Chester James Bennington

Life has a way of molding you into what you are often by giving you choices at key moments in your life. You see someone grieving, do you comfort them or walk them by? You see a beggar begging for scraps, do you hand them money or do you feed them? You have been bullied in your childhood, do you bully others or do you turn that anger into something productive?

Chester Bennington, Linkin Park, Charcoal, 2020

Chester was a prime example of someone who survived a rough childhood and turned his life around. He is an inspiration for me and for millions like me all around the world. I grew up listening to his songs and gained strength during some testing times myself.

People usually play a game where they ask you, ‘Which Celebrity would you like to meet or spend a day with?’, Chester was always the answer to that question for me and it is so heartbreaking that I can never fulfill that wish anymore.

Life is not always fair and its not always in your favor but if there’s anything we can learn from his life is that no matter how messed up things get, you can always give it the finger and turn your life around.

Stay strong. Stay Positive. Most of all, stay Connected.

Why should you pursue your passion?

Art comes in many forms, be it a sketch or a painting, someone singing to the tune of Jason Mraz or a writer trying to put his story on a piece of paper. Even though every human being possesses a passion for something in life, most of them end up in a 9 to 5.

Why?

Your parents and the society in general has instilled a fear in your minds since you were little, if you don’t join the status quo you’re doomed to fail in life. This fear holds most of us back from doing what we were born to do – live.

Ever wondered why that one friend is so successful and happy with his life? Why is it so easy for him/her? He/she is earning like crazy while doing what they love, why can’t I have the same thing? The truth is, you can! All we need is some courage to get out of our inhibitions and leave this unreal comfort zone behind.

Taking that first step is always the most difficult one, you have to leave the surety of a constant pay roll, a comfortable way of life and enter a highly unstable, entirely new world. And trust me that’s how you’d feel, it’s a brave new world where you have so much to explore, to gain, to lose. It’s an adventure in itself and once you commit to it, you would love every second of it!

So do not be scared of what the future might hold, if you have passion for something, you owe it to yourself to find out whether it can be more. And if you’re confident enough in your talent, why are you still employed under someone else?
