I've realised something today. I absolutely adore pole dancing. That's nothing new for me. I have always been intrigued by it! But what I have allowed myself to think up until this exact moment is that to be passionate about something you have to be amazing at it. Not true at all. Everyone starts off as a beginner. Some people have more of a talent for things than others. Doesn't make you any less passionate about it. Using pole dancing as an example. My best friend Grace, naturally has tonnes of upper body strength. She flies through each level in pole dancing and is so graceful at it. Me however, it takes me a while longer to get each move sometimes. But I get there in the end. Doesn't mean that I am less passionate about it because my friend has more strength than I do. What makes you passionate about something is the fact that you persist. You are excited to keep going. You see where you need to work on, sometimes it gets you down but you are still excited to see your progress as the weeks go by. There might be times that you want to give up but you don't because it still excites you and you're still really into that particular hobby/thing/career etc. I loveeeee looking at pole dancers on Instagram and YouTube. Sometimes I watch them for hours. Sometimes I go days without watching them. But I love it so much! It makes me excited to get to that level. It makes me want to try harder. To get to a better stage. I realised this when I was watching Instagram videos of other polerinas this morning. They are so amazing, bendy and flexible. Sometimes I have the occasional thought. "I might never get to that level" and it makes me a bit sad. Because I see her/his progress and level as passion. That I'm obviously not as passionate because I'm not at that level yet. But here's the thing... His/Her progress, his/her ability, it is a result of his/her passion That is what I find so exciting!!
