Find What Inspires You And Never Let It Go

Why would you let something you love slip away?

How often is it in life that we find something that truly inspires us? How often do we find something that lights a fire in us and makes us want to work hard and be a better person? How often do we find something we love so much that we pour ourselves into it?

Not often. So it would only make sense that if you find that thing that you love, you should never let it go, right?

We tend to fall into the conveyer belt of life. We grow up going to school, we finish our education, and we get a job. But how often is it that we get a job that we actually love? I mean wake up every single day and are so inspired by our work and what we do that we never count the hours, never care about working too much, and always find each day fulfilling. And if you don't do that right now, what's stopping you from finding that thing?

Even though it doesn't happen often, you should always be searching for what you love. You should look for the thing that lights that fire in you every single day. You should explore a ton of different jobs and careers until you find the thing that makes you so incredibly happy that you can't wait to plan and do your job every single day. It can be scary to search for the thing that you want to do for the rest of your life, but it's also so incredibly fulfilling when you do find it.

Don't let anything get in your way of finding your passion in life. Make sure to push to find it and make sure to never settle or give up, no matter how long it takes to fulfill. It might take years and years to finally get there, but don't forget that it will be so incredibly worth it once you do finally find it. And when you do, don't let it go. Fight to keep it in your life so that you're not missing it if it ever goes away. Fall in love with your life and your job like you fall in love with places, people, and things. Finding whatever your passion is will help to do that. It will make you feel a fulfillment that you haven't found anywhere else in your life and it will make you forget about anything that ever left you feeling empty.

Finding whatever your passion is can be a long, hard road. It can take years and it can take a lot of "failing" along the way. But remember that each failure is more of a lesson than it is anything else. When you find something that you love, make sure to fight to keep it in your life and never let it go. Make sure you keep trying to find your passion throughout your life and that you don't ever lose sight of what you really want. Find what inspires you, fight for your passion, and never let it go.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
