“I just want to do what I need to do to make enough money to live a lifestyle that was exciting for me” -Spencer Hunn
The above quote is something I heard from a mentor of mine. He is the leader of an International Communications company now at the age of 28 he is living his dream. Making enough money so he doesn’t have to worry about what he wants to do, or when he wants to do it. Now wouldn’t you say this is exactly what all young people secretly want in life?
I’m sitting as a full time student four years senior in a college career, I work at least twenty hours a week (just to keep up with the jones), I’ve changed my major twenty-five thousand times and I feel like I’m on a never ending cycle to know where. Why is this? Why can’t I just do what I want?
When I was a young child I wanted to be a car sales men. I remember seeing my moms face when I told her this news (she awkwardly smiled at me and said why don’t you just be a doctor). Well I didn’t want to tell her that maybe I wasn’t interested in being a Dr. and that maybe I didn’t feel like sitting in school for the next Three thousand years. So I just shrugged and said, I don’t know.
My inquiry is, why don’t we just do what we want? Why don’t we do what we were born to do? I feel that if everyone were to pick something they were passionate about, we would have a lot more productive, happy, and healthy people. This is why I have decided that I’m going to try and figure out my passion and then point all my energies at that. I’m not going to be afraid of the outcome, and I’m just going to be the best person I can be. This is something that I think some of the youth in my generation have lost, the will to follow their passion. So at this point I can say my passion does revolve around finding a way to be as free, flexible and live a life that is exciting as possible. My goal to everyone reading this would be to find your passion and chase it. No Reservations!!!
