Hey, What is your Passion?
What? Passion? hmm… err … ahh … let me think…
Well, that would be my response to the question asked. Its seems like a very simple question but yet for me it is so difficult to answer. For few years now the word Passion has made me think and think hard. You could find lot of people who can answer this question fairly fast and easy but someone like me do find it difficult. It might be because I try to be extremely honest in trying to answer this question or may be due to my exaggerated respect to word Passion itself.
Surely, for me my Passion is and should be something much more than just my favorite hobby and unfortunately for now I find no activity of mine which can be called my Passion. Yes, I like writing and have few blogs (with not enough posts in them) and aspire to write a lot on a regular basis. I also like my photography, and want to take it big as soon as possible. My liking to photography is reiterated by my two back to back camera purchases. However I still cant dare call them as my passion yet. Why? Its because I have not seen me doing enough quality work in these fields or to get a feeling of deep involvement doing them.
Running however has a different place in my heart. I dont know why but I like it and at times I simply love it. When I run I do become mad, find myself unable to control myself till I reach my set goal and often I have seen others saying that I set too difficult goals. The effort I put in, while I run till the last step is quite amazing. I feel I get this never say die attitude which is so strong here that I cant think of any other aspect of my life where I am so gritty and determined. The amount of satisfaction I derive when I complete my goal is quite an experience to go through. Added to these, it is when running that I get some interesting insights on various aspects of my life.
Yes, but still with all this I have not done anything credible till now in the field of running but for some strange reason I am so confident that I feel I can do Anything. A typical example of doing Anything would be running a full marathon pretty soon. At times it feels like this one activity comes close in the race to be called my Passion and hence I wanted to treat running with bit more care and space.
Today, After another satisfying run I felt this strongly than ever that running needs a dedicated space in my life. So the plan is to run a full marathon in April and use a platform to record my experience of how it all shaped up. hence this blog.
