Hello! This is my first ever blog thank you for taking some time to read it. I'm very new at this and I hope you can relate or like my blog. It's just me thinking and figuring out life.
One day I went for a walk with my friend in the evening, and we were talking about how we have changed over the period of time. As we turned around the corner of the street, we saw a healthy girl jogging and she was running there for about 45mins now. And the only thing that came to my mind was “ How? How is she doing that?? Why can't I do it? I would love to lose some weight”. “You need to be focused, motivated and PASSIONATE for that”. My friend said sarcastically. And it hit me, once there was a time when I used to be a sports enthusiast. Where did it go? I used to play 3 sports daily and dance classes on weekends. Like we used to sneak in the school early in the morning at weekends just to practice more. Like I got so excited while just talking about old times. I remember how I used to wait for kabbadi practice after school, followed by handball practice and then volleyball practice. I remember how much fun I used to have when I used to bunk classes with my teammates by telling them we have sports practice and matches are coming up. We used to celebrate small victories, with ice creams. For big victories, we used to force our captains to treat the whole team. It was all fun until I became the captain. Where did that passion go? I keep thinking that why I am not passionate about sports anymore? As time passed I explored a lot of things. I remembered how I used to say that I'll be a wildlife photographer. I did some wildlife photography in Gir and took a few good photographs of wild animals and yes, they were really good.
Does that mean my passion shifted from sports to photography? Is it really a passion, has it shifted in the first place?
Or it wasn't my passion at all and I just thought it was. Can we be passionate about multiple things? Or can passion change as we explore new things? Maybe there is no right or wrong about it?
Sometimes I think that whatever I am doing right now is what makes me happy. Whatever I am doing now is all I want to do, with all my heart. I think I'm taking the right effort in the right direction at a given time. Yes, I have a lot of questions but I'm getting there. I think passion is what you would love to do with full heart and effort at a given time.
I hope you love what you do and be passionate about it.
I would love to hear about your stories, about how you found your passion.
Stay safe, thank you.
