“So these are the top three craziest things they did for SUJU… for the positive…”
My lunch buddies A and T were talking about fan obsessions toward this Korean boy band whom A is also a fan of. On top of the three “positive obsessions” she mentioned, she also enumerated three of the crazy bad things anti-fans did to the boy band, in detail. Yes, she really is a fan.
I was listening quietly, not being a fan of Koreans or boy bands in general. But I did have my share of “slight obsessions” so somehow I know the feeling.
The Twilight Saga was one of the first things I ever went crazy about so far as to buy all the books in the series in hardbound, the special edition journals, the soundtrack and everything else Twilight. I watched the movie twice in the theater and a couple more times in DVD. But that’s just a slight addiction compared to other hard core fans who were and continue to be far more devoted than I was.
It just dawned on me how every person has this enormous capacity to be passionate about something or someone. This sort of craziness is inborn in everyone, waiting to be triggered by the right purpose at the right time.
Imagine what could happen if you could focus that crazy passion to something you’ve always dreamed to achieve in your life.
What could happen if you could devote yourself to something so life-changing?
“What’s that one life-changing thing that you could be passionate about?” I asked A and T.
A said she has always wanted to conceptualize and create an anime series.
T said he absolutely wants to write a sci fi book.
I had to rethink what I want to focus my passion on, that coveted dream, the sought after ambition. I’m actually thinking about it right now which is strange because I used to be so sure.
But if there’s one thing I am always passionate about, it’s my husband Kernan, my daughters Jamaine and Kalia, and my family.
Everything I do now, everything I devote myself to ultimately leads back to them and my vision of giving them a happy, comfortable and affluent life.
It made me realize that if I could imbibe that obsessed, die hard, hard core, devoted kind of passion accorded to rockstars and channel it to my life’s ultimate dream then the results would be nothing short of amazing.
Definitely life-changing.
What’s the one life-defining thing that you can be passionate about?
