“How my passions can impact the world”
Human passions are rather like a “broad brush”; vast and driven by man’s fervor and devotion for living life. Many consider their interests accompanied by talent as the basis forming and cultivating their passions; there unique gifts influence and contribute to our world. Talent for athletics, art, music, writing, leadership, and of course the list is endless, impact all of us.

My spirit is drawn to perhaps the “broadest brush” that which all actions and energy need to breathe. I am impassioned by the promise and potential of time; the canvass which we paint our lives. Of course this is not a text book definition, but I envision each soul on the planet spending themselves on the most worthy notion that every life, year, day, hour, and fraction of a second has endless depths of potential that should never be taken for granted, and yet most of us do exactly that. How often do we find ourselves waiting around for the next thing or even or rushing to catch up? Our gift is time; and our use of it. As Albert Einstein puts it, “The only reason for time is so that everything doesn’t happen at once.”

Look at inventors, they’re always battling to come up with the next new thing, but in a few years there inventions may be gone, out dated by something else new. Or they may create something timeless that helps define our civilization. So, I think that time is something so significant, yet so routine to some. When we wake up and go to school we have a whole new day ahead of us to do the things we need in order to get a good grade or strive to understanding the joy of learning something fresh. It’s a whole new day to be proactive and thirsty for learning.

Those who have lived a longer life then us and have more experience directly as the result of time, may teach us complex learning. But, have you ever noticed how some people older than us may still not have their lives figured out or know what their passionate for? What may cause this? Perhaps like many, they

    The poem 'As I Walked Out One Evening' consists of three separate speakers: the lovers, the clocks and the narrator. Each speaker represents a different measure and attitude towards time. The lover’s song paints time to be conquerable and ignorable – no more than a passing annoyance that they are outside of. The soliloquy of the clocks demonstrates time as a product of society, there to keep its subjects in line, and ultimately a ruling force. Finally, the narrator speaks of love as being outside of both of these things. Time is a constant flow than brings change and opportunity, and any claim to deny or control it is an illusion.…

    Longfellow says the clock uses a “sorrowful voice” to pass judgement on all those who reach the halfway point in their life (14). The people are meant to feel as if they have not accomplished anything meaningful and are running out of time. In the next stanza, Longfellow provides imagery of a busy day where the time seems to go by fast and contrasts the busy day with a dark, silent night where time seems to pass slowly because no one accomplishes anything. Longfellow elaborates on this by saying “through the days of death and days of birth,” which means that no matter how a person spends their time, it will always begin with being born and end with dying (26). Although people can use their time with “free-hearted hospitality,” time will always go on and never stop because the “warning timepiece never ceased” (34, 38). Longfellow says that even if a person spends their time generously or in a good/beneficial way, time will still go on and never stop. However, he also compares people who do not do anything with their life to a “miser count[ing] his gold” (45). A miser will count his gold forever, unwilling to spend any of it, but eventually…

    Many people feel trapped by their lives. They have responsibilities they don’t want, or lack the opportunities that they think they deserve. When life feels this way, it may seem limited and small. However, this is just an illusion of the mind. In his book A New Earth: Awakening to Your Life’s Purpose, Eckhart Tolle informs readers that in reality, life is unlimited if we discover who we really are and identify our true purpose. Tolle explains that we are really one with the universe, and since the universe is infinite, so are we. Therefore, in order to find peace and contentment, we need to see that the self and the universe are unified.…

    Society has set out certain guidelines about how we should go about participating in the activities we enjoy. Our culture tells us that a passion is something you have or you don’t, that you should always push yourself for achievement, that you should grown out of silly habits, and that you should stick with things you are used to. Jeremy Hurley demonstrates through his passion of singing, his viewpoints to these cultural norms and to which he follows along or contests to. Achievement is something that should always be reached.…

    In my quest for passion, I often bite off more than I can chew. I want to create, whether it be photographs, art, or music. The problem is, I never stick to one hobby long enough to master any set of skills. I'll be honest, the coding class I recently took threw another wrench in my quest. I enjoyed that class so much it made me rethink my career path and my degree plan. I have recorded multiple songs, finished dozens of art pieces, and taken thousands of photographs in the past ten years.…

    Out of Time

    Out of Time is a poem written by Kenneth Slessor and is one of his personally favorite poems to date he has written. Time is personified in this poem, but also associated with the natural phenomenon of water, or vessels such as yachts seen on Slessor’s favorite location, Sydney Harbor (which is itself personified). Personification gives immediacy to an abstraction such as time, and elicits evaluative responses which are more arresting than an address to an abstraction could ever be. So Slessor finds that Time ‘enfolds me in its bed’, but – in the next line – it is ‘the bony knife’ which ‘runs me through.’ Seeing time everywhere, he notes that it flows through all things and his heart rebukes him: “Time flows, not you.”…

    As Forrest Gump once said on a park bench, “ My mama always said there’s an awful lot you can tell a lot about a person by their shoes, where they’re going, where they’ve been.” As I get older, the more I realize everyone has a story to be heard. However, mine cannot be told by the shoes I wear on my feet. It can be told by the way I carry myself through everyday life. At a young age I quickly became accustomed to chaos. My father’s second home was a prison cell, and my mother’s first love was drugs. This caused tremendous stress on my siblings and I, myself being the second youngest of four. Despite all of the adversities I have faced thus far, I can take pride in saying I will be a first generation high school graduate with aspirations of college.…

    I agree with this quote; only because I do think that everyone’s perspective is different. Two people can see an apple on a table and think two completely different things. Which are normal, people tend to interpret things in different ways due to past experiences or important events that have occurred in his/her lifetime. It could have been traumatizing or very beneficial towards a person. I guess you can say a person who has more experience tend to have a more educated outlook on ideas. But young people are known for making mistakes, due to lack of experience.…

    -Even though there may be a great deal of stress that goes along with pursuing one’s passion, it only adds to the intensity of the fulfillment in the end. The fact that we put ourselves though pain and suffering in order to pursue our passions, says in itself that passions are good in their nature.…
