Passion is contagious

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.
