Passion.

Why do people ignore what makes their heart sing?

Often people persue lives of mediocrity and they don't do what makes them happy. They just go with what is most practical, in the hope that later on, they'll find their way...

The most dangerous risk of all is the risk of spending your life not doing what you want in the hope that you can buy yourself the freedom to do it later. It seldom works out and before you know it, you've been stuck at the same old boring 9-5 for 30 years about to retire when since you were young, you'd always wanted to be a sky diver, an astronut or those smaller dreams like a teacher or an accountant. If it's fated it will happen, and if not, you'll learn from it- it's part of your life purpose.

It's the same with people, there might be someone you really want to talk to or something you really wanted to say and you let fear and anxiety get in the way and you do nothing. One of my very good friends that I have now, I was actually too afraid to talk to her at first but it turns out we get on super well and they're one of the best people in my life! It's the same with saying things, how many times have you sat in class and been too afraid to say the answer, then someone says what you were thinking and gets praised for it, and you sit there kicking yourself. Or that person you always wished you told how you felt. Don't let anything pass  you by, sieze every opportunity as nothing lasts forever. Follow your gut, if it feels right, you are on the right path.

NOTHING is unobtainable. Determination and hard work will get you everywhere... (and in certain places, being sychophantic to the right people) but eitherway nothing comes easily- I think we all know that. But if you want it strongly enough, if the passion truly burns in your heart, you'll work for it and you'll try hard and if not, you'll find an excuse. As 50 cent said "Work hard or die trying" - Well actually, I'm not even sure if that was him... Come to think of it, why on earth am I able to quote 50 cent?! But that's besides the point... At least TRY for what you want or you'll regret it and you only have one life so why the hell are you going to waste it sitting around waiting for the world to change? You have to be the change you want to see in the world and most importantly in yourself.

You might not know exactly what you want to do with your life, and that's okay. Just as long as you do whatever makes you HAPPY, and you do what makes you smile. Always work to be the best version of yourself and don't place your happiness in anyone. Be able to stand on your own two feet and instead of placing your happiness on one person or a group of people, share in it with them!

Carpe Diem! ;-)
