Passions give us purpose, but more than that, they make us feel that we have purpose in our lives. In-fact we have a responsibility to make it count. We owe it to those around us, those who look up to us as role models (be that friends, family or children). And more than anything, we owe it to ourselves. Because when we get to the end of our lives, these are the questions we’ll ask ourselves. Did I spend my life wisely? Did I contribute positively? Did my life have meaning? #life #passion #lifepurpose #followyourheart #bewhoyouare #dowhatyoufeel #yoga #puuryogamama #puuryoga #me #myfather #motivation #instamotivation (bij Puur-Yoga)

Writing Isn’t A Real Job

I would be a billionaire if I got a nickle every time I heard that sentence. 

When I started to write - and I mean knew writing was my calling so I never had a notebook out of my sight - I was around 13 years old. The thrill I got from creating a world that only I knew the intricate details of and could choose what I wanted to share with my readers couldn’t be compared to anything else in my life. I loved having people read my work and tell me what they enjoyed or what I could improve on. Ink was my blood and words were my breath but when I told my parents I wanted to be a writer when I grew up they said.

“Writing isn’t a real job.”

So, since I was at the age where I believed adults knew everything I stirred my attention towards education. I took what I loved from writing, which was... well writing and sharing to work my way towards becoming an English teacher. In high school I had good teachers and difficult teachers. The good ones were the one’s that saw and embraced the fact my life revolved around the written word. When my friends and I would eat lunch I would be typing away on my laptops and when I was done taking notes in class I would go back to drafting my novel. I had teachers that engaged me in conversation, listened to me talk about the book I was one day going to publish, and was guided by those that could see my passion. I also had difficult teachers who took away my laptop or took my notebooks that told me I should focus on tangible goals, not fantasy. I should focus my attention on my academics and my mind towards ‘a real job’.

I graduated high school with honours and went to a university 16 hours away from my hometown. I studied psychology and English with a base in Education for grades 8-12. I didn’t write much those years. I had been convinced I had to get a real job and writing wasn’t it. For five years I worked on a degree that I turned into my new passion. My computer files holding the world I created and the book I said I’d always publish went untouched. My notebook once filled with character designs and backstory was not riddled with assignments and psych notes to review for an exam. 

When I graduated from university with the skills and knowledge to get myself a ‘real job’ it appeared that my Education degree was nothing but a fantasy. No one would hire me. An English/ Social Science teacher was one of the most common teachers and those that wanted to teach had to leave Canada or work on a Reserve. Both were tangible options offering worldly experience but I had a partner who had a job and family that I didn’t want to leave behind. So, I tried my hardest to find work.

As I slipped into a depression, believing like many my age that I failed somewhere along the line I realized I did. All my life there was one thing I loved doing. One thing that I never looked at as work and that I always tried to improve upon. I was 23 years old and it was then I realized that I did fail. I failed to listen to myself. I failed to listen to my heart and where it was trying to guide me. I had listened to all these people telling me that ‘writing isn’t a real job’ that I believed them and forgot the one thing I knew I could do.

Writing is a real job. It connects us to our past and gives us hope for the future. Words carry emotion and teach us lessons. Authors share stories that inspire, educate, and motivate future generations. Books help us escape the world we live in and show us that anything is possible. Writing isn’t easy. There are hours spent typing, editing, planning, rewriting, scrapping, and hoping. You will cry, suffer, laugh, and love for your work. There will be people that will tell you what you’ve written isn’t good enough and what you’re doing isn’t real work. 

They are welcome to their opinion. They can say whatever they want about the work I do or the books I publish. All I’ll tell them is, ‘ Ink is my blood and words are my breath. Writing is my life and it is a real job to me.’

Madonna is one of the most respected artists in the World and that’s not for a foolish reason. She’s one of the most engaged pop musicians and songwriters of all time. “Beat Goes On” is one of her powerful songs that reminds me we should embrace our own selves with proud and honor and that one of the biggest mistakes we can make is to lack presence and voice in the World. Each and everyone of us are unique and as Madonna says: You don't have the luxury of time / You have got to say what's on your mind / Your head lost in the stars / You'll never go far (No time to lose) / It's time for you to read the signs! Say what you like, do what you feel / You know exactly who you are / The time is right now / You got to decide / Stand in the back or be the star! So my friends, let’s go out there in the jungle of life and be whoever we wanna be! There is no time to waste. Be present. Be relevant. On and on the best goes! #inspiration #selflove #selfrespect #beyourself #SayWhatYouLike #DoWhatYouFeel #TheTimeisRightNow #BeRelevant #BeatGoesOn @madonna #musiclife (em São Paulo, Brazil)

Book by Angelos Michalopoulos "TWO TRUTHS AND A WALL IN BETWEEN" At the edge of a verdant valley, the ruins of a dilapidated farmhouse lie in the no man’s land between two warring armies that have been mercilessly fighting each other for some months now. The farmhouse has been completely wrecked, except for a wall right in the middle, the only thing left standing. Two wounded soldiers, cut off from their comrades, a long way from the logic that brought them to where they are and coming from almost diametrically opposed sides of the valley, barely reach the farmhouse seeking shelter, each one on a different side of the wall. Without noticing each other’s presence, they both lie down amid the ruins. Read a sample of my book : https://goo.gl/6Dbxig
