I remember the question that was asked when I was in my teens and twenties was often, “What would you like to do when you grow up?”
I think it is a good and valid question. It is a question that helps us to explore what we like, what our current peculiarities (personality) are, and what we enjoy.
What if we also paired that question with this question, “Will you like what you do when you grow up?”
I think this question can help us to see that we are not a victim of our circumstances. Just because we find ourselves somewhere doing something we didn’t dream of doing doesn’t mean we can’t like it.
Maybe a better way to express this is to say: “We don’t need to search for something that is already inside of us.”
Passion is not something we need to stress out about finding, but instead is something we can bring to what we are already doing.
A couple of thousand years ago in the middle east, they would say, “Whatever You do, Work at it with All Your Heart, as Working for The Lord, not for Men.”
I want to keep my Passion working from the inside out.
