Twarmy and Tweam... Passion, Unity and the Pursuit of Happiness

"No one can tell you what your passionate about.. your heart tells you"

Passion is a glorious and mystical thing. Some say it drives our universe. It can start and realise life long dreams, it can create permanent unions, it can start wars. Shared Passion can create the kind of Loyalty that is so deep and invokes such Unity that life long friendships are made and others broken. Countries Fall, Religions Start, Icons are Made......Passion is God, Devil and the Deep blue sea all in one.

"One mans passion is another mans indifference"

Its also true that your own Passions are yours only. You cannot make someone passionate about something. No such thing as Forced Passion. Its why Communism, Socialism, and Dictatorships always fail in the end. Attempting to make people passionate about something just doesnt work, what works is being passionate about your own beliefs and finding others who share your passion.

But what is also true is that your own passion and belief's can awaken a passion in others. How you go about showing others what your passionate about and why, and how you focus on your own goals, can motivate others to do the same. If it is a shared passion they will join you. If its some other pursuit they will go their own way. The secret is in knowing and accepting this, respecting yourself and your own desires, while respecting the same in others.
People that awaken the passion in others are what I call the truly "Special Ones"... the whole reason this blogger exists is because one of these special people awakened a passion in me.

Joss Whedon, an American Screenwriter, Producer and the creator of Buffy the Vampire Slayer(a Fav of this blogger) summed it up so well.....

“Passion, it lies in all of us, sleeping... waiting... and though unwanted... unbidden... it will stir... open its jaws and howl. It speaks to us... guides us... passion rules us all, and we obey. What other choice do we have? Passion is the source of our finest moments. The joy of love... the clarity of hatred... and the ecstasy of grief. It hurts sometimes more than we can bear. If we could live without passion maybe we'd know some kind of peace... but we would be hollow... Empty rooms shuttered and dank. Without passion we'd be truly dead.”

And Will Smith, a truly inspirational person, has told us.. "be willing to die for your belief's" Then you will know true passion.

So OK, you may be wondering what all this has to do with Twarmy and Tweam. Well it has everything to do about it.

We now have in our world two wonderful and talented young ladies who have a shared passion for creating music, performing and sharing with others. Shontelle and Alexandra are two of the truly "Special Ones" They have created a Unity amoung young people, awakened a passion so strong that even the highest exec's in the Music Industry stand up and take notice. In last nights U-stream Shontelle told us how when the Twarmy got her name in the trending topic "All the Blackberry's were going". They just couldn't believe such a thing could happen. I Imagine the times when the Tweam have had Alexandra's name up there exactly the same thing has happened. People see the Passion, the Unity in Young People, and they take notice. I'm sure it scares them, makes them question their own beliefs and their ideas on how to make things work.

Now the fact is, Shontelle and Alex are close friends, this is well known. They support each other in their own pursuits. And while they have a shared passion... the passion that each of them has is their own.. Their music is their own.... the way they are going about pursueing their own dreams, well that is their own too. Some people will love both, some will love one or the other. But both have awakened a passion in all of us. For each of us, me and you and everyone who has been touched by either one of these young ladies Music and Passion, a unity and loyality to one or too both of them has developed that cannot be ignored or denied. And its something that is good and worthy of praise. Its something that can change our world.

One thing we must all remember is that our own passions, well it is just that. Our own. Believe in yourself, respect yourself, love yourself and your own passions. BUT always remember to respect the same thing in all others. Any time and energy that you spend defending your own passion, criticizing others for theirs, fighting over who is right or wrong. That is a waste of your time and energy, it only creates the sort of things that we all know are wrong. Envy, Hatred, Jealousy, Sadness. Its Passion the Devil. It stands in the way of our Pursuit of Happiness.

I have watched and Observed the interactions between Twarmy and Tweam for a long time. I have seen shared passion, unity, friendships, loyalty. Between young people who are part of one, part of both. I have seen Love and Unity between young people which I truly believe can change the world.

So my message is this. Remember to love each other, just like Shontelle and Alex love each other.
"Love is when you take away the feeling, the passion and you still care for that person”

This is what Shontelle and Alex wanted for all of us, I am certain. #Twarmy4Life #Tweam4Life

The Pursuit of Happiness..... Unity in Young People, Music Changing the World

God Bless You All.
