Passion

 I am finding out more and more that my life is becoming something that lacks passion. I know it comes in many forms, many things can spark passion. I am finding that as I get older and things in general are becoming boring and lacking of interest to me. I am finding more and more reasons to not do something that I might enjoy doing. I am finding also that the mindset I used to have in my younger days of doing what I love and nothing else was important has left me. It is now more about taking care of other things and not myself. I begin to make myself avoid doing anything at all by using excuses like it is too expensive, too far away, too much of a pain. I remember being in my teens and if I was like, hey I want to go ride my bike. I did it I just grabbed it and rode did not care at all where I was going or why I just went. But now I let too many things happen to convince me not to go. It is like I have just given up on trying to live a life that makes me happy and just live one that lets me work and pay bills...

    It is all too common, where as you get older you let life’s pleasures be replaced by the humdrum of existing. In our younger days we had many different passions and priorities, each one shifting as we got older . As very young children most don’t have a care in the world all that is done by the parents, move along a decade then we start to have to take accountability. The majority swings to less accountability more freedoms to pursue , as the decades fill by it slowly swings in favour of accountability.
    As we get older late 40,50…. That accountability should start to move backwards, somehow we so t seem to want to let it go.
    Interests change as life gives us more experience. It is up to us to keep the momentum and run with old interests or find new ones to be passionate about.

I don't know...

So my mind lately has been just in turmoil over something that most think about or maybe they don't. For me it is the lack of knowing who I am. Let me explain when I was younger you were just a kid a person who did very little and had fun. But as I am older now all I do too often is spend time not having any idea of who I am. Why am I here? What is my purpose? Where do I belong? And let me stop now and say to anyone reading this, no this is not some cry for religious help or meaning in life. I kind of live in the mindset that what one does defines them and makes them who they are. By that alone, I am nobody. I struggle in my life to find what makes me...me. Just working and doing nothing when I am not working is no real purpose of existing. I often get that never enough feeling as well like no matter what I might find that gives me my identity is never enough. Almost like thinking to myself well if it is something I can't do all the time then why bother at all? I just wish I kn...

  For a while now things are just becoming more and more exhausting. Not just physically but more on the emotional, mental side of it all. I feel often that anything or anytime I need to make some manner of change in life. It is met with resistance from others. I have never been one to tell anyone no when they bring up something they feel they should or need to do. If it will make them happy or feel better about themselves. But when I do it and I need to do something to make myself feel like what I do has a reason or purpose it is usually met with, "let's wait until..." If you have anyone in your life who is ever not themselves, feeling like they are not happy. And they ever say anything about wanting to make a change, you let them do it. Do not give excuses why they should not. This person is usually feeling alone and secluded from life. And any attempt made to reverse that feeling needs to be encouraged and not stomped on until it suits someone else's needs. I have ...

Entitled..

  I have noticed more and more in general terms that people are becoming more and more entitled. Does not matter what it is they will go right to bashing a business, person if they do not get what they want right away. Anytime lately when I browse the reviews for a business or a car dealership. All the ones that are super negative are all over issues that are minor and over reacted to. Like if a person goes to a dealer to view a vehicle only to find out it has been sold and they did not have enough time to go online and remove it from the site. That person then will write a massive review saying they are the biggest con artists, etc. Then you have the person with horrible credit and no down payment will rip them for not letting them just drive off the lot with it. I feel like more and more as a society we are all just assuming everything is just owed to us for existing. Often times if I want something or go to find something and it is not able to be, then I am like well that sucks....
