How much energy/intensity/Tolerance can you put towards your life if you don't have passion?
Though I haven't take a major step to anything I love doing at the moment but there is something like fire burning in my heart telling me that I have to fulfil the purpose of me on earth.The fire can't just leave me or stop.So, I have already make up my mind to go for them though m waiting for the right time to come which I suppose is so near.(That's when I graduate anyhow*With God Grace*)
See the question above? Today I was thinking of passion to the extent of asking myself that question.I think of many angles of passion especially of pretty good number of artists to a great degree of musicians , who some of them don't have passion for music but they enrol in the world of music regardless .Some of them are striving for fame/publicity and others for money in order to cater their short term needs. You will notice this,After one single or an album and after they get what they want they become so dry and stop chasing what they call passion.Why? because they didn't have real passion in the first place .Clearly,For someone with passion even if he earned loads and loads of millions, money will not simply stop him from pursuing what he loves.
I learn one thing that Passion never dies.Passion will never be distracted by money and there is no way You can just fake passion?No way?either you posses it or not at all.
Passion is real.Passion will make sure that your journey towards your dream remains burning even in bad and self doubt times .Therefore, You have to dig deep down your being and discover things that you are absolutely enjoy doing.
So what should you do,basically?
Abandon the attachment to time- let your passion flow itself.Never worry about time cause that will force you to act desperately and worse enough to the things that you aren't passionate about.If you have a passion then take your time to let it grow.Also, take a note that you can't achieve everything within a day.Patient , focus and concentration is almost needed.Take an example of David Tlale , the famous designer from South Africa, after discovering his passion for fashion and after showcasing few of his works and won new talent prize, he waited for 5 years to establish the brand without supplying his design to anyone.Gosh!see him now, he is the one of the best designers in SA.Surely,Persistence pays.
Don't let Money striving destruct Your Passion-striving for money and passion are pure enemies or two different things.Just like water and hot oil if You know what I mean.This point is so essential even to people who are not yet find their passion .If You are doing something just for the sake of money then You won't get anywhere..Cause if fortunately you got money, you will left behind all you so called Passion since it wasn't your call.If you have passion,Money won't stop you to dream big and big.Passion will forever illuminate you and make you happy but not money.I believe people got more than one passion.So, Don't ever restrict yourself unnecessarily , let the power of your passion lead you to where you are suppose to be.
Don't Let other People Paths to become Your Path-I had problem with this one.I was nearly to loose my identity because of following what my siblings, friends were clinging to.I forgot that I have my own way of becoming who I am and not as Juma ,Matthew and Dorice either.Just some few months ago I realised that many paths i followed before were depending on other people paths.I just couldn't make my own which is totally bad.So,presently m in the process of establishing my own path.Remember,We are all have unique paths so don't let their path to become your path cause when they will give up ,mess up and fail, you will definitely do the same thing.
Renew Your Passion Frequently-As I said above, we all passionate on some things.However, don't dwell on individual or single passion because sometime in future it might change. Consequently, don't depend on one passion for future success.For example, if you have passion for wrestling, when you get older you will not able to wrestle any more though the passion will strongly be there.So it good at young age as now, you relax and find more things you love to do and you develop yourself in them..
Till Next Time..Bye Now!
