Why it is important to follow our passion
Recently during a discussion I was surprised to see
when people were asked about the interest, they were thinking hard what
interest they have. Are we so engrossed in our professional life that we can’t
find time for ourselves and enjoy what we really love!!
Every Dream
realized has sprouted from Passion.
We all know that if we follow our passion we will be
able to find the true meaning of life and will enjoy our journey towards life. It’s
pleasure to do the things if we are passionate about it. We will never feel it
like a work rather we will enjoy it and have fun to do those tasks. If we at
least try to do things related to our interest then it will reflect in our life
as well. We will be happy and do things
with more interest and concentration.
As a kid we never know what we really want to do and
we enter in a profession which can pay us more $ in our pocket. We always look
how to have a decent income. Since childhood I want to be a Pilot but as I grew,
I got busy in day to day life, earning more, more and more…. But even today
when ever I sit alone and think thought keep crossing my mind what if I were a
Pilot? That’s the hollow space I am going to carry throughout my life. Then I
realized what it really means “Follow your Passion”.
Think about your school experience. We lose track of
our passion as our system is like that. Like in a collage if we are good on
some subject we will put less effort on that. We will be more focused on the
subjects in whom we get fewer grades. Because we have to pass every subject. We
loose track of what we really love. If we
follow our interest we will have a feeling of self achievement.
How to find
your passion:
Following passion can be a tough thing. But figuring out what that
passion is can be even more elusive.
Think about what you do when ever free do you like
to read a fashion magazine or do you like to sing or play some instrument. That
will help you to find out what your interest is. Dig into how you spend your
time. Think about what excites you. When it comes to spend time what comes in our
mind. Passion is something which comes naturally to you. You do not need to put
any effort in doing that, you are naturally good at that. Passion is something
for which you can wake up early in the morning.
Your choices of interest must be based on what you
like and not what you know. To understand what you really interested in you
need to create new experiences. You will never be able to find your interest
just by sitting on a couch. If you are passionate about sport then try to play
new sports go for matches or try different type of games. Visit stadiums to
have new experience.
List down all your interest and brainstorm to find
out what you really love to do out of them. Ask your friends what you are good
at.
Give it a try first : You may be passionate about a interest for a few days,
but where rubber meets the road, real test is at that point. See if you’re
passionate about it for few months. If you pass this test, you have probably
found it.
Time to act and NOT think:
We know what we like and we keep pushing that backward
by giving argument to our inner self that when I have time I will pursue my
interest or when I have money then I will fulfill my passion / Dream. We go for
movie, we sleep extra hours but we don’t have time for our interest. People
always think that interest is not there primary goal. But that’s what makes you
happy so how come that’s not your primary goal. Primary goal of life is to be
happy and we can’t spend few hours for that. Just think about it!! ..
What should
you do now?
If you could do one thing to transform your life, find
your Passion. Leave below in the comment
what interest you have and what you going to try to figure out your
passion.
