Passion Vs. Poverty

I don’t think there’s a direct connection between passion and poverty because passion is something that anyone can have and poverty is what society describes as being in the condition of not having much money. However, having money in this country lets one have more experiences because some things must be bought. Any person can have passion, but it’s unfortunate that in order to make dreams come true, money gets involved. If a rich person has the passion for traveling, it’ll be so much easier for him to achieve. If a poor person has the same passion, this person has to work harder for it and might delay these dreams. 




People have a choice with what to do with their passion, but what’s more important that pursuing that passion is surviving in this world that we made. The world we made includes corporations and workers. In order to survive, you need to work because work is what generates money and money is what will buy your essentials of living: food, water, shelter, clothes, etc. The problem is some people do have jobs, but it’s still not enough to pay the bills. There are bills or school, health, modes for transportation, house, electric, water, and other little bills that add up. These bills that keep piling up are paralyzing people or delaying them from pursuing their passion. 



Some people don't let road blocks stop them from getting what they want. They have motivation that fires them up and never let the fire from dying. It almost seems so easy for those people. However, not everyone has that inner motivation. Some people don't know how to find that motivation or just don't know where to start. It's hard when nobody is there to guide us like when we were younger. I think people need an accountability partner for certain things like chasing after goals. Having one will keep them in check and encourage them to push through because the end result will be so sweet. That little push of encouragement can go a long way.
