Life Lessons Episode 23: Driven by Passion

Life Lessons w/ Cresta Durojaiye

This week I want to share with you a testimonial that encouraged me to keep going on the lane of walking in purpose. I hope it does the same for and perhaps even more.

A few weeks back I was on a video call with a special big sister friend of mine. It was late at night but she still sounded excited and full of life, like her day was just starting. She was “Bright-eyed and Bushy-tailed” Her adrenaline was pumping high, she just couldn’t shut down for the night, even though it was late. She said to me, “Cresta let me show you what I have been up to”. You may not know it but I have been following your posts and listening to your podcasts. I remember you encouraging us to find and follow our passion and guess what? I have been doing just that. I have been following my passion and it’s amazing how much I thoroughly enjoy doing it.

She turns her phone to an open closet full of loads and loads of fabric that she’s been blinging at home, all by herself. I was in awe. I could both see and hear the spark in her eyes and voice. Wow! She said to me again. Cresta, I can’t sleep, I don’t feel like sleeping at all, I can do this all night. Infact even when I sleep, I can’t wait to wake up. I look forward to winding down for the day and coming over here to face this. It’s my passion. It gives me unspeakable joy. I can do this non-stop.

I was like, YES! YES!! YES!!! This is exactly how it should be when you discover your passion or purpose. This right here is the perfect narrative for walking in purpose and I share more about it in this episode of LIFE LESSONS.
