I mentioned the word passion on my previous post.
What is passion?
I believe passion is
the essence of any kind of art. In my writing life passion is the intense
desire to create something with words. It is attached to discipline. Discipline
is what helps you to attain your goals.
My main goal is to read
and write something meaningful. Let me be clear on this: my passion is not to convince people to read
what I write.
Working on your
creative passion brightens the shore of your island. It invites you to see the
world through refreshed eyes.
I also believe that
being passionate is about being sensitive. Our societies may mock sensitivity
and there is a general trend to believe that being sensitive means being weak.
I disagree.
Being sensitive makes
you stronger. Being sensitive is about feeling the world under your skin. This
does not make you weak. It makes you more compassionate and mindful, and it
invites you to expand in different directions and to embrace the bittersweet
side of life.
Being passionate
encourages you to create ripples that will reach the shore of other islands and
universes.
Working on your
creative passion makes you feel the heat of spring amid the winter; it brings
you a cool breeze in the summer. It’s like holding onto a raft in the turbulent
waters of life.
Working on your creative passion enables you to
grow flowers in the desert and it infuses you with the resilience of a weed
that survives a drought. Your passionate creativity transports you to diverse
settings and will enhance your own identity by pouring over you a different
one.
There’s a time to
feel sad and a time to feel happy, and the pain of different situations opens
up bridges and highways to other souls. You need your solitude just as you need
your time to share a part of yourself with others.
Being passionate is
what allows you to appreciate the beauty around you and to celebrate each second of your life because being sensitive is
about being alive. (If you can’t feel pain, you are not as alive as you think
you are).
Being passionate is
about conjuring up a world of possibilities under the rocks that you encounter
in your journey. Working on your passion is like being inhabited by a
population of birds in the core of your being. You watch the birds fly away in
different directions, and you feel the bliss of knowing that a part of you exists in those birds while your feet are happily dancing on the ground.
