Do We Really Need to Choose One Passion When it Can be Many but Unique?

I wanted to be happy

When you were a little kid, what did you want to be when you grew up? It’s one of the most powerful questions for networking. I don’t remember who I wanted to be as a child. Each time my answers changed depending on what fascinated me more day by day.

I wanted to be a designer, writer, actress, astronaut and didn’t understand why I had to choose one thing, because the world is so interesting.

As a result, I visited almost all children’s clubs. I spent 5 years of playing chess, 3 years of martial arts, ​​2 years of art school, 1 year of computer science… and somewhere between these sections, there were classes of guitar, piano, clay modeling, beading, embroidery, and even dancing. Now I understand that my dream profession simply didn’t exist at that time.

Slashers, polymaths, multipotentials

People like me are called “slash people” or multipotentials. For a long time, my various hobbies assured many that I simply didn’t have a focus. Although the question should be, if it is possible to develop in different directions, integrating the accumulated experience into a completely new profession? Isn’t it an advantage over others?

After several years of internal torment under the influence of external factors, I realized that this is the focus, feature, gift. I call myself a creative booster.

I sell my creativity in texts and photographs, helping many to reveal those spiritual aspects that can’t be seen with eyes, sniffed with a nose, or touched with hands. Can you imagine, huh? I visualise it!

Multidimensionality of one’s personality is my area of ​​expertise. I would have never been able to sell my services if I had not felt every facet of this philosopher’s stone by myself.

You may not fully understand what you are doing, but if you follow your heart, then, for sure, you will come to where you should be.

There are no safe paths in this part of the world ©

There are countless roads in the world, and they are all divided into several categories: “roads that dear to your heart” and “roads that you hate”.

It’s funny that these roads are not very different from each other, they are just roads. And none of them leads anywhere if we don’t smear a little bit of our heart on them.

By the way, when you were a little kid, what did you want to be when you grew up?
