Passion

I believe in having passion in whatever I do, as long as I’ve set about doing it. I apply this to web design, to traveling solo, to doing anything I have set my heart on.

Passion

But a person’s strong point always proves to be a double-edged sword. Such passion, if applied to the wrong places, may inadvertently turn into a blind, pointless pursue of things that may not be worth it.

It takes courage to know when to stop doing something you so believe in. It takes courage to stop doing the very thing you have such passion for.

I’m still learning how to stop.

You know there isn’t such a thing as pursuing a passion in something that doesn’t count. Cos if you have a passion for it, and you pursue it, you’ll likely succeed in it, or at least learn from it. Unless of course if it’s wrong or hurts someone

there are always things that aren’t that important, but people pursue them passionately anyway. money, for example.

no one has been able to bring his wealth with him to his grave. at the end of the day, everyone is the same. our bodies rot the same way in the earth, and burn the same way in the furnace. money doesn’t count anymore.

what really counts is whether we have made any difference in this world when we are living in it.

Navigating through life is tough.

May you have the resilience to pursue what is right, courage to change what is wrong and wisdom to know the difference.

God be with you!
