<strong>ST</strong>: Why did you call this photoshoot<br />
“Passion is Everything”?<br />
GC: We all have something that makes us feel alive, a passionate<br />
pursuit that adds a little extra meaning to our lives, an activity that fires<br />
us up inside and gives us a sense of fulfilment and purpose. If you are<br />
unsure of what that might be yet, I would recommend that you choose<br />
the hobbies, careers and pastimes that excite you the most because<br />
those are the things worth chasing. Those are the things that bring you<br />
closer to your soul, the deepest essence of who you really are. You can do<br />
anything you want in your life as long as you have the passion, the drive,<br />
the focus and the support.<br />
Great dancers, singers, designers, top businessmen, doctors, world<br />
leaders are not great because of their techniques per se. They are great<br />
performers because of their passion and their perseverance to keep<br />
doing what they love and what they are good at and they feel that they<br />
have a great purpose in life.<br />
With this kind of mind-set, I live my life one day at a time, with good<br />
intentions and I follow my dreams one by one. Three years ago I decided<br />
to take a few risks into the unknown, altered my career path and become<br />
a blogger and social media influencer to go with the times. After the birth<br />
of my daughter Luna, I wished to create a lifestyle that would suit me, my<br />
creativity and my personality. I could not work any 9 to 5 job any longer<br />
and with having lots of ambitions to develop myself and provide services<br />
I enjoy, I set up a small award-winning marketing and PR company<br />
GRAZIELLE CAMILLERI. The blogging part came as a natural progression<br />
and I just love what I do! It is a successful blog which brings in more PR<br />
and marketing work and my team always has varied projects to dig their<br />
teeth into. It excites me. I love being challenged. That’s how we evolve.<br />
Always developing something new and adapting to the times.<br />
