Passion and calling. These are two different things.
Sometimes one’s passion also happens to be the person’s calling. But most of the time, it doesn’t work that way; they really are two different things.
As you may know by now, I have a huge passion for food, and everything related to it. Be it about restaurants, food editing and media platforms, blogging and vlogging, documentaries, history, food reviews, food culture — literally anything that revolves around food.
It actually made me realize that running a food business and selling food was my calling.
“I guess you can have a passion and a calling for it, both at the same time,” I remember someone encouraging me.
Clearly, that wasn’t the case for me.
I’m happy now that I can still get to enjoy and work around food, but with an entirely different perspective. Who knows where the road would take me.
Sure, people say there’s a lot of stress involved in the food business, but it’s the kind of “stress” that in fact relaxes the nerves and calms me down mainly because I enjoy doing what the work requires, enabling me to happily handle it.
