DAY 191 (Passion...)
The moment you join a junior school...people want to know what do you want to become. Since then till you become an independent person, they keep poking you with the same question. You might change your answer in different stages considering what is "cool" and what is not..but then you know your passion deep there..don't you?
Most of the time it happens that you keep it inside you to wait for the time when you are "settled enough" to make it come true. But can you define your scale of settlement?
Passion is something that needs a zeal to begin with. Then why do everyone (including me) want to pursue it in the last stages of our life. When everything else has given up then you are just surviving with your settlement trying to do what you could never do the rest of your life!!!
You murder yourself daily by doing everything that was never in your plan. You kill your passion and stab it every damn day when you get yourself ass-kicked in that little cube of yours where the computer flickers day and night without fail and is ready to gobble you up everytime you switch it on.
You have a passion. Then plan for it...and plan for it before you plan for your walking stick or wheel chair or blood pressure and diabetes medicines. Coz it is going to replace all of this. Its like a magic wound or in more practical terms...say a life insurance policy which gives you return even before you die and rests your soul in peace after you are embraced in heaven!
Don't let it go away....nurture your passion...and make it more than a dream!!

I feel that this depends on which kind of society or environment you are living in and most importantly if your family supports you to let you live your passion irrespective of what society will say. We always bother about "log kya kahenge" with out knowing those log..before going for our inner most passion.
ReplyDeleteThats what my point is...why do you depend on anyone else? Follow your path and find your own way out. Environment can always be created. If you decide to follow the trail ..then that is another story. In the worst case, once you have achieved the degree that your parents wanted you to earn so much..atleast start after that!! But DO NOT wait till you are about to die!
