what if / why?


What if all I wanted to do is skate for the rest of my life, what if I just stop caring about where and what I have to study for a secured future, what if I don't want to work or manage a business when I grow up?

I don't think it’s impossible to skate for a living in Malaysia; in fact I do have friends who are in their late 30’s and still living of prize money from competitions. They live in small houses and drive small cars and go travelling occasionally around Asia with only flight tickets as sponsorship from the government. So what's wrong with living your passion isn't doing something you love, is what's matters the most? Or is that just what they want you to think? I'm sure you can't tell me that all you dreamed about when you were 14 was to be a lawyer or an accountant. Common' why does it feel wrong to follow your heart? When you know there's nothing wrong with it, why are we scared to tell our self’s that all we want to do is to play football or skate for the rest of our life? Why should we care about what our parents’ think, why should I care of others perception on where I stand financially? Isn't the soul purpose of being wealthy is to achieve happiness? But why must we be wealthy to feel good when we can start living our passion and be rich in joy right away?
