Exploring Your Interests
Subject: Making the Most of Life: A Journey to Purpose
Meet Alex, a college student who felt lost and uncertain about his major. He was enrolled in a business program, but his heart wasn't in it. Alex felt like he was just going through the motions, without any real passion or purpose.
One day, while browsing social media, Alex stumbled upon a photography contest. He was captivated by the stunning images and decided to enter the contest on a whim. To his surprise, he won first prize!
As Alex delved deeper into photography, he discovered a hidden talent and a newfound passion. He began capturing moments on campus, experimenting with lighting and composition, and even started a small photography club.
Through photography, Alex found a sense of creative expression and fulfillment that he had been missing in his business courses. He realized that he had been ignoring his true interests and talents, and that it was never too late to explore new paths.
As Alex reflected on his journey, he realized that he had been trying to fit into a predetermined mold, rather than pursuing his genuine passions. He learned that exploring his interests and talents was essential to finding purpose and happiness.
Ecclesiastes 9:10 echoed in his mind, "Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might..." Alex understood that he needed to pursue photography with all his might, even if it meant taking a different path.
With a newfound sense of direction, Alex switched to a photography major and started building a portfolio. He began taking on freelance projects, capturing precious moments for clients, and even landed an internship with a renowned photographer.
Alex's story teaches us that exploring our interests and talents is crucial to discovering our purpose. By embracing our passions, we can unlock our potential and live a life that truly
reflects who we are.
