So does anyone out there have a real passion for something? Could be cooking, running, or even writing. You may not even be good at it, but that euphoric feeling is undeniably gratifying. 
Some of you may not know this about me, but my passion is art. I am a bit private about it, but it's something I really love. When I was physically incapable of expressing myself through my art, I became emotionally distressed. 
I revealed my frustration to a friend and was given the best advice of life: MIND OVER MATTER. It is literally branded in my head & whenever I encounter an obstacle I think I cannot overcome, my willpower prevails & throws my physical problems out the window. 
I began painting again by chance when I was invited to a paint nite. I figured everyone was gonna suck at it too so it's no biggie. I was in a state of true blissfulness & haven't stopped painting ever since. My only regret is that I didn't attempt at it sooner. 
So, get out there & do what you love. Who cares if you're bad at it or do it unconventionally. Go for it - you may surprise yourself because lemme tell you, that feeling of euphoria may not only be electrifying, but you may even inspire someone along the way. 
I may not be able to do the things you do, but I can lose myself for hours & enjoy what I really love. 🎨
(Yes, I did paint this mailbox. No, it's not for sale. 😜)
