My Heart's Desire

Going through life’s everyday motions, I find myself following the movements of the crowd where I don’t standout. Moving without thinking. Moving without feeling. Moving with the callous movements of the body. We are enslaved...the slave drivers of the corporate world where we are hardly recognized for our efforts. Results, results, results are all that matters. Well of course it matters! Now I know what, “I feel boxed in”, means. I know how it feels like.

The passion that’s burning inside me is slowly dying. Shortly, my light will be out...my gas, empty. Fill me up. But I have yet to blossom. I’m on the verge of surrendering.

-----“Dare to be different.”-----

-----“Challenge the status quo.”-----

These are some of the things we often hear but seldom take upon ourselves. In fear of the unknown we submit to the pressures. We let the crowd carry our feet and let them think and answer for us. We shut up and so we are shut out. Our privilege to speak our minds rot inside us but then we frequently worry about everything else.

It’s true that benefits are enticing but you really have to love what you are doing. When you work, your job and yourself must be in harmony in order to be productive.

Am I to blame for this lack of enthusiasm? I need to find my heart’s desires. Still searching for my sweet fat chocolate!

Move with the motions of your heart’s desires. Move with passion.

Standout. Be different. Challenge the status quo.

The question is...are we bold enough?
