Passion verses Privilege

What's the difference between Passion and Privilege?


The difference between these two concepts varies in many different ways, meaning there could be more than one answer for this. Passion is something you love to do, you desire to do, something that just comes naturally because you love it so much. Were as privilege is something that cant be seen, in fact it's the complete opposite of passion. Privilege can be seen as something that you have or it could be anything of value, meaning who you are individually. For example your religion could be a privilege or even how you were brought up in this world, meaning your class. Those are things that could be considered examples of privilege. another example between these two concepts is that passion comes naturally, because it's something you love to do and you do it alone, like being your own leader, yet privilege is something that you end up doing because other's are as well, like following the leader instead of being a leader. So the difference between them two is, being a leader verses being a follower. when you lead you follow your own heart and mind. when you follow you not only following someone else's heart and wishes but your not standing for what you as the individual believes in. Like they say, if you don't stand for something you will fall for anything.
This quote in the beginning from Ray makes sense to this, "in order to love life you have to find your passion; you have to find what truly makes you happy and when you find what truly makes you happy you gata chase after it; you gata take those risks." He's saying in order to enjoy life, you first must find your passion and when you find your passion you will then have to continue chasing after it, and thus taking risks which could lead you in the wrong path or the right path, sometimes you have no choice to do certain things especially when your only trying to succeed and become a better person and be bale to help the next individual find themselves as well. This is where both passion and privilege could have some sort of connection, meaning to find your passion you have to take risks' these risk's could damage you or help you and that's what privilege does at times, not knowing what the outcomes is could be detrimental, but you do it anyways to help you determine your next step in success and or your desire and passion for your life. Something like that.




Just like Photography, we develop through the negatives & together come up with a theory that we all develop differently but yet were all looking for our life's purpose and figure out our passion and develop thorough these many obstacles we face and become a success in life!

Passion

Passion; Explore it, Go for it, let it flow!

Watching this movie gave me a lot of insight about my future and who I am and what my passion truly is and my struggle thorough it all. I will never forget the first time my best friend s mom asked me, "Stephanie have you found yourself?" I laugh about it all the time, but it was true, she was just curious if i found my passion for life. it's like you have to know what desires you have each day you wake up. what drives you into this world with many ideas and career's. It definitely took me a long time to figure it out until one day a friend ask me, "Steph why don't you look into Photography, your always taking pictures." I thought that might be a good idea and i should look into it, and now I've been doing Photography for 5 years now and still pursuing my career and now thinking of combining graphics design with it as well. I never thought I would doing what I am doing today, but truthfully if you figure out what your strengths and weakness are in life you should be able to pin point your passion and the rest should follow and flow like it was second nature.
