I'm Passionate about Sushi- you?

I'll begin by apologizing for not writing for far too long. Old habits are creeping in and I can feel myself giving in to the indiscipline but I promise I'm doing my best to stay above water. It's 24 days into the new year and I know you're probably struggling too, but it's a journey and as long as you keep moving forward it means you're getting closer, you're on your way to 'somewhere'. Let's talk a little bit about passion, motivation, understanding self and all those boring things which get lost along Everyday Existence. I'm extremely passionate about sushi but my parents won't ever take me. Ever. I mean I'm old enough to pick up and go there but there's something about a parents opinion that just weighs on your decisions so heavily that you find yourself most times avoiding the subject all together. You're probably wondering where I'm going with all this but I promise I'll get to it... Eventually...

Right, ok, Point- So from where I'm standing, I'm starting to realize most people have jobs - specifically a place they are disgruntled to be for 8 hrs a day, sucking their teeth, swearing under their breaths for 28 days a month to collect a pay check after an exhausting drawn out 30 days to then repeat the cycle as the new month reels in.  . Most people have bills to pay and are left without passion just going through the motions trying to make ends meet. It's a sad reality but a prevalent one from one continent to the next. Do some reflection at this junction and ask yourself
"when did I decide to settle?"
"what made me settle?"
"am I comfortable with this current situation?"
"Do I want more?"
" Is this enough?"

This is where you have to be honest with yourself, allowing yourself to let go of what's keeping you from reaching the heights that you want to get to even if you begin on paper it's your first step to liberation. We are held back not only because we have dire circumstances which hinder us from becoming more progressive and fulfilled but because we are complacent. We want more, so we wait for more to find us. When has it ever worked that way? I'm constantly telling you things you already know, however, we all need a little reinforcement some days. Find your passion, Invest in yourself, Make the sacrifices, Serve yourself, Be selfish when you need to, Do it for YOU! Not for anyone else but yourself. The bills will always arrive on time unlike your salary, the boss will breathe down your back like he ordered you from China, but the day you find that passion and you begin to live what you envisioned for yourself, you'll be unstoppable. Find what sets your soul on fire and like Nelson Mandela said " There is no passion to be found playing small- in settling for the life that is less than the one you are capable of living." GO GET YOURSELF SOME DAMN SUSHI. YOU'LL BE HAPPY I PROMISE.
