PASSION- an incarnate of purity

I see so many multifaceted people around me and admire the drive to be so.....like Deepika padukone- badminton, modelling, movies - i like her will to do them all with equal likeness and most of all the perfection. I think its all in the mind or the bring up.

Another girl, my classmate-she 's so good at photography, an MBA working in a good company, loves nature and captures them in her camera whenever possible.... a poet/writer. She amazes me with the kind of photos she clicks. Her drive to getup early in the morning to capture pure unpolluted nature. It's her pictures and words together that motivate me to achieve more and learn more in the process of living happily. In he process of doing so i learnt that I had newer areas to explore such as biking, teaching and travelling.

I guess i have a likeliness to all of them.....when something thrills me, drives me ... i like to put it in words and picture(my art) or photography. I am no great artist, not a professional at all....but yet i want to express it in someway or the other..... does every person have this drive........ is it the laziness or lack of interest that stops everyone in doing so many things. Is it all about planning ones life to cater to every emotion of heart when seen pure beauty - the push to talk it over or mould it into the above forms (art/photography/ poetry/writing). If planning was so easy everybody would be able to do all the forms.

So may be that's what we call PASSION. And passion with purity of mind and heart is what makes us cater to addressing it in whatever form that thrills us. What ever it is .....at least that's why i am sitting here doing all the blah blah...I am happy that i put it in words though.
