Pursuing Your Passion

If money wasn't an issue what passion of yours would you pursue? Even if it isn't a passion you can call your own, what would you be doing?
As cliché as it sounds, people have turned their passion into businesses and turned up a profit.
There are vloggers, gamers, chefs, among others who have monetized their interests. YouTube and other social media platforms have been their vehicle in getting this done.
Fitness and health, photography, and perhaps sports betting would be some of the things I would have pursued.
What passions will you pursue?

@allen0187 , I learnt it when I was in my school! Having watched a live show of Ventriloquism in an fair , I immediately fall for the art ! In fact I has slight idea about this art , but having watched this art live on the stage , I practically became stunned! I approached the person after the show and after 4 to five years I could pick up the basics of the art from him. There after I prepared my pwn Dummy to perform!
Today I have got family of my dummies with me ! We are about 8 members including me!

Diving. I love the sea so much and without the obstacles, I'd gladly be diving.

That certainly is a great passion.
Are you a certified and licensed diver already sis?

@toniganzon I see.
Anyway, if you can dive without being certified or licensed then good for you.
Guimaras is on my list of places to go to after all of this is over.

@allen0187 Nope. I also didn't have the time for that. There's. a maritime school here that I could go to every weekend. But weekend is definitely a no no for me as it's my busiest and couldn't get out of work. They only offer it during weekends coz it's done in Guimaras Island. There are diving schools in Boracay too.

@LadyDuck people who say money doesn't buy happiness obviously don't know how to spend it.

I'd like to cradle the babies at the orphanage and play with the toddlers. I would tell them stories from the Good Book like Samson with super strength that he defeated a lion. Feels good to see the children wide-eyed.

That is very noble of you. Teaching is such a fulfilling endeavor.
I hope to be able to teach again even if it was only ESL.

@allen0187 I agree. I was into corporate world and fortunately made a lateral shift in my career and landed being an educator. I founded my real passion here.
So you too were a teacher? What is ESL?

Well, you can do just the voice-over and not show yourself or at least not your face.
What topic would discuss in you YouTube channel?
