Passion

Write a three paragraph journal that answers the following questions about your passions:

1.  What are you most passionate about in life?  Describe several interests and activities that you greatly enjoy.  What is it that you wish you could do everyday for the rest of your life?  

2.  How can you tie your passions to a career, a job, or a volunteer experience?  What can you do to connect your passion with your career?

3.  Think about service.  What type of population, group of people, market, or field of interest would you like to serve?  What cause would you be willing to work for?  Explain how your passion and your work could benefit others.  Think of it as providing a service, and explain.

I'm really passionate about music, I like making it and I like listening to it. If it was possible I wish I could get paid for the rest of my life for producing music. If I could be able to do nothing but create beats for the rest of my life I would be extremely happy. Growing up I was always told that being a musician will never give me a steady job in the future. So it kind of is a hobby now rather than a dream I had a couple years ago. 

I could focus on my music one hundred percent. But it would be a huge risk because sometimes what you have planned doesn't always work. And if I go all out with my music there can be a chance were I wouldn't be able to make a living off it. I can become a music teacher or work at a music store. But I would rather get a job that would be able to support me and others. And then maybe I could still create music on the side. 

People that listen to music really. I think I am pretty versatile with my sound. I love hip hop more than any other genre. However I do make other beats like techno or pop. So the type of people that would be interested in my service would be people that enjoy music, but if we look it at deeper it can be the people that like the genre I produce. Like I said on the discussion board I believe music is a outlet to express yourself, you can tell a lot about a person based off what they listen to. So I believe my services would create joy to others. 

Part 2 - Poem

This week, it's all about love.  Write a 20 line love poem dedicated to you and the passion of your choice.  Have fun with it.  Get intimate (stay appropriate).  Write a poem that is a dance between you and your passion.  Who leads?  Who follows?   What type of dance is it (figuratively).  Try to include words that describe movement and connection.

What is the relationship between you and the thing you love?

Music creates joy

But does it create stability?

Music always you to express yourself

But does it allow you to have privacy?

It gives you a chance to be famous

But does it give you time to spend with your family?

It allows you to travel the world

But does it allow you to have time for yourself?

You can have many fans

But are they real friends?

Everyone will know you

But will I stay relevant forever?

You can get things easier

But will I be taken advantaged of? 

You get to do what you love

But will I be allowed to make what I want?

You get to collaborate with other talents 

But are they just using me?

You get to do what you want

But will I make it?
