#359: Passion - It's A Callling,
Manage episode 479286321 series 3391009
Have you ever experienced that magical moment when time seems to stop because you're completely immersed in something you love? That's exactly what I explore in this deeply personal reflection on passion.
There's something transcendent about loving not just the results, but the entire process of an activity. For me, it happens when I'm writing comedy late at night—from the initial spark of an idea to perfecting the delivery and timing, right through to that perfect moment when the audience erupts in laughter. It's one of the greatest feelings in the universe.
But what makes this exploration particularly interesting is the concept of "jumping railroad tracks" between different passions. When I rotate from comedy to martial arts like jiu-jitsu and judo, something fascinating happens. The physical demands of mastering an Uchimata throw or perfecting a takedown technique give my creative mind space to breathe while still engaging deeply with something meaningful. This mental toggle allows ideas to marinate subconsciously while I'm focused elsewhere—creating a powerful synergy between seemingly unrelated pursuits.
Whether it's the rush of landing a joke perfectly or the satisfaction of executing a martial arts technique that just clicked, these moments reveal what true passion feels like. It's comparable to how a bird might feel in flight or a dedicated runner lacing up their shoes—there's something almost spiritual in it. By documenting these reflections, I'm creating stronger mental imprints that will guide future creative pursuits while hopefully inspiring you to identify and pursue your own passions. What railroad tracks do you jump between? Whatever brings that feeling of complete immersion, get after it—it's one of life's greatest gifts.
