Classes start tomorrow and I am starting to study today. Though
been doing a bit of it here and there when not sleeping lately. Update I passed
inspection. Still working on getting Moriah on the lease but it is seeing
progress. So, time to hit the books once again. I am looking forward to it once
more, and aiming to do better than last term by far. I know it might be difficult
since I have a doctor this term for one of my classes, but he seems laid back
overall. He is one of those teachers that inspires greatness in his students if
that makes sense.
He asked an interesting question that got me thinking for
the blog today. Basically, it was what happens when inspiration is different
from aspirations and expectations? I told him sometimes expectations have to be
broken and aspirations have to be made bigger. We all come to Earth to learn
more is my main belief. So, why not take advantage of every chance you have?
You should follow those things you are passionate about and learn as much as
you can about them.
You are made to be passionate about them for a reason. It
is not chance at all that you are made passionate about them. If it was then
there would be people who were passionate about things that couldn’t explain
why they were passionate about them. Yet, there are people passionate about
things all over the world that know why they are passionate about things.
Something higher than us gives us that passion and it is up to us to choose to
listen or ignore it. To me the smart thing is to listen to it and study about
that passion and make a living from it.
I am inspired everyday by friends and colleagues I see
living their lives around their passions. I see them living happier lives them
someone doing a 9 to 5 just for the paycheck. When you do something, you are
passionate about you are happier and tend to do it better as well as excel at
it. After all you were meant to do it. You might not become a millionaire but
you will live comfortably. And, from what I can see in a less stressful manner
as well.
I know every parent wants that star athlete or doctor or
lawyer or even astronaut. But, ask yourself what is your kid really passionate
about. Let them do pursue that. They will thank you down the road even as they
still need reassurance at times possibly. I know I still do from my parents at
times. They applaud me for going to college and doing what I want to do even as
they are uncertain at times. I guess it does help that I have been published
already in a couple of anthologies. Yes, a little bragging there.
