There
is a lot written and spoken about passion. How to find your true passion? Only
passion makes your life meaningful? If you have not found yet, keep looking for
it, searching for it. Don’t we think that passion is very much hyped and given
unnecessary so much importance. Why is it so? When we see celebrities in sports,
entertainment industry, Politics and in other fields we think that they must
have followed their passion that is why they are on the top. We also want to be
like them. We also want to be successful. But biggest problem comes along the
way that we don’t know our passion.
Why
do we struggle so much to find out our passion? Actually, people look for
passion in activities. They try to find out in dancing, writing, playing guitar
and so many other activities. However they don’t realize that passion is not
about what activity you do, it is all about the under laying feelings which you
feel in passion.
It
is really good if your passion drives your economy. In most of the cases it is
not, that is why people keep struggling to make a harmony in life.
First
of all, break the myth that there can be only one activity in which you can find your passion. So stop
trying to find your passion in activities and look deep down inside yourself
what actually makes you happy. There can be multiple things which can make you
happy. Ultimately, at the end, happiness matters, this is what everyone is
looking for.
If
you are a good software engineer and you don’t enjoy coding, but you feel great
when you get applauded and praised for your work. So it means you might not be
much interested in coding but when your work gets recognized you get motivated
and feel satisfied. So if similar feelings you get in some other activities you
will keep enjoying your life.
Your
passion may be helping others, because when you help someone you find meaning
in your life. Your passion may be trying new things, today you might be
interested in managing a team but after few years down you might want to start
some new business, and again after some years you might want to open your own
non profitable organization.
Someone
can have passion for life, since that person enjoys and gets surprised with
each and every moment of life. That person enjoys a beautiful sunrise, a marvelous mountain, and a healing touch from her/his beloved.
Your
passion can be teaching. However some people think that if a big deal of money
and fame is not associated with you work then it can’t be a passion. They are
wrong. Passion is what you decide for yourself, not decided by others, because
it is related to your life, your internal peace and your values.
If
you enjoy recognition, fame , limelight, awards, praise then make sure it
should be the by-product of your passion, so that even when you don’t get these
you must be fulfilled and contented.
