There are times when I think about the first days when I got to love the passion I am following right now. I do it to get to feel that spark that caused or started this fire burning inside me. I like to think about those days when everything seemed so dark and hard to cope with.

That light that shone in darkness, so to speak, is the reason why I am alive today. It is the reason why I am happy and optimistic. It is the reason why you are reading this right now.

If you have a time in your life that really defined who you are right now in good ways, then remembering it and thinking about it will serve to keep that passion inside you alive. You remind yourself of who you are and what you want out of life.
