hi everyone this is sahil labhshetwar 2nd year(age 21) engineering student at IIT.
I Like painting and playing basketball. I would like you to read it till the end and a sure you will not regret as many of you are going through same shit.
Like many i am from a middle class family. I have been to a decent school i was a average student there because never had passion for studies. But somewhere i knew that i had more than average aptitude and IQ. But was to lazy to do anything except for eating watching cartoons, and playing . i have spent most of my childhood enjoying and with no worries. I loved playing basketball, i started playing because my crush was in the girls team. (she was very pretty and cute. not was is! ill talk about that later). I was also then selected in the under 17 boys team.
Everything was going very good.But time has to change and it did. my grades were falling drastically . I remember it was my 9th standard , and i think that was end of my childhood and all the innocence i had . My dad said he wanted to talk with me i knew something was wrong . he said in very polite way " sahil your grades are showing that you are not interested in studies , is there something else you want to do in life or maybe you are good at something else?" i had no answer because i had never thought about it nor i was extremely good at something. so i just shook my head to say no. then he left saying nothing and that left me thinking. i started thing about want i really want to do in life but still was not that serious.
Now let me come to the girl i was earlier taking about, i had and still have a huge crush on that girl but she never gives a fuck about it. She is very pretty and kind and the main thing that makes here special is that she reminds me of my mom she it not the type who are just interested in the materialistic world. Even simple text from here makes my day. But it is hell lot of pain when you like someone and they don't like you back. I still have hope that someday ill end up with here, but don't know how and when or maybe not , these thoughts leave me reckless at times .(i seriously mean that reckless).
know moving to my 10th grade , i did very well and had my photo in the local newspaper.
I still dint find my passion so decided to continue doing my studies , my parents wanted me to get selected in the IITs which are one of the most prestigious college in India . every year 16 lac people give the entrance and only few thousands are selected.
So i stared to prepare for that and worked my ass off for the next two years i don't from were did i get that determination (maybe be because my mom wanted to see me in the IITs) , and i did well and was selected . That was one of the happiest day of my life.
Now here i am in the second year writing this post to earn something on steemit . still confused about what i want to do in life or what is the thing that i am passionate about that i wont feel like i am working while i am doing that nor i get tiered doing it. (ONE THING I KNOW THAT IS EATING ;) HAHAHA...). Somethings really leave me confused at time and they are follows (i expect answers )
- what kind of people are those who love animals but are non-vegetarians. (I am one of them)
- what is the ultimate goal of life.
- Is there something like right or wrong ? or its just the perspective. For example terrorist kill humans and the butcher kills animals. this seem very nonsense to most of you but if you give it a good thought it is not.
Enough of the philosophical stuff!
still looking for my passion.......! don't know when will i find my passion or not even sure will i ever find.
here are some of my photos.
!
Way to go Engineer! :)
thank you very much for going through. @mosheheart
Hi Sahillabh! You sound like many people who are still trying to find their passion. I guess in a way, that is life's journey to find yourself. Some people find their passion very quickly while others have not. But I can assure you that one day when you least expect it, you'll have a moment of enlightenment and find something that you really care about. You are young and have a lifetime ahead of you.
I wish you all the best in Steemit. At first it is hard because you have to buildup a reputation so people will follow you. You should write what you know and love. If it is animals, you should do that. If it is finding your life's journey, maybe you can share what you are doing to find a passion. I think your introduction was sincere and honest so it was a great start!
Be true to yourself and you will get far. Good luck and best wishes for success in Steemit. Also good luck in your studies. You are very lucky to have the opportunity to have good education because knowledge is so powerful!!! :D
hey thank you for such an honest and thoughtful reply , i am so glad that you went through my story. ya hopefully ill find my passion real soon . thank you so much once again. @cabbagepatch
I know you will find your passion and once you do you will soar and find inner happiness. It sounds like you have very good parents who want the best for you. Never take that for granted. Try to stay grounded and keep focusing on your inner growth, inner peace and reach for happiness and joy. Again stay real @sahillabn! :D
I will always remain grounded, thank you once again for such love @cabbagepatch .
Interesting questions that you ask:
"what kind of people are those who love animals but are non-vegetarians. (I am one of them)" - People are so brain washed to eat animals from birth, they just don't consider it animal cruelty and don't want to see the suffering that animals go through in mass animal farming and slaughter.
"what is the ultimate goal of life" - to live in love, truth and integrity and enjoy sharing with like minded souls!
"Is there something like right or wrong ? or its just the perspective." - There most definitely is right and wrong and people not knowing and FEELING what is right and what is wrong is why humanity is in such a bad place.
When people can FEEL DISCERNMENT and know right from wrong and only choose right then life and humanity will really shift.
As for finding you soul purpose - follow your heart and what you're passionate in. Are you passionate about stopping animal abuse? Keep asking questions and the answers will flow to you.
it was really very nice of you to answer may questions. And i must say i agree with your opinions. maybe yes i am passionate about stopping animal abuse, thank you for suggesting that maybe deep in i knew but was not aware. thank you for showing such love and interest in reading my post.
You're welcome sahillabh.
Life will be more fun following your passion, so feel what feels right, good, fun and worthwhile to you.
