Finding your passion isn't as complicated. When you really like doing
something and you feel good about it, that's passion. You're investing
your energy in the right thing. If you like and enjoy taking photos of
nature, even if's not part of your job, that's a passion of yours. You
may have more than one passion. One of my passions is writing. I just
love it.
"Finding your passion" has been portrayed as a long journey of
discovery. While there's some true to it, you don't have to wait years
to know what your passion is. You may not like your job, that's okay. A
lot of people don't. Your job doesn't necessarily have to be your
passion. Though, you can find passion in your job by helping out
customers and seeing a smile in their faces.
Creativity goes hand in hand with passion. Doing something that you
love, even if it requires a tremendous amount of strategic thinking and
analysis, energizes you. Doing something that you don't love depletes
your energy, even if it's an easy task like formatting a report. You
don't need to find passion because is already within you; you need to
awaken it.
Passion doesn't imply that you love everything that you do in life. If
it were so, the world would be upside down, and everybody will be
singing and jumping up and down. Your passion may also be misplaced. You
may think that climbing the corporate ladder is your passion to only
find out that when you get to the top, it's not what you expected it to
be - you don't like it and don't enjoy it.
However, through the journey of climbing the corporate ladder, you found
out what you don't like. That's a good start to find out what you do
like. Once you do, start working on those things. They don't have to be
big and glamorous things. If you like taking pictures as a hobby - and
you're really good at it - you may find that your hobby can add value to
your job and vice versa.
If you work as a marketing manager and use images for campaigns and
promotions, you can build a door of opportunity there. Instead of
outsourcing images, you can talk to your boss about the possibility of
working out a deal where your images (photos) are used instead. You may
not like all aspects of your job, though you can add new aspects to your
job-- aspects that you like.
See the bright side of things. It's not always as bad as you think.
Tapping into your passion can help you be successful; once you identify
one or two things that you just love and could do for the rest of your
life, you have totally awaken your passion. It's a process, you have to
try things, stick to them for a while, reflect on what you enjoy the
most and what isn't boring or tiring to you.
Passion energizes you. It drives you to do things that fulfill you and
give meaning to your life. If you're not happy with where you are now,
take courage. Situations in life are temporary, you won't be there all
the time. Tap into the power of your passion. Start from within and bring out the very best in you. The time is now, not tomorrow, or until you get your MBA or your next promotion
Look no further, your passion is there inside of you. What would you do
if money were not issue? You may find key answers in your response.
Passion isn't about titles or money. Although, your passion can bring
these things to your life. The point is not to get distracted. Focus on
what matters most to you, there rest will follow if you put your heart
into it.
What is your passion?
