Passion What Drives You?

Magic, some people love it, some people hate it. Its all a matter of perception. The same applies to magic, some people view it as a wasteful endeavor, others look at it with disdain , other are amazed and at wonder and there are others who simply get upset.


Over the years i have dabbled in a variety of hobbies and interest to fill the time.
It was once that someone asked me this pivotal question " what are you passionate about in life". I was taken aback, in my defense i said i am passionate about learning new things and concentrating on my business. It really made me think. So i though well, learning new things is a given we learn new things everyday don't we.


However how much of what we learn is by choice rather than circumstance? Concentrating on my business, yes i must admit that too is a passion, starting a business, watching it grow and manifest is very rewarding. However, i found that while i was at work in my business i was playing a role and that role is an unnatural role. Its unnatural because by nature i am fun loving,carefree, i enjoy chatting and meeting new people. I could not really be that person if not nobody would take me seriously i would have no authority so i play a role. The only part that i am myself well to a certain percentage is when i meet customers, then i thought even then i am playing a role.


Life becomes the roles we play in it. The role we play most often eventually becomes us, its like circumstances forces the role into our bodies eventually consuming us, binding the original self and then transforming it into another creature. A creature/Person of circumstance. Safe to say i somehow lost that along the way. So if we are playing a role we were not meant to play eventually we become unhappy. Its not that i am sad or unhappy with my own business , it was an opportunity to earn a living and therefore i focused on it.To use the word love, do i love what i do? Hmm....i like it , i don't love it though. So my life is being spent doing something i just "like" and its not "love" so that's an absence of passion.


As i had mentioned before a variety of interest took hold of me prior to that of magic, they include, playing the guitar, astronomy, poetry, singing, golf, finance,religion, psychology, Gymming, aqua scaping to name a few. i really did enjoy doing these activities at the time, at the time i thought yes this is what i am this is what i enjoy. I never could figure out something though, i met a number of people we are practically in love with what they are passionate about. They go all out and they spend alot of time on their passion, years on it. They never seem to tire of it. That was my biggest problem, at this moment in time, i find magic is something i could never tire off. Its only been 4 months , and i am afraid of eventually being tired of it. However because the nature of magic is so incredibly mysterious, it always keeps going forward with new things to learn practically everyday.


In the closing remarks of my first article, i want to speak in general what this blog is about. Primarily it is about magic and everything related to magic, its a review of tricks i have purchased , its about being magical, its about the journey and most of all its all about the magic!
