I spent many days thinking about this journal page. Should I do a "blog" at all or should I simply keep Brinjal Murphy Café as a place to enter on the home page, thumb through the menu and maybe munch on the freebies in the stories and poetry section while contemplating purchasing the main meal.
It all boils down to passion. How passionate am I in sharing myself, my thoughts, my opinions and my musings with the world wide web?
If you don't feel passionate about what you're doing, don't do it. Stop and think about it. You only have a limited time on this great earth and if you're spending your precious time in an activity that doesn't stir the passion within you - that doesn't make you want to talk about it, share it, work with it, love it - don't do it.
I'm not suggesting you stomp into your boss's office or down your spoon in the middle of stirring the sauce and say "I quit" and rush into the world with arms outspread to embrace your passion. Nor am I suggesting that you shouldn't accept that there will be some mundane things in your life. The world is made up of cycles, peaks and valleys, winter and spring but if you haven't got one, you need to put a plan into action that takes a fast track to your passion. Don't think about it briefly shrug and put it off until tomorrow. Let NOW be the beginning to rocking your world with passion. Let NOW be the beginning of your persistence towards moving your world so that you can do what you feel passionate about.
While I have a fiction voice and I love creating something from nothing, I do have other voices and they all speak with passion and what better place than on my own soap box? I've answered my inner voice. Writing is my passion. Be it inside my web pages or on my blog. I hope that you too can answer yours.
