Passion Vs. Risk

     I get it.  Some people are lazy, in fact I'm lazy a lot too.  I tend to get distracted by homework, and books, and television.  I like to have some time for myself so I don't go completely bonkers in the future (I think I'm already bonkers, but we are going to pretend that I'm not...) and to give my head a rest.  That doesn't mean I don't have goals for myself.  In fact, I have way to many goals for myself.  I want to graduate with technical honors, and get into the National Honor Society, go to Berklee University, become a composer and teacher.  I want to start a non for profit organization that gives money to the schools that need it for the arts.  I want to get married, and live a generally good life, and travel the world and take super tumblr-ishlike pictures.
     The key to getting these goals accomplished is the passion I have for these things.  I love art and music, kids, teaching, learning, being creative, any of that kind of stuff feels like it's in my blood.  I don't want to be rich, that's not a goal.  I want to live a life worth remembering.  I work hard at what I do when I can, and I like the feeling of accomplishing things.  I want to know why some people don't try to do anything.  It's like saying you know what it is to be blind, but you don't even try walking in a blind person's shoes.   There is not an ounce of passion in some people.
     They could be the next Mozart, and they wouldn't know it because they just don't try to have passion. 
     With all this passion, there does come a risk.  The one risk you face, is the risk of being wrong.  Maybe that's why so many people don't try, they think they are wrong.  I dare you to make mistakes though.  Without mistakes, you will never learn anything and you won't get a passion, you will not accomplish goals, and you won't live a life worth remembering.  That would be a shame.  Would you rather live with a million cats by yourself, or would you rather accidentally make a big mistake that could lead to bigger and better things.  Think about it...

Are you Passionate about something?  Yes?  Good, I respect you!  NO?  Go find one!  There is something out there for everyone. 

EVERYTHING HAS RISKS!
