Your Interest Can Shape Who You Become

Before I got interested in makeup and blogging, I had no idea of what my hobbies were or even could be. I was lost and complaining about every wrong thing happening in my life. At the time, my hobbies included watching TV and sleeping (which I still do) but I always knew in the back of my head it had to be more to life than this. TV and sleep encouraged my laziness and lack of wanting more for my life. I’m not saying that TV and sleep are bad interest to have. I am saying that if those are your interest, find other ways to make them more beneficial to your life. Start a blog or a YouTube channel that amplifies your interest to another level. This promotes networking, more active use of your brain, and keeps you with a more positive reflection of yourself. 

When I first start thinking about I liked to do I realized I had no interest at all. Yep, it was me the one who like to sleep and watch TV. Someone very important in my life asked me, “What I liked to do?” and I said I like watching TV and sleeping. They asked, “Is that it?” At that point, I realized I needed to figure out something that would spark my interest more than just TV and sleeping. I realized I had become lazy and wasn’t using my skills to the fullest potential. Here I was, a college graduate with no spark happening in her life. I knew that it was something I loved doing, WRITING. I had been thinking about blogging for a long time before I got the courage to actually do it. I would journal about everything, good and bad, that was happening in my life. Once my relationship with God started blossoming, it was then I knew I wanted to encourage others to become the person they have always wanted to be. 

The makeup interest came out of nowhere. I literally started watching YouTube videos and learning the techniques of how to perfect makeup looks. It was then when my interest turned into my passion  which has ultimately grew to an obsession of loving makeup. 

The thing I want you to get out of this article is to figure out what your desires and passions are out of life and go for it. Yes, you will fail, get discouraged, lose focus, lose faith and everything in between but just remember that if it makes you happy, that is all that really matters.
