RAMBLE #14: WHAT IS YOUR PASSION AND HOW DO YOU ATTAIN IT?

I've been questioning my passion lately.

When my mom was sick at the hospital, she asked me, "Are you happy with what you're doing?" Since I work for her and she has heart problems, I lied and said that I was happy, but actually, I wasn't.

Image result for happyI've posted tweets before about my admiration for people that are able to do the things they love doing AND get paid to do it. I think we as Filipinos are too 'blue collar' when it comes to our comprehension of what is REAL work and what is a waste of time.

I for example would LOVE to get into eSports. Sadly, it's not a thing here in the Philippines. It's a good thing though that PLDT and Globe are somewhat delving into the realm of eSports. 

I sooo badly want to get into that type of career that I applied for a part-time job at Garena (publishers of League of Legends in Southeast Asia) but they still haven't replied to it; probably also because they have too many similar requests from a lot of people. 

Image result for decisionDuring the times I daydream, one of my thoughts was that: "If ever you get into a career related to video games or board games, would you take it? Would you leave mom and the company she is hoping you would continue?" Sadly, my answer is NO. I respect my mom too much to let the company she built get buried once she's gone. Even if it means I get to do something I'm not particularly fond of in exchange for something that would make me happy.

If only life was a movie where you can just flip the script. Unfortunately it isn't and we'll just have to roll with the punches.
