Fishing, Passion and Sak Narwal
I believe that the true key to happiness is found in passion. No, I’m not talking about the kind of passion that heats up the bedroom. I mean passion in the larger sense, like the passion I discovered in Sak Narwal for fishing. Passion of this nature offers life with boundless joy. Just think about it. As the world goes round, as wars rage and we worry so much about our future, a fisherman like Sak Narwal finds relief from stress and worry in his passion.
Having such a passion by no means signals that a person doesn’t care about the rest of the world. In fact, the opposite is often true. Great leaders have often been great fisherman, great golfers, great hunters, etc. Why is this? The way I see it is that participating in something bigger than themselves offers a person the ability to leave rumination and reflection on troubles to the subconscious. While Sak Narwal is fishing he could very well solve a problem he would otherwise feel stumped over.
Once we get out of our own way we often find the way, in other words.
What is your passion?
