Passion for Life

I love watching So You Think You Can Dance. It is not only because I love watching dance shows, but also because it inspires me to watch people doing something with such passion and dedication. I often forget what it is like to have such love and passion for something. I have missed that feeling. 

I find it inspiring. When I look at the dancers, that's who they are, that's all they have. Everything they have in life, they have put it all into dancing, because they love it that much. Or when I listen to their stories, their lives have been completely turned around because they got into dancing, and they love it that much.

Life is short, and to be able to find one thing that you absolutely love is difficult. Not everyone is fortunate enough to be able to find that one thing. I found it, then had to leave it behind. I loved being in cadets. During the 7 years, "being a cadet" was all that mattered to me. It was where I built my confidence, it was where I discovered myself, it was where I grew up, it was where I learned many life lessons. If I wasn't a cadet, I wouldn't know who I was or who I would become. Yet, life moves on, and I had to too. After leaving cadets, I have not found anything else I am equally passionate about. I have tried to get involved in different organizations, joining different classes, learning or doing different things. 

I still have not found the same passion, but I will keep looking because that passion is needed to make life meaningful and to live life to the fullest. Where is your passion?
