Passion

Listening to : Stick With You - Pussycat Dolls

It's prob the easiest thing to lose I suppose.
But I think it's one of the simplest thing to obtain at times as well.
Passion.
It waivers from time to time.
Occasionally playing tricks on your mind and makes you do the dumbest thing.
Makes you go out of your way for that extra effort.
However, after due time, after losing it, you feel like a retard.
It either makes you wonder why did you ever do the things you did.
Or makes you wonder how you ever accomplished them to begin with.
Tougher question is how are you ever going to continue after losing that passion for it.

I know full well how it feels to put the shovels to the plough.
Where before that, we never felt like it was work at all.
Dragging your feet through every seemingly meaningless act.
Finding the joy in doing things never seemed so difficult.
The biggest adversary at every point becomes the flawless burning first desire.
But is it worth it?
Is it worth it to keep on at something even though you've lost it?

I honestly wonder. How do we love Forever?
Is it really possible? Is it something that we can grasp?
Can we keep on that passion for a someone or a something?
What I do know is that we may lost the passion at times.
But it can be retrieved, it can be restored.
If we keep pressing on it, if we keep believing in it.
I'm sure that passion and love can continue forever if we want it to.
Though it may seem like boring tough work at times, I'm very sure things will work for the best.
If we only but try for one moment.
If we just don't ever give up on ourselves and our friends.

But is it the same for work? Sports? Ministry?
I'm certain there are the low points.
But there is a famous saying which goes like this...
"If life gives you lemons, you can either suck at it or make lemonade."
You can sulk and feel that there's no more motivation, no more passion.
Or you can actually find it back again.
I would like to do that.
Right about now.
