I called my mother every night crying and I was turning away perfectly good full time jobs. Why? Because I was affraid. I was sure that I would pick the wrong one and get on the wrong train heading to the wrong future. My mother begged me:
- Please, take a job, any job. You're not going to be stuck, you are stuck now! You don't create your life first, and then live it. You create it by living it, not by agonizing about it.
She is right. She is always right.
Passion is not a job, a sport or a hobby. It is the full force of your attention and energy you give to whatever is right in front of you. And if you are so busy looking for this passion you can miss opportunities that change your life. You can also miss out on a great love. Because that is what happens when you have tunnel vision trying to find the One.We all think that we know the kind of person we are and the kind of person we could love. But sometimes we are wrong. Blissfully wrong.
And sometimes you don't know what are you going to do next, right? I mean I don't. I love not knowing what I am going to be doing five years from now or I will be into. And that's okay, it's okay not to know. And you know why? Because the most fulfilling relationships, the most fulfilling carreers are those that still have the power to surprise you.
