment industry, designing ads, managing an entire company, etc, etc and I realized that what was common with all of them is the fact that they have a PASSION and LOVE for and BELIEF in whatever it is they are doing. The words are capitalized because lower case would not have done justice to the extent to which they feel these things. Each and every one of those people that I met did not consider what it was they were doing a job. Yes it was work but not a job. They shone with that passion when something had been achieved, when they saw the result of their work and realized just how good it was.

[Side Note: Ok, Seattle - Mary Mary started playing and with what I'm talking about I teared up a little… yes, yes, I'm a sap I know. :). Back to it]

I'd sit back and wonder what it is I'm doing with my life. Yes, I'm in college working towards a B.A. in Comp Sci but I know that this is not my passion, whatever it is. And I wonder: Would I ever find this passion? What if I don't? What then? Would I be doomed to wander in search of that passion squatting in the mean time in mediocre employment so I can pay my bills…???

At this point, the closest I've gotten to what I think may be me actively working on a passion is iStandAbove… The Xpect Leadership Program (check it out, there are over 600 pix!!); the slight frowns on the kids' faces as they listened intently to a presenter, the smiles when they understand something… aaahh. :D
Passion: the elixir that give your heart wings!

What is your passion?
