There are so many times in life that we find something that
we are passionate about, but there are always people that tell us that we can’t do it. Sometimes, we actually listen to them. We need to tune out the people who aren’t supportive of our dreams and turn the disappointment into a fight to show everyone what we are made of and prove that we can go do anything that we want.
As we know from previous tragedies is that life is so short. If you are going to give in and stop doing what makes you happy then you will never be fully happy. You might think that putting an end to a hobby because you don’t think it will get you anywhere is no big deal, but then one day you wake up and you realize that life has come and gone and you have nothing to show for it except for schedules and routines that make life boring.
I think that we need to stop with the bad thoughts and start doing what makes us thrive and enjoy life. If you like to dance, then learn a new dance or teach a dance class. If you like music, then play an instrument, write a song, or anything in between. If you love kids, then pursue becoming a teacher. Who cares about the lack of money? It should be all about being with kids, teaching them to be respectful and teaching them to be passionate like we are. If you are crazy busy and you feel like you never have time to yourself then take some time to find something that you enjoy because without the enjoyment then you are just being held back to a standstill existence.
If you are at a point where you have no idea what you want to do, then take all the time you need and figure it out. I have always loved writing, but I never knew what to do with it, so I decided to start writing for The Odyssey every week.
If you aren't sure about what you're truly passionate about, then make a list of what you like or a bucket list and find a pattern. You can even try many different things until you find the right niche. Once you find what makes you and only you happy, then see if you can make a career out of it so that way you are doing something that you love all the time.
Life should be what you make of it because it is your life and no one else’s. You must do what is the best for yourself and if people aren’t supportive or think it will never work then prove them wrong or ignore them. Your true family, friends, loved ones will be supportive no matter what.
One last thing: the only person whose support should matter is yourself.
