I had a conversation today that really struck me today. I am a person who is very lost. I do not know where I am going, what my next step is, or even what I want to do with my life. The woman with whom I was speaking asked me a simple question. "Well, what is your passion?" And wouldn't you know I sat and thought for a minute and couldn't tell her anything. I don't know what I am passionate about. Does this mean I am not passionate about anything? Or have I not found it? Or will I ever find it? I like to think I am a passionate person. I am passionate about the importance of my family. I am passionate towards my friends and boyfriend. But occupationally, what could my passion be? What could I do for a living that I would do not getting paid. When I think of things I could possibly major in, I think of things I could be passionate about but how do you know? What if i get into something and don't enjoy it?
Because I couldn't come up with something I am passionate about. I started to think about the things I enjoy. I enjoy art. But how could I incorporate art with a profession that makes a substantial living? I mentioned that I enjoyed painting and such and the women responded with, "Why don't you come by my agency and hang out for a few days." She told me she and her husband had an advertising agency and a lot of artists became add designers and used their creative ability to advertise.
Personally I think this is a wonderful idea. What a more perfect way to see if I could enjoy something, putting me right in the action. And if I don't like it, well, at least i ruled it out.
Breath in for luck,
Breathe in so deep.
