Passion: The Collegiate Pursuit

Did you awake this morning with an excitement to pursue the day? Did you have trouble falling asleep last night because of your desire to continue the day? Are you filled with vibrancy and vitality as you perform the tasks of your day? You must be! Are you not?

Passion. Do you have it? If you live in this contagious state, you know it and others know it. For it infiltrates every step of your day! If you do not live in this state, I urge you to consider the reasoning. I only bring forth this encouragement because I believe in your capability to succeed! You may say, “But you don’t even know me!” Indeed, this is true. However, I know that you are gifted. This is not in question. Rather, the question is whether you recognize your gifts and have become ignited with a passion to utilize them for the benefit of others. Have you?

Why do you sit idle in these collegiate years? This is of consequence. Now is the time to seek, to find truth. Here, the beauty of passion rests. The process is thorough, but the reward is great! You may ask, “How is it that I am to discover my passions?” Such a question is valid. You must proceed with self analysis. This may begin with constructing a list of your qualities and gifts. Stepping further, seek the third-party wisdom of family and friends. Request that they express their observances of your nature and their general thoughts. You will find much truth through this progression.

Gradually, leadings will develop within you. As these thoughts expand, begin to seek individuals that live with passion in industries of which you hold interest. Yearn for their wisdom. Express your pursuit of passion as you speak with these individuals. Most passionate people are eager to encourage others that are seeking a similar passion! You will discover this.

The greater quest in these collegiate years is not the development of knowledge; no, it is the discovery of passion! If you gain this discovery, you will find no end to success in this life. I dare you to find your earthly passions. Go, seek at once!

“Without passion man is a mere latent force and possibility, like the flint which awaits the shock of the iron before it can give forth its spark.” (Henri Frédéric Amiel)
