I find it absolutely amazing, and quite frankly i find it vexing, how few of my generation seek a passion and how many fewer follow it. The most dominate passion of the teens and young adults is having fun and living life to, what they call, the fullest. Whether "fullest" to them means drugs, alcohol, or thrills differs between person to person, but very rarely do they mean a worthwhile thing that will bring true satisfaction to their life. "Live for the moment" is a phrase I hear frequently, but what if the moment's pleasures bring me pain tomorrow?
My personal passion is music. Particularly the playing and/or writing of it. I find boundless satisfaction at perfecting a trying piece or finishing a meaningful song. Others may find their passion in acting, writing, painting, or simply helping others. No passion is of less importance or less affecting than another. Artists, doctors, and engineers all make a great contribute to society and can use their work to promote the gospel of Jesus Christ. Many people do find their passion and abandon it for a more profitable career. Most of these people later regret leaving what they love. If what you do actually interests or excites you, then how much more would you enjoy life?
Maybe I am wrong. I would like to be proven to that the majority of the youth in this fine country have passion and pursue it. It would very much interest me to see what your passion is and how you intend to pursue it. Comment below =)
