Sometimes life follows an overly familiar route and you get into a rut and your days all seem grey and you suddenly wonder what happened, where did the passion go?
It’s a question that came up recently on my favourite online women’s forum, a lot of the girls there are married, raising young families. The common answer to the question was “family”, perhaps because it is the all consuming priority in these young women’s lives at present.
Interesting to note that the couple of us who haven’t yet made babies were able to answer more comprehensively.
My passions: learning and improving my knowledge; reading good novels (watching good movies); doing my job well and being an integral part of a team. Nature, art and music (love my djembe) invoke a certain passion in me too. The geek in me is also passionate about technology – particularly the internet, and observing the effects on our society and culture.
While familar paths may seem dull at times, knowing what’s around the next corner can be quite comforting and reassuring at times. Remember, Diamonds are found in the deepest of pits…you just have find and appreciate them!
