Find and Follow Your Passion

I want to start this article with a few words from a very famous artist,

"Ah good taste! What a dreadful thing! Taste is the enemy of creativeness."
— Picasso, Pablo

He painted as he did and did not allow the opinions of others to influence him.

In his children’s book, Vaughn, the former first baseman of the Boston Red Sox and American League’s MVP in 1995, encourages children to be responsible for their own choices and actions and to follow their dreams. He cites his own life as an example, demonstrating to his readers the importance of being resilient, strong and focused in the road to achieving his dreams.

I can probably pull out another million such examples of individuals maintaining their focus when their surrounding would drain most others of their motivation. In most cases, the cornerstone has been their passion.

Everything you do, do it with passion and love. Never loose your focus. Whether it be starting a new diet program or working out after a long lay off. Passion keeps your energy flowing and allows your mind to maintain its clarity and focus. This in turn keeps your spirits high and obstacles surmountable.

For example, my passion is cooking. This not only allows me to maintain my own diet but also helps me to provide my clients with delicious and healthy meals.

Another example, my friend, a designer by day, replenishes his creative juices by getting his hands into clay or marzipan. The results are what you see above

Everyone can find a passion. So never give up and always keep God in the first row of your life!
