Passion is something that you love to do with your whole heart. Not doing it, will make you feel empty.
A friend asked me "Have you found your passion?"
My answer is a yes. I have found it and I am glad I did. I found it not by trying all things that I haven't tried, instead when I did something I never did before and it felt good in my heart.
This is how I found it.
I have always loved to sing and play music. They were somehow it's part of my life since I was a kid. I often joined singing group in my school.
I love to played guitar, I always had. I like to play classical music which always calm my heart. I love to write song, sing it and play it on my guitar. It's just one thing, I never noticed that I actually loved them because they are always there.
One day, I was being challenged by the things I has always loved. My team leader asked me to sing solo for a school event, because during that time, the person in charge to sing, couldn't make it. It was too sudden, though I knew all of the lyrics and able to play it well. But I felt scarred.
I scarred I will fail and embarrassed myself. I was so so scarred.
I told my team leader "I can't. It's too sudden. How could I do that? I need practice."
But then, something inside my heart told me "You can do it. Don't be scarred, because you are doing what you love."
I was shocked because I felt something inside me was pushing me so strong to go into that stage and perform.
"You can do it Jack. You know you can do it." That was what my team leader said.
His words somehow strike my mind. Though I was scarred to death, I made myself as brave as possible to face my fear. So I agree.
When, I was on the stage, Oh God, the feeling was so horrible. I was very nervous and my whole hands was shaking. Very very shaking. I couldn't even hold my guitar properly. I couldn't even face the audience. All eyes were looking at me so intensely, and I felt very very anxious.
Suddenly, when I heard the piano being played, my heart calm. It was my close friend. She was playing that piano. The melody was so perfect and beautiful in my ear. I could hear it so clearly. Then, again my heart said to me "Jack, you know what you should do. This is for others, not only for you. So share it."
Yeah, that was very true, that time I realized something, my passion was about music. I had always wanted people to hear the melody that I create. The message that I was trying to carried out from a music. I had always wanted that.
So that day, I played my guitar and sing my very first song.
It felt so good. My heart felt very peaceful and each melody that I played bringing the message from my heart that I wanted people to hear and get inspired. I had always admire music that can motivate people.
During that day,I realized that music is my passion. I love it, and I want others to feel the love my music can bring to them. It's amazing how the way I found them, my passion.
