“What we do upon some great occasion will probably depend on what we already are; and what we are will be the result of previous years of self-discipline.”
- H.P.Liddon
I believe within each of us there is an undying passion for something, if not a few things, in life. I also believe these are the subjects that once harnessed, can change a persons work...to play. However, for many, we are raised to be 'this' or 'that' because of 'this' or 'that', with no regards to the inner voice. Decisions made on practicality, and perhaps even worldliness, tend to bring incomplete happiness in the long run. To turn one's back on a passion so deeply instilled is to turn ones back on a happiness not otherwise felt, and even a successful, perhaps lucrative future.
People are so quick to judge a successful person. I believe behind every success is a story of setbacks, failures, self-discipline, determination, passion, and a relentless desire to stay the course, and reach their goals. Instead of judging, I suggest looking at their ways. Learn from them, and perhaps pattern some of the things in your own life if it's a good fit with your goals and desired outcome.
Health!
