Passion is something we all need to strive. Without it our lives lack meaning. We can have purpose. But purpose alone does not fulfill us. We have to be passionate about our purpose. With so many people having issues with others that have no desire to be a part of the functional part of life, it's because they lack passion. I can't blame them. Like the singer said, it's all been done before. Or at least that's what they think. We're raised to assume a role. In school we're taught the same things in masses. But in order to discover greatness you have to be different and think different.
In many ways I never had a chance to realize this. I'm not here to complain and blame, I hope I'm past that in my short life. I had kids at a young age. Before I could realize what I am capable of. I see others that were maybe probably nurtured and allowed to develop individuality. Others just did it against all of the odds. Even though they were brought in environments where they should have quit, instead they still thrive. I'm not disappointed in what I've become. I've already reached levels I never thought were possible. Even at 39 years old I have already accomplished more than I ever knew was a possibility. But I don't want this to be about me. I'm only trying to explain that we can't blame people for what they don't know. This life is a journey and we must travel alone. Each of us has a mission we are here to accomplish. Although it's very likely we'll never know what it is, we all have an opportunity to achieve it.
I do know that with passion and purpose I have found that I can't imagine not searching for my meaning. The reason why I'm here. Although at times I run low on energy, knowing that I can possibly find that lightning in a bottle moment drives me. I don't know when or if I found it but I know that if I could motivate one person to know it's possible then I've done what I can. Don't get me wrong. I've had to fake it till I make it many times. Convincing myself that i'm passionate about something just to motivate myself. Only to find that I had the drive within me all along.
I believe everything happens for a reason. I believe that having kids early was a subconscious decision I made. It sparked me. Without it I don't know if I would have made anything of myself. But looking in their Eyes? I know I have no choice but to get out there and work to thrive. And I can honestly say I wouldn't have it any other way.

Hillary for President?
How can you vote for Hillary?
The Presidency should be reserved for the highest of high in achievements. To be selected you should have had to done exceedingly well in your career and life. So why are so many people considering Hillary when this does not describe her at all? Don't get me wrong, she has done well in her life. But what has she done so great to deserve the United States of America's highest honor? Let me see if I can point out a few of the reasons and then explain why the reAson is laughable.
The first reason and biggest reason is because people in America seem to enjoy rooting for firsts. Hillary would be the first woman president in America and so I believe millions of women want to vote for her just because she's a woman. To me that's so sexist and insecure of women. Women should wait for a real female candidate instead of voting for the wrong one. If missions of men vote for a man specifically because he is a man that would be considered sexist. But when women do it it's considered feminism. In my opinion that's the only reason women could be considering Hillary for president. She has not exceeded at any part of her career. Not only has she not exceeded but controversy has also followed her.
People are also voting foe her because of the success of Bill Clinton. It's absolutely absurd to vote for her because of the perceived success of her husband. Bill was a cool president but I would argue against his success as president as well. It's a different subject but I will note his embarrassing scandal of Monica Lewinski. As well as allowing to give loans to millions of people without having to actually prove their income. Directly causing the housing crash of 2008. Add to that he was also part of the Whitewater scandal. What he was is lucky. He was fortunate and lucky to be the president during the beginning of a new age and industry of computers. So voting for Hillary because of Bill is ridiculous.
I will look directly at her barely positive career. Eight years as the first lady hardly qualifies as experience. Especially since that was another point of continued controversy in her life and career. Although no charges were brought against her Whitewater continues to be a questionable part of her past. After her term as senator she was elected Secretary of State. Once again she was part of controversy. In my opinion her lack of regard to confidential information alone should disqualify her. She sent thousands of confidential emails through her personal email account endangering thousands of lives. Including the Benghazi deaths. She then completely lied about the entire situation under oath. Their is video on Youtube of her lying about sending emails and laughing about it. This shows her lack of integrity and how little she values the average American.
On top of that is the Clinton foundation. Once again Hillary is part of a controversy. Now it is with her and her husband's foundation. Although she has not been charged with anything yet the Clinton foundation is another example of why Clinton not only does not deserve to become president but why she can't even be trusted as an official. Of the 140 million dollars the foundation received in pledges in 2013 only 9.4 million went to direct aid. The foundation is treated more like a slush fund for The Clinton family and friends than as an actual non-profit. The Clinton foundation and Hillary herself is currently under investigation by the FBI. There are numerous examples of a minimum of conflict of interest with her foundation and her time as secretary of state.
I'm not advocating for Hillary Clinton to do jail time or that she has not been successful. I'm only saying that she has done nothing to deserve being appointed to the highest honor the United States has to offer. There is a saying "where there is smoke there's fire". It is completely naive to think that with all of this controversy that has followed Clinton that she is not responsible for some part of it. In my opinion for all of these people to continue to support her for president just shows the lack of integrity missions of Americans also have. To support someone of Hillary's character shows the lack of knowledge many Americans have for not only the political process but also for being informed of reality. America already has integrity issues when it comes to politics, let's not make that even worse by electing Hillary Clinton as President. Our citizens deserve to have a leader that embodies what represents us as a nation. That's not a person who refuses to acknowledge any responsibility in any of her wrongdoings. While also lying about her involvement in any of them. Benghazi just being one example of how she failed not only the American people but innocent people who lost their lives.
