What If I Can’t Find My Passion?

Title: What If I Can’t Find My Passion?
Artwork by: YMI
Description: “Find your passion” sounds like dated advice, but every now and then we still go back to that, especially when we’re stumped on what we should do. We resort to “passion” because we think it’s about finding something that we won’t easily tire of. 

But as life repeatedly demonstrates, our passion(s) inevitably wanes because of toil. When passion fizzles out, we need habit, discipline, commitment, and the God who upholds all these things, to help us carve out the path to take.

    I always wanted to be a professional mangaka or just do anything relating to animation, but I had to study for medical science so I could get a stable job in the future. However, I failed a part of my course so I had to redo that module the following year. It really broke me down mentally and physically, such that I decided to give up on living, because I thought that doing something I had a passion for, was more fulfilling. After redoing the course, I drifted away from animating, now I’m trying to get into medicine with an upcoming entrance exam, where the acceptance rate is quite small. I don’t know what I’m doing, but I’m trying anyway, because may be that’s what God’s will is for my life? Probably. But even if I don’t get accepted, I still developed a strong bond with Jesus in these weak times, which also led me not to unalive myself. Therefore I think we will never be happy in this world no matter what we accomplish or have, because its not our home, our home is where God is, and I can’t wait to meet him someday 🙂
