"What is your passion?"
"Pursue your passion!"
"Work for something that you're passionate about."
I don't know what my passion is. I just never felt like I ever found something that I can refer as passion. I don't even know how to exactly define passion... Is finding your passion a must for everyone? Is it really necessary for anyone to have one? Is passion worth it? Or is it overrated? Is it going to come to you? Or are you going to seek for it?
I don't know.
I always thought of passion as something that is career related. You know, like opening that cool coffee shop that you've always wanted because you're so passionate about coffee. Or inventing come awesome app that helps save lives because you're so passionate about technology. If that's the case, well I think I haven't found my passion yet. I have a lot of interest. A lot. I like many things.
I like movies, music, and technology. IT is so awesome but HR allows you to connect with people. Business are challenging but I just like the dynamics of marketing works. You know... Stuffs like that. Everything is cool but I can't pick a one that is the coolest and make that my passion.
I do have a dream though. A goal. An aspiration. Probably, a purpose?
I want to help people. I want to be able to inspire them.
I want to help all the of the needy in this world. Make their life easier. At the very least, they should be able to have a full stomach everyday and work to earn enough money.
Probably, there are a lot of way for me to realize this dream.
I like watching movies. I like it when movies gave you hope. I like it when movies made you cruise through a series of emotion. I like it when movies allowed you to forget about your life for a while. You could just pretend that you were the characters and have a different life. If I were a successful actress, I can both inspire people and help the needy with my fortune. I can make my dream comes true!
But, hey! I admired how much technology can impact the world. I can be the next Bill Gates! Then, I can use my fortune to help all the kids in Africa. Or, I can fund research to find the cure to cancer! Can I invent a machine that turn pollution into clean, fresh air? Maybe I can stop climate change and reverse the effects of it?
But... I don't think I'm good enough for all those. When I wasn't really feeling it sometimes, I just want to be a good person. No fortune to give away. No life-changing speeches. Just a life well lived. Having people to talk to. Having enough money and being grateful for every single penny. Knowing that being myself is enough. Loving myself despite all the flaws. Having all the little things in life that can and should be appreciated for.
