Where does your interest lie?
Thereβs so much we want to become
So much to accomplish
Tons of days and hours to look forward to and live for
Hundreds of meals to eat and dine with those we love and care about

Where does your interest lie?
Through your upβs and downβs
Through those days when the rains will be like the other sun
Through the hot Mondays
As the throat burns itβs way out to your brain, for a drink

Where does your interest lie?
The children
Their cousins and other relatives
Your relatives
Your cousins and neighbours from way back
Friends that weβve made together ever since we got married

Where does your interest lie?
Bettering yourself with the knowledge you didnβt have
Practicing what you always preach in your summons
Sharpening those small skills (as you call them) youβve got, as you have lived on earth
Building unto the bricks that were laid yesterday, for a better future

Where does your interest lie?
In finding someone that loves you
In finding love
In finding somebody to fling around with
In finding someone to enjoy life with forever

Where does your interest lie?
In solving mathematical problems
In mixing up stuff to make fascinating inventions that the world needs to end the HIV for good
In discovering why all our time in school hasnβt shaped much of us into what we hoped to be
In learning why a gun can be very docile and dangerous, at the same time

Where does your interest lie, really?
I’m in the process of starting to blog about my interest. Mental Health awareness and what it’s REALLY like to live with one.
Yyyyaaaaasssss, Gina! I love the sound of that. May I join you on it?
A big hi 5
Thoughtful, made me think about my own life’s pursuits.
Aaaaahhhhh….I’m glad it did, Pius. Thank you for reading and sharing!
Life check
Haha….. if you say so, Moses!
Its good to stop and ponder whether our lives are reflecting where our interests lie. What are we giving our attention to?
Thought provoking post, makes you reflect on your life choices.
Indeed, Daima. Have you reflected on yours?
I am indeed.
Aaaaahhhhhh….excellent, Daima. If you say so.
I think it’s so important to understand where your interests lie. So many times we randomly pursue things others say we should do and really don’t enjoy them ourselves.
ππ true!
I love this. There are so many of us who go through life, and we never actually know what we’re interested in. We know what we do to pass the time, but we don’t ever find out passion.
πππ good to hear!
My interests lie in helping my kids to be good people and growing up to have a better life than I did.
ππππΏππΏ
Now this made me think about my life and the decisions I’ve made throughout. Very thought-provoking post and it’s important to know where your interest lie indeed.
ππΏππΏ Iβm glad to hear that!
This makes me think about my interests and, more specifically, my career. I have been working in accounting/finance for more than 30 years and I am feeling burned out. I think a change would do me good, as I have so many other interests worth pursuing.
ππΏππΏ go for them or it, Bryan!
I feel like my interests lie in so many things. I really love adventure and discovering new things!
ππππΏππΏ good for you!
There are so many things that influence us in our lives, and so many different factors. Our interests can be complex for sure.
πππ©π© right?
Often my interests are something else, but I am not able to do it…
π©π©π© thatβs so sad!
Sometimes it’s better to keep your interests to yourself. So many people try to influence you out of what you enjoy or what you’re passionate about. Loved this think piece of yours!
