"Allow Your Passion To Grow." Shazi. 


As I close my eyes and drift away to a land where there is love, health, peace, and blessings. I wanted to take the time to think and reflect.

     The Houston Astro's have won the World Baseball championship!!! :) To tell you the truth, I loved cheering for our home team, every game. It was as though Houston had arrived in our living room, with a gathering of thousands of fans. It was a great feeling to share and become a part of a collective, with the winning, and the festivities that are taking place. I have to admit there is a withdrawal feeling. I think a lot of fans will probably feel the same way. Nevertheless, we are grateful for this win for the city of Houston. As the spirits rise, joy, happiness, will be shared through the city. This is truly wonderful after the hurricane devastation. Houston you deserve to celebrate, claim happiness. This is our time to shine Houston.

     As I mentioned in my previous posts, I also wanted to reiterate that of course we must cheer for our teams, at times there are tense moments and frustrations, but we must also play united for America. Acts of terror should not divide. And above all it is the country, and nation that is our common ground. Acts of terror should never serve as reminders that we should stay united as a nation. We need to embed this idea in the heart to remind ourselves, regardless of political views, beliefs, or ideology, the protection of human life, and the safe guarding of our nation is of the highest priority. These thoughts can also be transferred to the global level as well.

     This is probably why I stayed. What I mean about why I stayed, is why I stayed in Education, to continue to learn. Not because I don't value skills, crafts, or other fields of study, because I do. There is value in everything, in what anyone desires to do. But the carving of an individuals path probably stems, and grows from interests. Although I have found ways to express my skills, and crafts, I have found that nothing is separate. As we continue to grow, we realize that we cannot separate the self from what we desire to become, and our skills and crafts.

     The field of Higher education is one where there are challenges. Probably more challenging for the human being who has a higher level of creativity. This is probably why some of the greatest minds decided to leave education and their studies. But it is also why I decided to stay. Creativity deserves attention. New ideas need to be embraced and also challenged for the purposes of contributing to social good and innovation. When individuals say that their ideas are of value, and stay to research their areas of interest, they are not just adding value to themselves, but also on behalf of the individuals, or groups that have faced struggles, challenges, and decided to leave the field.

     Getting someone to hear, embrace, or even believe in the value of your ideas is tough. But it needs to happen if you want to continue to research, or stay in the path of higher education. The struggles should not posit that it is not possible. Everything is possible. Sometimes it will mean finding new roads, paths, widening of horizons. Making room for new choices, and allowing your passion to grow. Sometimes it will mean asking questions: how far will you go to believe what has been placed in your heart, to achieve the dreams that you desire? Nothing is impossible, the very word includes possible. The Houston Astros win exemplifies my thoughts, and should also serve as a reminder, with hard work, dedication, and belief, we can shine! :)
