"The most important thing is being passionate about what you're doing and always give it your all. That is the key to success" - Charlie White
You may hear everyday "Be passionate in what you do." Being passionate in who you are goes a long way, being passionate within your work is very different. Determination is key to keep striving towards who your trying to be. Most of us don't know our own passion because we feel as if we will not accomplish, we hold ourselves back fearing the unknown. Trust me, I know. Years ago, I started writing and doing poetry. Then, I stopped. Feeling as if nobody would notice my passion. I had given up on my desires and dreams in who I dreamed to be. I gave up those dreams because I had not realized the meaning of passion in one's self. Later, the realization of what passion truthfully was arose to the surface. Passion is not about how others view you, or how others think about your work. It's all about what you think. Passion has no requirements to constantly reminding myself "don't stop ". My purpose and passion are found. Realizing what I was put here for, I began pursing my passion towards writing and poetry. Always reminding myself I'm NOT a failure. Upon the appreciation of accepting my gifts, I planned and stayed committed to my work, I didn't care if nobody read my blogs. I didn't care how others thought of me. My concern was in pursuing what I loved and it stuck with me. When you are passionate about your work it should be something that's meaningful, that makes us feel complete and elevates us. Take pride in everything you do! Stop worrying about whether or not you will not get enough recognition, enjoy the fulfillment. If you love it, Do it. You don't need validation. Do what makes you happy and what comforts you. Take passion in your work! When your passionate in your work you start to feel more satisfied and less stressed when doing it. Not only your mind, but your body feels more relaxed. Your willing to put in extra efforts which makes you go beyond what's actually needed by you. Until an individual finds their passion, I recommend staying committed and be prepared for whatever lies ahead. Keep going! Press forward! Refuse to quit! Reach deep!

There are many ethnological acts that are going on in today's society that not many of us speak on because they are a afraid, their afraid to say how they feel so they shut themselves in a closed door. I was always told "a closed mouth doesn't get fed", so why not speak on what I feel because we are entitled to our own opinions. Unfortunately, we live in a world where we're depicted by our skin color, sexuality, appearances, or how we dress. Why not just a "human-being" with out any labels attached? Racism is a big deal in today's society and has been for many years and it's only getting worst. Innocent human beings didn't get a say so on what skin color their going to be. This world was not created for a bunch of uncivilized human beings to start wars between each other, this world was "supposed" to be founded on equalities and opportunities. Instead, some of us face many hurdles because of who we are, and the depiction of our skin tones. I used to question myself like "Why are people so hateful towards each other race?" When we all could really educate each other with so much history within ourselves. One thing I've found out is that people take on views from the people around us, or they only hang around people associated within their ethnicity because they hear all these harsh things about other races and they've grown to dislike us/them. I mean its nothing wrong with the fact people want to hang with someone who has the same interest as them, culture, background, etc. What makes it wrong is because they feel like their better than everybody. They set up indifferences between each other and they feel like some one owes them something. The toddlers, elementary kids in school don't know the difference. They play with all the kids on the playground, to them it doesn't matter. You know why? We are all the same in their eyes. Why take a innocent child and brainwash their minds into all these bad thoughts, that makes them feel hatred and they look at the world differently. Racism plays a extreme role in today's society. I myself, disparage racism with a passion. I have come to learn that we create dislike based upon fear of our differences. You take the lives of a innocent female or male and make them feel as if they have nothing to live for. We ask why so many mass murders? well let me tell you, that is exactly how large we can manifest taught hatred! You have every reason to live, love, and learn from any individual! Don't stop your goals or accomplishments for the ignorance of another individual to tell you, "you won't be anything" because you will be everything. You are loved, appreciated, worthy and so much more. Keep being you and keep loving the skin you are in even if everyone hates it. I LOVE IT! Then, you look at the way others dress or physical appearances. We feel as if we're obligated to make others feel comfort, laughter, or joy. It is the very opposite. We must teach others that respect is not a compromise. We criticize for just about every thing they do. Rather it's your style of dressing, your indifferences within yourself towards others, etc. We all try to find happiness for others so we tend to switch up our looks, friends, views. We are actually hiding the fact of who you are. So we try to change our differences as an individual. Stop trying to change yourself or hide yourself because someone doesn't like it, well forget them. They don't have to like you as a person! It's all about YOU liking yourself as a person, let them talk about you but don't let them disrespect who you are. It's your skin: live in it, laugh in it, be unapologetic it's who you want to be. Quit trying to live for someone else and start living for you. Today, I'm still learning how to live for myself. But what I have learned is me being indifferent is okay, expanding looks/styles is okay. Embracing who I am as a person is okay. So be okay with those people who tell you "your ugly", "your weird", "your incomplete" and any other word they try to use to belittle you. Don't be okay with diminishing yourself. You were born for a purpose, and that purpose wasn't to be criticized for what you are. You were born to create, to be different, to be appreciated and if not by anyone else, to be appreciated by yourself. So many people live their life stuck in a nutshell because of what others expect, start standing up for yourself and speaking out. What you say matters. I always told myself "I'd rather be hated for who I am, then loved for who I am not". |
