Passion

Everything that you do from your heart will definitely prosper. Well, that's what I believe. I've seen it happen in my life anyway. A big example is my one big shot for a scholarship here in Singapore. It's been almost four years and looking back I realize how much I've invested, how much thought I've put in. I've put all my heart and mind into working on the goal - to study here in Singapore for free and with allowance. hah! It's good that all the hardwork paid off in the end.

I guess, I didn't want to burden my parents to support me financially especially after the many shifts in courses I've been through. I didn't know myself back then and was constantly pursuing the most philosophical question, "who am I?" It's funny how until now I still feel there's much more to discover not only about myself but about the rest of the world.

Exploration... Identity... Passion...

Life.

I was reminded of this very profound word, "passion", once again after a short chat I had with my roomie Shaz last night. We talked about the scary possibility of how people, having lost their passion and zeal for life, change for the worse.

There are times I admit that I feel I've lost that fire, as if suddenly things have become black and white in an instant... evertything so dry. But I'd like to believe that amidst the desert there's an oasis to look forward to. One can always rekindle the passion and ignite the fire and that elusive zeal will come back slowly. Sometimes you gotta work on it, keeping your chin up and sometimes, when your lucky, it just comes by, oh so naturally.

I'd like to live life to the fullest, in both the dry and the flourishing of seasons because in both ends is a place where wisdom of the heart & knowledge of the mind is nourished.
