Ignite Your Passion

I am glad to recover my blog site.

Really one cannot run away from one's shadow. Although I have been caught up with other equally important works of life, I think it is critical that I find time to indulge in my passion - the things that give me happiness and satisfaction. The things that make life meaningful, and worth living.

What is life without passion?

What is passion without expression?

What is expression without communication?

Communication is the vehicle to express one's passion to the world.

What are you passionate about?

There are so many things to be passionate about - to enrich our world, make it a better place to live in, and a brighter one for posterity.

Aside commerce, and business, you can fan the flames of your passion in culture, religion, science, arts, entertainments, sports.

Many a young people today chase materialism. They want to escape the cult of poverty that is forcefully recruiting young people. Hence, upon graduation from college, they strive hard to get jobs (good paying jobs) in banks, telecom and oil & gas industries.

Or, how do you explain what a Dentist is doing in the bank? What is a Yoruba graduate doing in the Bank? What is a graduate of Home Economics doing in the Bank?

Did you study Archeology? You should be on your way to the hills and cravens that litter the countryside to unravel the history and yet unresolved mysteries of our past.

You don't have money? You don't have a precedence to guide you? You don't have mentors to look up to? The environment doesn't encourage you!

Look inward.

What you need is training in entrepreneurship. How you can promote your training and skills in such a way that other people will invest in your enterprise. You need to commercialize passion, to interest others.

Instead of being held hostage by materialism, and remaining unhappy in life, you can pursue your passion.

If you want to be happy in life, you must do what makes you happy. Money is not everything.

It gets to a stage in life that your inner being will begin to crave for your childhood dreams. Until you find that dream and begin to live it, you are yet to start living a good life.
