I've spoken with. People, many people who actually don't know what their passions are or, or they haven't quite identified that yet or, or maybe they like many different things, but they're not sure if they can necessarily call it a passion. Is that something do you think that there was a certain awareness within you from an early age to be able to kind of hone in with such clarity on? This is what lights me up and, and however that may be realized in whatever way. That may be realized. This core thing is what lights me up because also for me, I've been going through. Same as you have going through pivot season, but but you know, when I look back on my life. There's certain certainly a lot of passions that I. I think I would hone in on one. And then I would hone in on another like I, I, I kind of interspersed it in that way throughout my life. And I think where I'm at right now is starting to realize on a deeper level that it's beyond, for example, it's beyond just music or it's beyond just, I don't know, marketing, but it's actually a deeper thing that intrigues me, that's interesting to me and lights me up. And so I'm kind of sort of going through. So I guess I'm just wondering, do you, how did you gain that clarity? Was it just something that you had? Was it the way that you were taught your household? So as an artist growing up. I could sit. And paint for hours. I remember one moment where I had won this competition a few years in a row and submissions for this next year needed to be submitted by the end of the week and I didn't have any piece that was strong enough, I felt, to submit and win. And I remember saying to my mom like stressed, like, I'm not going to win this year because I don't have anything that's good enough. And and I said, but I want to do this like I have this in my mind and I want to get it to canvas. And she let me stay home from school. And in one day. I. Hours, hours, hours, hours, hours. And it's just there. And so then as an adult, you start to learn language around those things. You're like, ohh, you were in a flow state. I didn't know at the time that like I was in a flow state, but like I could get into that and I could spend hours doing it. Same thing with athletics and like with health and Wellness, like I could, I could go out and train for forever. I could go and run for forever. And so I think as you're, as you're trying to identify, what are the things that you're passionate about? Sometimes we can mistake our hobbies for passions and the way that I would try to distinguish those things is like a hobby is something that you are interested in for like let me just go to you know. Home Depot buy something and and build it this weekend and it's done and it's like over. Passions are something that like, if you can't get it out, it it burns inside like it must come out in some way and it, and it needs to like emerge and you hit that flow state where it's hours and it, and it just like consumes you emotionally, even sometimes physically, like you are consumed by it. If you as you're working on it or if, or if the if you can't work on it, it really like, you know, sits in there. And so I think sometimes that's where people get get stuck where they're like, I don't know what I'm passionate about. Have all these like hobbies. And so then the question is like, what are you so passionate about that if you can't do it, it keeps you up at night? Or what are the things that you could dive into? And you look at the clock and you're like, Oh my gosh, five hours has passed and you didn't even realize it.
