Passion Is Like A Burning Fire In A Man's Soul

Here is a young man who is not tired of raising funds for orphanages. 80% of his income is spent on orphans, in fact you will never see him in good clothes. You can never imagine that a man of his status can live in such an apartment where he lives. Now I began to question myself, what can be the force behind this man's actions? What is driving him to do all these? Why is he suffering himself because of the orphans? Is he an orphan too? All these questions I could not find an answer to. I thought again in my mind, can it be passion? I concluded. It is passion.
        Passion is what I call an "uncontrollable desire" towards or to achieve something. Passion is like a river that never flows backward, once the zeal and determination is sparked, nothing turns down the fire, passion is a powerful emotion towards something. Whatsoever a man has passion for, becomes his "must do". If he doesn't do or achieve that thing, he will not stop to press on,because it is all about passion.
       Every human being on Earth, young and old have something they are passionate about. There is something you love doing, there is one thing no body can convince you not to do or pursue, because it is what you have passion for. 
        One of those things that fuel your confidence in yourself is doing what you have passion for. When it is passion, you don't care what people say, their opinions do not matter to you, your eyes is fixed on your goals. When you do what you have passion for, you are always confident in doing it. 
         Therefore, if a man must build his confidence, he must first locate his passion. What you are passionate about might not really be what you know how to do, but passion drives you to learn about it and you are happy and loving yourself for that. Oh! You think you do not have passion for anything? No, it can not be, just that you have not located what it is. And if you must successfully build your self-confidence, you must channel your energy and zeal towards what you have passion for. That is when real success comes.

THE MIRROR: IDENTITY AND SELFHOOD

Identity. It’s the essence of who you are—your personality, the core of your being. Selfhood, on the other hand, is the expression of that identity, the way you present yourself to the world. Think back to a time when you had to show your identity card. Do you remember the reaction of the person you handed it to? Likely, they nodded in approval, having seen all the necessary information about you on that card. Your identity, in that moment, was defined by the details captured on that small piece of plastic. But identity is more than just what's written on a card. It’s how you define yourself and how others perceive you. It’s the name you give yourself, the image you project, and the way people recognize you. Selfhood is often conveyed through three key aspects: - Dressing (Your Appearance) - Actions (What You Do and How You Do It) - Speech (The Words You Speak and How You Utter Them)  Dressing (Your Appearance) There’s a common saying: "Appearance shows the manner."

The Greatest Goal

When the ball enters the net, they say it's a goal! And the loosing team feel defeated forgetting that they've got the greatest goal.  Same to a man who has all his goals lain down and strategically pulling his efforts towards the goal but to realize at the end that, his goals can't be achieved, for known or unknown reasons. He looses strength. At times, he can feel like it's over. But the truth remains that it's not over until it is over. He's got the greatest goal.       Really, a goal is the achievement toward which effort is directed. And billions are the "I want to", "by God's grace I will", "in fact, I must" in the speeches of every man, especially at the beginning of every matter, but strength wanes and the story changes maybe in the middle of the road. Because all efforts put towards the achievement of the goals seem to be less affective. The truth is, no man has control over whatever happens and will happen....
