Passion and Purpose
I came about Bianca Gonzales' teaser of her interview with Francis Kong. He said passion is selfish because you are serving yourself where as if you will find your purpose and pursue it, it serves the people. I agree with him and I think what you are doing can be both passion and purpose but it has to be clear why you are doing it.
I love writing. I have been writing since I was in grade school. In high school, it became poetry then stories. In college, it's writing letters. I would only keep it to myself and very few people who I trust. But then I forgot about it because it got too busy until it reached a point where I am not writing anymore and forgot that I love to write. And the video made me think about writing. I guess this is my passion?
I actually find myself at times searching for writing courses but would dismiss the idea completely. I wonder if I should pursue this. I am still busy with life (I am a SAHM to a 1 yr old girl and a 6 yr old), but the idea keeps coming back.
Also, how do I make my passion (writing) purposeful when I am very critical about myself and my writing. How do I put it out there? How can it reach the people it needs to reach?
For now, I will pray about it and will just keep writing, maybe write here in the blog too.
