I would just like to see people getting motivated about LIFE.
The key might be to live more simply.
The simpler one lives the less weight he carries and the more time he has to give to his passion.
I have goals. I don't think I've quite found my passion.
Yes, my intellect tells me that getting to heaven and helping others get there is the goal but at times the weight of the world pours like a bucket of water onto the passions of my heart.
I turn into a robot because I am more of a realist than a romantic. This is quite odd for a female, yet I'm responsible for certain things and I don't want to let anyone down.
I've always been that way.
Responsibility before fun.
If i live long enough I hope I do not turn myself into a lonely old lady because i am sacrificing the poetry of life for the call of duty and responsibility that I set before myself.
I know it is there but I don't see the light at the end of the tunnel.
*************
thank you, I do believe I have passions now that I think about it but they seem different from my H.S. friends, which is fine but at times i get critisized for them.
Sarah's passions:
God
Family
Working out
Eating Healthy
Education
Swimming
I'm really working on opening up and helping others because i want to fan the flames in the area of service and have prayed to God to help me make that a strong desire. Once I lose my inhibitions I should not be self conscious about such a thing.
Two: I have always loves how you are open and giving and bring us into your life. I can tell you are passionate about the ones you love.
Josh, I know you are passionate about helping people and wanting to be a fire fighter. I know you will be a terrific one like your Dad is!
As far as being passionate in a relationship. I know that that will come .I have hopes in that. I have just been disappointed in the past when I was at my highest in regard to a new relationship and have been let down really bad. I am not so fast at giving my heart anymore. So right now getting all A's and a scholarship and getting a degree in Nursing are my educational goals.
I want my outside to reflect my insides so I eat right and work out because i do want to give the best I can to whomever will be my mate in life.
At 17 preparing myself to be a positive optimistic person hopefully will attract someone similar so when I do find time to be romantic (balanced with reason) I can live happily ever after.
I think that you just have to meet the right person, and when you do, no matter what comes, you will always see him and you'll no longer worry about what your responsible for but how you can surprise him with something like a dinner for just you two, and maybe calling him to see how his days going and tell him how much you love him. Living life like it was meant for just you two. Thats a passion that life asks for if you ask me. :)
From your writing, I think you balance realism and romanticism well. Regarding the quote, I believe that there's beauty in engineering and medicine. Although these persuits emphasize precision and correctness, they result, if done correctly, in beauty and simplicity. An "overengineered" bridge is heavy and ugly, but a well engineered bridge is simple, functional, sufficient, and though it may or not be aesthetically pleasing, well, that's in the eye of the beholder. We don't have to be either/or -- we can have balance.
I tend to live one day at a time, and do the things that life requires of me. I have something of a problem with things becoming a compulsion. For instance, I had an old Corvette for a few years, and couldn't stop looking for information; I've been compulsive about Pleonast for several years now. But passionate: I haven't managed that about anything, really. People think it strange (and even unhealthy) that I have no hobbies.
It's good that you have a plan for your college career. It's also good that you're not worrying too much about a relationship. God will lead you to the right person when you're both ready.
Sarah,Sometimes Criticism is good for one's life to help that person grow into a stronger person and you are still young.God will help you get to the point to where he thinks your ready to persue a romantic relationship.Put your Faith in God and let him help you.:) I think as christians we all should do that more often.Even I need to do that more often.No one is perfect!love ya!
I don't know what to say to this blog. I feel sorta the same way. Cant really explain it all that well. The passions I have my other friends would think are a waste o time. gah! I dunno.
yes, I know this guy who is not you mark but his bad memory is costing us a relationship.
I am thinking he uses a "bad memory" as an excuse but I seriously think he just doesn't care enough.
My grandma has a bad memory but also has dementia. I hope that you are not getting pre-dementia Mark. That would be sad!
I wish all the christians in my area could live in a commune centrally located.
( The jewish people had those kibbitz (spl?) things.)
It would be nice if we could pool our money together and buy these little cookie cutter houses and have a community center and park and hang out in our little neighborhood.
Getting older means getting busier and at the end of the day I am as tired as you all are.
Since we can't live closer it is going to take extra effort and I should try harder to get out there instead of want to curl up and sleep.
In the mean time I should try to convert my neighbors, those at arms length and extend the borders.
It would be nice to reach out and have you there. That means I need to be willing to meet you half way.
My tummy is growling and I am tired...hmmm sleep or food?
