from the mind of critic-12/30/16

From the mind of critic: “If we feel great that we’ve found our passion, but are lonely, do we realize that alone time can give us the time we need to work our passion? Does the lonliness we feel overshadow all the joy we have from not only finding our passion, but working it as well, making us forget what’s really important? Or even though we are well aquainted with these lonely feelings, we see how low an importance they hold and how they drag us down, so we ignore them the best we can, in favor of our passion that holds the most importance because it lifts us up? Doing something that brings us joy, is something we all strive for. Some of us have found that thing, and some of us have not. Even if we haven’t found it, just the fact that we’re consciously looking for our passion, allows us to access some of the immense energy our passion produces. Whatever stage we’re at, our passion causes us to be more in the moment, which causes us to feel things more. Because we’re accessing a very specific part of ourselves, we feel emotions more as well. Because everything is raw and out in the open, we are forced to deal with what doesn’t serve us, as well as what does serve us, especially if we have found our passion because it is the ultimate thing that does. Lonliness doesn’t serve us at all, because it makes us focus on what we don’t have. At the same time, it is an emotion we must honestly admit to having, before we can recognize it and let it go. Letting go of what doesn’t serve us, is partly how we find our passion in the first place. What we must remember is that letting go is a constant process, not a one and done equation. This constant can overshadow our passion, but only if we let it. We can find our passion, and we can work our passion, but only if we allow ourselves to” 🙂
