I JUST WANTED TO WRITE A POST AND REMIND YOU ALL OF THE POWER OF PASSION.

A STRONG AND BARELY CONTROLLABLE EMOTION.

I JUST GOOGLED THE DEFINITION, AND IT’S SPOT ON WITH HOW I FEEL ABOUT THIS WORD.

EVERYTHING YOU DO IN LIFE SHOULD BE DRIVEN BY PASSION. AND I MEAN EVERYTHING!

TRAVEL IS ONE OF MY PASSIONS, BUT THE OTHER IS PERFORMING. I LOVE TO ACT, SING AND MOSTLY DANCE.

THIS AFTERNOON I GOT SOME VERY UNFORTUNATE NEWS. THE MUSICAL THAT I HAD BEEN PRACTICING FOR ALL WINTER BREAK…WAS CANCELLED.

I THINK I’M STILL IN SHOCK, ALTHOUGH I CAN FEEL A DEEP SADNESS GROWING INSIDE OF ME. A STRONG AND BARELY CONTROLLABLE SADNESS.

I WAS ONLY AN ENSEMBLE DANCER, BUT PERFORMING IS SO MUCH MORE TO ME THAN JUST WHAT ROLE I GET. IT’S THE POWER IT GIVES ME TO BREAK AWAY FROM MY SHELL AND LIVE.

SIMILARLY, TRAVEL DOES THE SAME, AND WHEN I CAN’T TRAVEL I HAVE A STRONG AND ALMOST UNCONTROLLABLE SADNESS ABOUT IT.

PASSION HAS A LOT TO DO WITH HOW WE LIVE OUR LIVES NOW AND HOW WE CAN LIVE THEM IN THE FUTURE. WE NEED TO DO EVERYTHING IN OUR POWER TO FOLLOW THESE PASSIONS AND COMMIT OURSELVES TO THEM.

I ENCOURAGE YOU TO LISTEN TO YOUR HEART AND FOLLOW YOUR PASSIONS. YOU’LL BE GLAD YOU DID.

WHAT ARE YOU PASSIONATE ABOUT?
