What sets you on fire?

Greetings my loves! Have you ever heard of this word called intuition? Intuition is
your gut feeling, instinct that comes from within you. Nobody tells you that but you think that's the truth even when others are telling you you're in the wrong. As infants, up until we become toddlers and young children, I strongly believe we have always followed our intuition. If you feel like drawing a plant, you draw, for hours even and that's what makes you feel fulfilled inside your heart. Your parents don't really care at that moment unless it involves your safety and wellbeing.

Once we hit puberty though, our parents or guardians are controlling us and guiding on what we are supposed to do and not to do especially when it comes to our career or what we are supposed to do in life. Get a job with lots of money. A teacher once said. I remembered watching a video made by a Youtuber who was previously an accountant. He became one just because his teacher said so. "I don't know what I want to be.", he asked his teacher,feeling confused
"Be an accountant. You'll make a lot of money and you'll be happy."

Then he pursued a degree in accountancy and graduated with honours. Soon after, he landed a job at a small yet successful accountancy firm and worked there for quite awhile until the company went bankrupt and he was one of the top ranked worker and quitted. He said he wasn't happy anyways with the job. Yes, he made a large sum of money but that's not what life is about. Eventually, he discovered Youtube and tried to dive into videomaking and he loves it. He is now a full time Youtuber and that's what makes him feel alive and happy. He emphasizes to all the youngsters out there that it's important to know what keeps you burning with passion.

His story really sets an impression on me. As for me, Im still searching and I wont settle just yet. Yes, it will take time, like he does, but eventually you'll find it. You just have to keep searching. Not what others want you to be, but what you want to become yourself.One of the  things that will help is to remember your hobbies or passion when you were little or back in high school. Something you're good at and you're not doubting your own talent, not even other people's mockery.

I believe you can do it, and if you ever feel lost, remember you're not alone. There are other people who feel the same way but are scared to say so. Goodluck and have faith in what you do and believe in! :)
