Do Over...Part 4

Find your passion. There are a lot of things in this world that want to grab your attention. It’s good to try out new things; it’s also good to continue doing things that have already been done before. Passion is something that makes your heart stop beating. Passion is something that doesn't feel like work it just feels like you are fulfilling something that nothing else could fill. One of those things might be something that you don’t even realize is your passion because it is something that is completely and totally different from who you thought yourself to be. Maybe you are an athlete whose passion is actually in music. Or maybe you are the star of all the school plays but really you get a lot of joy out of going out to the tennis courts and hitting a ball back and forth.

Life is too short not to do the things that make you the most happy! Don’t waste time doing things that you find no joy in at all. God created us to shine brightly and use the gifts that he has given us. But how will we know what those gifts are unless we go out there and try! Our passions are sometimes hidden behind those things that are obligations in our lives. Now I’m not saying neglect these obligations to have a fun-filled life. Of course there are things that you have to do even when you don’t want to do them and other things that you have to do that might actually be fun. I am saying to take time and explore yourself. You might find something that is your true passion in life. Wouldn't it be a shame if you went through life without finding out what truly and honestly makes you happy? Go out there and try…before you get to the point where you are wishing for a do-over J
