No wind and rain, which has rainbow
If you want to climb the peak, you must not fear difficult and risk-resistant; if you want to reach the other side of success, you must not be afraid of the distant and life of the road. Breaking into a butterfly silkworm, sleeping in the sword, is it enjoying a happiness that does not have to worry?

Taking a Chance
What made me start a lipstick line during a pandemic? To be honest, it was a now or never situation. I have always dreamed about starting my own business but never had the drive nor the ambition to do so, mostly because I was afraid of failing, still am. But the difference from then and now is the fact that I now know the importance of having something of value to leave here for my daughter when I am gone. I now know the importance of having something that I can call my own, a business that I have worked hard for, and built from the ground up.

Passion
Lately, the word passion seems to keep getting lost into the abyss of depression. Not by choice, but more because of everyday struggles of life for me. Just about two months ago, an idea had occurred to me that I do not deserve to continue to get wrapped up into the corporate world of Walgreens. With the pandemic passing by us and all the stresses that it had brought upon me was just a lot. The need of trying to become more and to attempt to live life to it fullest has been constantly ticking on my mind. So, there it was, a time I decided to put my two weeks in after six long years. It was the perfect time to take a risk!

The road to harnessing the power of motivation
There have been many times in my life when I felt I lacked a vision, oftentimes succumbing to a rigid form of thinking that would hinder creative exploration and the pursuit of meaningful projects. What got me through was the imagination, strength of spirit, and confidence of those who helped me navigate through life and guide me through the challenges I have overcome. My parents cultivated my discipline, shaped my newfound values, and projected tremendous motivation on me as they navigated through their new life themselves.

Born Never To Blend
As we leave childhood, we never tend to realize that growing up is a social shock all its own. Becoming an adult is quite different for everyone. Physically, we have to deal with the changes of hitting puberty, and those can happen either early or later. We feel out of place when our bodies start shifting and seeming to betray us, but that’s almost nothing compared to dealing with new emotions and responsibilities. We go from a magical world of playground breaks, naps, and music during school lunches to being thrown into the adolescent fray that we call high school. A new world of fake, egotistical, and hormonal “teen-adults”, all attempting to become what others expect to see from us.

A Year and A Half
No pun intended, but I was totally shocked when I found out that I was supposed to be travelling alone to a foreign country to study. This happened when I was sixteen. I had graduated from school at fifteen and my mother didn’t want me to start university immediately because of my age, so we decided to keep me at home for a year.

Why you should follow your passion
Every day that you go to work with this mindset, you begin to hate your job more and more. While many people feel that they must work hard to retire and have money to enjoy themselves, what’s the point of enjoying yourself in your later years when you spent some of your best years being miserable?

The Seeds that We Plant: The Role We Play in Taking Action
"The impact you have on the world is based upon the seeds that you plant." This quote from Jane Goodall resonates with me. What we do ripples out into the universe. We affect the collective consciousness and everyone around us. To impact our lives in a positive way, we must choose to take action by planting good seeds. When I think about my life, I am reminded of how much impact I have had on those around me because of what I chose to do or not do. It's never too late to start taking action and planting new seeds!

Passionate vs Passion
When I read this challenge’s title, I skipped over it because I did not feel like it applied to me. I do not feel passionate about anything really anymore. It’s almost one of those, ‘if everyone’s special is anyone really special’ topics to me. We have so many passions that come and go so quickly. At times I have felt my passions have been spread too thin as I have enjoyed many things so deeply. People in their fifties are rarely as driven by what they loved in their twenties anymore, but does that make us fickle? Humans tend to be the butterflies of the cause and passion army. Each new day brings a new onslaught of colorful flowers to admire.

We are all connected
We are all connected. Passion is a strange word. Passion is defined a strong and barely controllable emotion, a state of outburst or an intense sexual love. The thing I am most passionate about in life almost defies the definition of passion itself. It allows me to stay in control of my life and my mind, live in a state of constant energy and love rather than an outburst of intense sexual love that slowly fizzles out over time. It is the thing that lights me up. Writing is my passion.
