Presents or Presence?

Passion huh? I remember watching a very popular show one time, awhile ago actually, and something that always rings is my head is that one quote "Not everyone in life will find their passion blah blah blah." I obviously don't remember the full quote.

But really, it comes to everyone eventually I'm sure. I mean it came to me and boy does it feel great. To feel so passionate about doing something and feeling the drive of getting better. Then after you've accomplished one level you drive to go to the next. It's a nice feeling, there's no limit to how good you can get. Really though, it doesn't matter where your passion lies. Everyone gets somewhere when they put their hearts into their own personal work.

And you notice it to, you can always pick out the weeds from the flowers. Anyone who has passion about anything will have their own swagger when they go about it. I know this one girl who dances, and she always makes it very sexy. (Well, sexy is the word I use only because it's one word and if you wanted more I'd give you a whole novel about it, trust me, I'm single and a male in the same mix. I would know.) But really, that's how she goes about it, she loves it. Most importantly though, she's got that sexy swagger when she goes about it.

Really, you can't attain this type of passion, this feeling if your always following in someone's footsteps. What's the point, it's not your swagger. It only makes your products exact copies. All because you don't walk the walk, YOUR walk. You walk someone's road, and it's impossible insert your heart into something evolved from someone's heart and soul. It isn't authentic. I mean yeah, it's nice to follow and be inspired by someone, however, there has to be some point in the road where you break off and start working on your own projects. Gain your own personal "swagger" and go about things the way you want, in the style you want.

So going back to the girl, she's so passionate about her dancing, she walks her own path with her own swagger and I KNOW she has followers. Whether they make their own paths or decide to follow is totally up to them.

It takes many to replicate, but only one to authenticate.
