Pursuing your passion
Some of the people I admire the most are the ones that have a true passion for something, they know what they are born to do and devote their life to this. Every time I see or hear about such a person, I can’t help but be amazed. Of course, the people who do those things often have to sacrifice a lot to pursue their passion, some of them can’t handle the pressure or break down. Still, there must be a great sense of satisfaction in knowing what you’re supposed to do with your life, to have something that’s your drive, your goal, your love and desire. Normally, these people don’t have room for what we call a normal life, but often they don’t want it either, they enjoy being special and unique.
Sometimes I wish I could have such a passion, something I could be sure of, knowing that this was my thing, what I was born to do. Although I can be rather passionate about the things I do, I’ve never had one specific thing that I’ve known I wanted to devote myself to completely; although music comes close, I could certainly never live without it. Other times, I’m happy that I have a normal life, that I’ve been able to have so many diverse interests and experience so many things, which has helped me mature in many ways.
Well, at least I’m still young, I do have a lot of opportunities in front of me, and a lot of things can happen. My hope is that in 10 or 20 years, I’ll be able to wake up and look forward to my day, thinking that I’m living the life I was meant to live, and that I’ve managed to fulfill my potential. For me, that’s the important thing.

Wow, this blog was quite a refresher aside from the boring “this was my day” blogs. Honestly, I feel the same way as you do. I admire those who had a passion & know what they want in life as well, and I WISH I had a specific passion that could get me somewhere along the road.
I wish I had that much dedication as those people do.

I’d like to think I’m pursuing my passions, but sometimes I feel like I yearn for a more “normal” life… like settling down, buying a house or an apartment…
But thoughts like yours make it a little easier!

Those people should be admired. I am actually kind of jealous of them, for knowing their purpose in life. I wish that I knew my purpose, and I wish that I had a passion like they do.
