“Passion is energy. Feel the power that comes from focusing on what excites you.”
– Oprah Winfrey
In order to do well at anything do you just need to work hard or must you have passion for what you want? What exactly is passion? What does passion mean to you? When I think of passion it’s has nothing to do with romance. Passion is that love and I mean real love of something that as said in the quote excites you. It’s about what you love not what others have indicated you should love. Is it even easy to focus on your passion. What happens when your passion is your hobby and one that doesn’t make any money. Does it make sense to focus on that passion in that situation? Or is it simply just allowing yourself to be happy. Does you passion make you happy? Let me know what you consider to be your passion. Do you make any money from what you consider to be your passion? Does it matter or is it just about being excited and happy?
When I ask persons if their passion is how they make their money I usually get no. What about you? Do you make money from what you love? I can think of a few persons that absolutely love what they do. Some have told me that if they were to try making money from their passion they would starve. Could it be because what makes you happy very often is not what others would want to spend their money on? Sometimes it is that you love doing things that are seen as none essential by members of society? Do you continue doing what you have a passion for knowing that it’s for your peace of mind and about no one else’s. Is it that we have to ensure our mental health is what we focus on without allowing anyone else to stop you from doing what you want and/or like doing?
When I think about the things that I’m passionate about I see that they make me happy. I love history especially political history but alas it has nothing to do with what I do to make my living. Should I therefore give this up and focus on IT? I think not as one is a means to an end and the other helps me to see the big picture and keep grounded. They seem to be at different ends of the spectrum but does it even matter? What I do for pleasure and what I do for gain in my mind doesn’t have to coincide at all. What do you think?
Let me know as I really want to know what you are thinking, and I know others do too. Try commenting 👍🏽, but if you are not comfortable, reach out to me via any medium. Your comments let me know how you feel and very often give me a total different perspective on the topic. 😉. And you can never tell your comment might help others.
