Passion


        Throughout the world there are people who have a certain passions for living. Everyone's passion may differ, but we all have the same goal in life. We all eternally want to be happy, but because we notice what truly makes us happy, sometimes the smartest route out. Sometimes I tend to think about what I enjoy doing versus what I can make good money doing. Some of the things I enjoy doing is singing and doing make-up. In a world that I could chose to do what truly makes me happy everyday I would chose to always do make-up on myself and others, and I would sing all day everyday. 

        It is very difficult to connect your passions with your career most of the time. It becomes very hard to connect the two because sometimes they are two very different things that cannot come together. For example, doing make-up for others can be very oppositional from teaching. However, in one small way they do connect. If I mastered how to do make-up I could also learn how to teach it to others. I could become a make-up instructor. Furthermore, with singing I could possibly do the same. However, I do feel as though singing connects with my career more than doing make-up does. I could become a music teacher for children and teaching would relate to my career path because I would still be able to work with younger people and help them master their craft.
        I would love to work with children for the rest of my life.However, I believe that if I had to provide a service it would appeal more to adults when it comes to the make-up aspect. It would benefit the community because it would allow women or even men to feel beautiful. I could also teach them, so that they could be able to provide the same things for themselves. It would be very beneficial for them because they would be able to now feel glamorous and share what they learned with others as well. They would be able to know what it is like to get pampered. They would get to live out a glamorous day that normal hard working people hardly get to experience. I cannot come up with a specific cause that I would take part of, but I know that I would want to motivate people and make people feel better about themselves.

  1. Janely,

    This is such a great post - since you answer your own questions. Ah, the power of writing! By the time you pose this question to yourself, and type a little further... you come up with some very great solutions to tying your passions into a sustainable job options. Your career may include several of these elements. Teaching people how to look beautiful is a very lucrative industry, if you work hard and be creative.

    Teaching is a theme that keeps popping up. Maybe you will teach music or voice lessons. There are lots of options with the examples you provided here (to yourself).

    You have several options here, with your varying interests, but there's a theme. Start to think about which should become a job and which can be a side gig, a volunteer thing, or a fun hobby that you develop.

    This is a very well-written journal. I'm glad to see you writing such quality pieces this late in the game.

    As for your poem - it's amazing. I think this is one of my favorite poems of the semester. The creative... spill into the other words-type of flow is very creative and innovative. It looks like and reads like good street art, or a good advertisement. Very inventive play with the text. It's visual, and it flows... ending with a question. Very nice touch.

    Excellent work this week. Insightful. Artful. Innovative.
