A lil on Passion lol

Some 15 years back, at any time I watch the big screen, I thought of what on earth I could possibly be, I hated the slightest hearing of primary education, not to talk of all that it is about. I loved to learn informally, though formal in a way. Not in a classroom, any where else....

Nature for sure took its course, and I had to grow up, finding the interest to study law and to bear its risks. For me, the subject of law is a risk which anyone who undertakes it should be prepared to face its outcome with head held very high. Risk of fighting the loop holes of the law, risk of knowing what to do and at when to do them, and even as a student, the risk of listening in college and finding the lectures interesting even when they are not.

After my Secondary school, I was in dilemma whether or not to continue with the purposed legal studies, I had friends and family who wanted me to though a part of my family never appreciated it, they suggested computer engineering, mass communication, economics, and what have you. The worst of it lied in the fact that I was driven mad with the passion for law, I knew the only thing my heart clicked with, the only thing I wanted to become. That future was all I could be.

Getting enrolled into the law college was not something I found difficult though I had to wait for a year after High school. In first year, I had a whole lot of enthusiasm, courage, boldness to squarely fit in to my new "would-be". I listened so much so in class that I almost imagined me in the law court already.

So sad, it didn't last long, the further i went, the borer it became. the tougher too. case laws to remember, standard format to answer law papers and all. I started absenting myself from lectures and even grew to having attendance shortage. as I write this, a lecture is going on in my hall.

With this, I came to know that PASSION is like the human body, it grows, dies, feeds, reproduces, moves and even breaths. it is born the day you begin to nurture it and starts like a seed in an infant stage, the more you dream of it, the more it expands. If you invest it, it reproduces many more passions. it feeds on our pursuit for it which comes by our own conscious effort and strive. It responds to our environment and can move from one thing to another, depending on what we channel it to. It takes in the influences of what we expose it to, it forms a shape and gives out what our hearts do not want, by doing this, it breathes.

Times come when passion seems to be lost or almost dead, like it is for me now. take a little time off your activities, think on what drove your passion in the past. its really not dead, you had made it dormant and since it needs to grow to produce strength, your continuous conscious effort is all that counts. I have to tell myself that law is my dream and I have the only opportunity to fulfill what I have always called my own. I have to force myself to go for lectures, make research on it to make it interesting again, and finally hold unto it. it will grow again as long as the dream remains alive!!!
