Living Passionately

I truly believe the most responsible thing we could do for ourselves is to pursue our dreams. When we do we live our life with passion, that is also when we are most alive and have the most to offer the world. I have lived a number of my lofty dreams in the recent years, that only further affirms this belief. You see, there is something ultimately good and right about following our dreams. With every one I lived I come to realize dreams are expressions of our soul, and through our dreams we come to discover for ourselves who we truly are at the core of our being.

Whenever I do a photo shoot session with people to create their portrait, I aim to capture the essence of who they are. So when they look at their own portrait it would inspire them to be their best self. I soon notice the quickest way to bring out a person's essence is to have them talk about what they are most passionate about. That's when I realized there is a connection between pursuing dreams, living passionately and from the depth of one's essence.

I enjoy connecting with people who are living their dreams. There is something naturally attractive about them, it's like they are lit from within. Sort of like a firefly, so full of light they light up their surrounding. I get very excited for someone when I see them going after their dreams. I've had many who have supported me and believed in me to pursue my dreams, now I do the same for others whenever I see the opportunity. The more fireflies the brighter the world is.

When we shift our focus from fixing what is out there to doing what is most responsible we could do for ourselves, we are actually giving to the world in a big way. Seeing sustainability with New Eyes. How's that for a different take to the term "a sustainable world"?
