Fear lies of figuring out what my passion is

It could have been better to live knowing what drives your passion and what propels your vision to fruition. Depending on the circumstances of our lives, we frequently make a concerted effort to improve what needs to be improved. Aging is natural as you progress, and you will notice how much you grow from a feeble state to the current you. So, what motivates you to make a change for yourself? And I believe it stems from your passion and aspiration.

Our passion is rooted in our interests, whether they are in the arts or sciences. Some people are unaware of their passion, which can lead them to discover things outside of their comfort zone. I've been asking myself since I was a child, "What is my ultimate passion, and how can I be sure it's what it is?" Every week after that, I would try something new. Purchasing 48 beautiful colors in a pack, I splashed colors on my coloring book for a week. So, what exactly is the goal here?

The goal is to determine whether or not I enjoy coloring and painting. The more you practice and immerse yourself in it, the clearer it will be for you. A passion does not appear out of nowhere, greeting you and saying, "Hey! It's me. I'm your passion. Do you want to give me a shot? " No, it is always preferable if you broaden your interests. Don't close your eyes to things you don't understand. That, I believe, is one of the reasons why people fail to discover their own passion because they pass up too many opportunities and discoveries without even trying.

Discovering your true passion

Do you recall the day you finally met your passion? Telling yourself that this is yours to claim. This is the activity that I would like to do without getting bored. As if you're embracing the angelic presence, flapping your golden wings, and wearing the most genuine smile. That day, I thought, happened when I was 13 years old. I'm not sure when it happened, but I know where it happened. We were watching a movie with my family, it was a casual day, there was food on the table, and we were chilling like bosses. When, all of a sudden, the film "The Blind Side" taught me to pursue the first passion that comes to mind. Writing was the word that came to mind at the time.

Following that, I wrote several raw poems lacking any sort of rhyme or flowery language. I never missed writing a poem on Fridays while traveling back home. Writing began as a hobby and then evolved into a passion. A passion that I honed from the moment I realized it was meant for me. There will be no more doubts, no more putting them aside, and no turning back. I progressed from writing raw poems to writing fictional stories, with most of my characters inspired by cartoons I watched. Let's call it a child's imagination.

The relationship between passion and fear

As you discover and practice your passion, you will realize what comes next. Is this the end? Yes, my passion for writing makes me happy and improves my mood every day. When I don't write, I feel suffocated because my thoughts are fighting inside my head. You've asked me to convert them to text. It is already given when you build your passion, strengthening and sharpening it. Then you must decide what to do with your passion. Are you going to keep it for yourself? Will you put it to use to help others? Or are you going to use it to make money?

I kept asking myself what the best thing to do was, and it turned out to be blogging. When I was in senior high school, I had this vision of writing in blogging sites, publishing my fictional stories and daily blogs, and earning money from it. The money is a bonus, but it provides fuel to keep going. Others do not pursue their passion because there is no fuel to keep it burning. How come you could use it without gasoline, just like a vehicle? It would be stuck and inoperable until you added fuel.

The same holds true for passion; you are the one who will fuel it because you are the one who will use it. You may wonder what fuels I require to fuel my passion. You have many options, and mine is reading feedback from previous blogs. I filtered it and was inspired by the feedback to write another one. It will be continuous in this manner. You have no idea what will happen in the future, in the next day, week or year.

That is why I have always taught myself to experiment and discover the possibilities that lie hidden within my potential. If you haven't found your passion yet, listen to others and try new things outside of your comfort zone. Pay attention to what they say because it will give you an idea of who you are in their eyes and how they see you in the future. Alternatively, list what you have done in the past and what you haven't done. Compare the two and try them one at a time. We sometimes develop fear because we are simply afraid of the outcome. Fear develops, becomes a hindrance, and captivates you from within.

I still don't know what my passion is. As for now, I do what I have to do. I am enjoying it sure but Im still not sure if it's really it is now. I'm too busy to think anyways so I will just enjoy what I have now and maybe soon, I can make it mine too.

Most of you don't know what your passion is right now. But do you think it's not writing? I believe you love writing so much as of today and believe me, you cannot leave it hang.

Yeah, do what you think makes you happy since it's one of the most important things to have while living.

Powerful words. Indeed, how we deal with fear shows what kind of personality we have. Some use fear to propel them and not bring them down while others succumb to it.

Thanks kuya! Yeah, it's just depend on how we take care of our fear and our will to fight it is addition in the variable as well. But the important thing is you overcome and become the victor of your own game.

Oh, I understand that ate. Perhaps there is just chaos on your mind on how to deal with it. At your age, I think you have one before but eventually suppressed by unprecedented situation in your life. It's not too late to work on it though.

Perhaps one of those things are your passion, you'd never know, right? But it's a good thing that you know what brightens your day to avoid stress and negativities.

Really? You haven't figured out what's your true passion ate? Gosh! I thought you know already since it's very evident in your blogs and such.

Sometimes when you don't know things, you just need to go with the flow and wait for the outcome of our actions. Break a leg ate!

My passion is singing but it never materialized. Back then when I am singing some karaoke songs, I figured out that I am tone deaf and can't hit the right notes. Soooo as an alternative I tried speech choir and monologues I am enjoying doing stuff, recording and creating scripts but since there's no money involved I did not pursue it that much. I still do some on the side if time permits but that is something that I do love.

Tell stories ( in Tagalog) and record everything.

Oh, that's new to me. Tone deaf is quite a problem when you'd like to pursue singing because it's very important to listen. Yeah, I see you are happy doing podcast and I'm so happy for you kuya. You might not know, in the future, you'll get a chance to be a singer once again.

We sometimes develop fear because we are simply afraid of the outcome.

This.^ I know what my passion is, but the built uncertainties of being too anxious of what will be the outcomes often becomes the obstacle for me to keep going.

Right, what's your passion ate? Writing too? But if you continue to become anxious about pursuing it, nothing good will happen though. You're tough woman, and I see you someone who overcome obstacles in life. Try it again.

Finding your passion may be hard at first but as time goes by you can find it for sure. One of my passion is cooking. I loved discovering nee foods also..
Same here Den, it seems that I'm irritated and can't breathe everytime I can't write a sentence more.
