Phenomenal article!
A university education (specifically in the sciences), by its nature, directs an individual toward formula and pre-determined structure and away from any ability to create.
The reason: I'm not sure. . . probably too many to name
It is a developed and mature human being who can see past this structure to find an art in education.
I'm not sure that I'm that person. . . yet
Passion
This is why we do what we do. Without passion, there may as well be no purpose; for a purpose that does not encite passion is no purpose worth having.
How to channel passion into a daily life?
Routine is my enemy
Every moment is sacred and so should be embraced with unending passion, reverence and joy. It is a fantastic gift to be given each moment and all that is sacred within it. It is a far more rare gift to be able to appreciate this.
What am I passionate about? I recite it every day. . .
The pressure I put on myself was related to an overcoming of passion by the immature desire to prove something or to succeed.
Success is doing what my purpose demands of me with the passion that it deserves.
