Pursuing your passions is not easy. In fact, it is hard work. Yet, as all athletes know, the sweat, tears or injuries are well worth the sacrifice for that moment of glory when you win the game. The feeling is orgasmic. Brief, powerful and gives you insurmountable pleasure and a hunger to feel that way again–if only for a moment.
“But, why live your life devoting so much time and effort towards achieving a feeling that only lasts a moment?” one may ask.
Well, a life lived without these pulses of glory is like making love without reaching a climax, it just doesn’t feel complete without it.
Let yourself pursue your passions, whatever they may be. The road you’re travelling may be taking you straight up hill, or a mountain even. You may be tired, hurt, want to rest or give up–but, don’t. Keep in mind all of the feelings that you know will consume your body when you reach the peak, and it will help motivate you to keep on pushing on.
Great post – I’m really glad that you’re pursuing your passions and encouraging others to do the same, because sometimes all it takes is a little nudge.
I randomly read your blogs and I am amazed by the perfect timing in reading this.
You write beautifully and passionately and I thank you for that.. I will keep this in mind as I try to reach the stars=)
