Passion is energy. The more passionate you are about yourself, your work, your life, or whatever it is you are doing…the more positive energy you give off. True happiness comes when you do what you are most passionate about.
Passion shapes our existence, fuels the fires of inspiration and opens us up to opportunities and changes around us. Passion is enthusiasm and excitement for life.Passion comes when you are being your authentic self and doing what comes naturally to you I’ve found my passion and I’m living it every single day. And let me tell you –it is so incredibly fabulous to be able to make a living doing what you love.
When I speak of passion, I don't mean it in the romantic way. What I mean by passion is the powerful feeling of enthusiasm we all have inside of us. We are all enthusiastic and passionate about something, whether its finance, food or a favorite sport. That enthusiasm is very powerful. When we can combine it with our work, we are setting ourselves up well for achieving true success.
Passion enables us to overcome obstacles. Whether those obstacles are actual or imagined, with passion you will overcome them and see the world as a place of infinite potential. The power of passion also enables us to have self-confidence, trust ourselves and to take the risks required to live every day to its fullest.
Doing what you love and doing what is in alignment with your purpose, will be the thing that will motivate you to jump out of bed in the morning and look forward to the day ahead. Your work is not “work” because it exciting, rewarding and interesting to you. It’s not a “job” but a passion.
You will find that your work doesn’t seem difficult to you and you put in more hours than the average person because your work hours fly by so quickly. You will often lose track time and be so engulfed in your work. When you are doing what you love, your passion for it is obvious to others and that makes the difference between a rewarding career and a job. If you are unhappy and unfulfilled in your current relationship or job, staying in it will not only continue to make you unhappy, but you are also not allowing yourself the opportunity to realize your full potential.
Dare to imagine what living a life filled with passion is like, dare to imagine the possibilities, dare to live your dream, and dare to actually search for what you love. Know that it is not only a possibility, but a probability to live with passion…if you have the confidence! With confidence and passion, anything is possible!
What you are happy doing is known as what you are passionate about.
WHY PASSION IS IMPORTANT
When we are enthusiastic and proud of the work we do, the better equipped we'll be to overcome the many obstacles that will surely arise in the process of starting a business or moving up in a career. Also, the more enthusiasm we have, the more inclined we are to work harder at improving ourselves. This will allow us to continuously get better at the work we do. The better we get at our work, the better we can get paid for doing it.
Here are a few tips for you to help discover what you are passionate about:
#1 – Determine what are you good at
What are your skills, talents and gifts? There are things that you are naturally good at and enjoy doing. Often people forget about things they excel at because they come so naturally. Think back to when you were younger, as far as you can, to jobs, projects, hobbies. Maybe you always been a good writer, drawer, organizer, creator, builder, teacher, friend? Spend an hour thinking about this and make a list of all your answers.
#2 – Determine what excites you
Is it a part of your job that excites you? Is it a hobby, a side job, something you volunteer your time doing? Maybe it’s something that you do as a spouse, a parent or a friend. Maybe it’s something you haven’t done in awhile. Spend an hour thinking about this and make a list of all your answers.
#3 – What do you spend hours reading about?
When I get passionate about something, I’ll read about it and research it for countless hours. That’s a very good indication of something you could be passionate about!
