Default Found my true PASSION!

Hey guys.

My true passion is Beat making/producing.

How I know it? I actually WANT to do it.

I'm getting better at producing every second. I really aim to do some major music productions soon. I'm really addicted to beat making/production , arranging different parts in a song, etc.

Here is something I really need to tell yall. If you find your TRUE passion there is no more doubt left about what to do. There is only one thing you want to do. There is only one thing you want to become the best at. And that is your passion.

It lights a fire inside your soul that gives you the power to do things you never imagined. It whispers creativity in your inner ears. Your passion becomes you!

I never thought beat making/production was my "real" thing. I always saw it as something unimportant. Something I could do on the side to earn some extra bucks with. So it became something I had to STOP doing so I could do other things I DID NOT LIKE TO DO! I always thought everything was possible, but I never knew what to do with all those options then. Now I know it...

So whatever you do. DON'T GIVE UP ON YOUR DREAMS!!!

And if you didn't found your passion yet. Be patience. There is something somewhere that holds the match for you inner fire. And when that match reaches your inner fire, there is going to be an explosion of passion that was safely preserved in your soul. Most amazing feeling in the world.

And then my friends, It all just starts!

Greetings

I know it isn't...

Yeah I know what your talking about. Some days I wanted to be a programmer, others I wanted to be secret agent (go figure :-)) and other days I wanted to be an Himalayan meditater! I've tryed everything to get myself to work on all of these 'passions' but none of them feltd like joy. Until I was with a friend watching a concert of Shakira. I was like WAW she is a good performer. And then the fire begun to burn. From that on I knew where I was going!.

I wish you success in finding your passion! Sometimes it's really something you didn't thought of but is something you'd really want to be. Maybe something you did before some time ago, but thought it would be nothing?

Care to share some of your beats? I'm into music producing / beat making too.

The only word I'd like to change here is only one. I agree with you but I don't agree you need to have a single passion. Why would that be a requirement? Who sets the rule that human must have a single passion?

I'm lucky to have three passions:
- music production is my self-expression through art
- web framework development is my self-expression through science
- building web startups is my self-expression through business and communication

Or, these are my mediums; and my message is: Set Higher Standards. (see The Medium vs. The Message).

I love them all and I'm ready to work on them, anytime, anywhere. I keep adjusting my life so that I spend more and more time on these activities because these are all I ever want to do in my life. Probably music's gonna be the one that stays around longer because there's no guarantee the web will exist 20+ years from now.

You are right! That is not correct. It would be a lonely life with only one single passion.

I have put some beats on soundclick

Here is the link

Smile Creativity and passion

Wow! Go for it. What you are doing sounds great, Niki. To do something you love and get paid for it as well is the new paradigm for healthy happy living. To create, and express with passion is uplifting and inspiring for everyone around us.

I make beats too....I post some of them later

But I stopped for awhile because school is killing me....and my passion for Hip-Hop has declined because a lot of rappers and producers today belongs in the trash bins.

I would love to hear some of your beats!

About that "because a lot of rappers and producers today belongs in the trash bins" thing.

You can see it as an opportunity to change the game! If you don't like it, you can still do your own thing.
