Passion
Passion is a term applied to a very strong feeling about a person or thing. Passion is an intense emotion compelling feeling, enthusiasm, or desire for something.
"What Takes You the Extra Mile, to True Greatness and
Success, is PASSION.
I realized that true greatness and success is only achieved
once you start pursuing those things you are passionate about. And that the
people who seem to be 'struggling' in life, the ones that I know who are
already out there in the 'playing field', are the ones who I have no clue what
they are passionate about. I mean they are out there working hard and everything
but when I really thought about it I noticed I had no idea (in all the years I
have known them) what makes their blood rush faster. Their goals and ambitions
weren't ever clearly defined or articulated to me. I don't even think it’s
about saying it but there are just those people you know are in a frenzy about
for example politics and politics is what they are. The opposite was true for
all those I knew who were go getters, the ones who were making great strides to
places I could see. The ones who I wouldn't be afraid to invest in (if I had
the capacity). They were the ones who had a vision and goal in sight, fixated
on something they felt deeply about within their hearts. The amazing thing is
that I had always asked myself time and time again why it is that some people
work so hard and fail while some get things handed to them easier. Is it that
some are more deserving than others?
I honestly don't think Einstein would be where he was/is now
if he wasn't passionate about Physics. He probably wouldn't have pushed so hard
to succeed. He probably would have made it through life just like every other
scientist; getting by. This is not to say that passion is the be all and end
all to success. It's coupled with a lot of things like hard work and perseverance
but if you truly love something and believe in it working hard at it will be
easier, wouldn't it? I also strongly believe that God has placed unique talents
and gifts in each and every one of us and that the gift comes hand in hand with
the things that make your blood rush quicker. And with that said Proverbs 18:16
says, "A man’s gift makes room for him and brings him before great men.”
Therefore once you start operating in your gifting doors are going to be opened
for you into those 'higher' levels.
With this new piece of information I now understand
that 'failure' sometimes is because you are playing the wrong game. A game
that's not yours to begin with and that what’s going to get you to where you
need to be in life, to make you happy and provide success, is the things you
are passionate about. Your passion is what's going to take you where you want
to be and beyond. Once you figure it out FOCUS on it and RUN! Don't allow other
things to distract you! Don't compromise on it! Take hold of it and go with it.
With that said I leave you with the following question;
"What are you Passionate about?”
XOXO
P.S.
1) Success doesn't necessarily mean money.
2) I wonder why the word 'passion' is so closely linked to sex. Whats-up with that?
3) Personally
I still haven't figured out what I am passionate about but ya there are a few
things that come real easy to me and what I'm going to do now is write all
those things down as well as those things I can spend hours and hours doing
without complaining (excluding sleep) and see how I can make all that work for
me. Also by virtue of my God relationship I also believe whatever I do must
also be for the advancement of Gods kingdom in one way or the other coz
truthfully speaking it profits me nothing to go on and on for and on myself for
the rest of my life. I want to be part of something bigger than myself. In fact
I already am a part of something bigger than myself but now it's on me to play
a bigger more active role there. Oh yeah and another thing I didn't address
which is something I'm asking myself right now is, 'how do you find out what you
are passionate about?' I honestly don't know hey but ya if you don't know good
starting points like I said are things like what you enjoy, what you are good
at and then think of practical ways to put those things into action. Make
sense? :) I sure hope so. If it's still tricky and tough just remember you are
not in this alone. There are millions of people out there asking themselves the
same questions but ya whatever you do stay true to yourself. Be YOU and you'll
find YOUR way!!!! :)
Lotsa Love!

"What Takes You the Extra Mile, to True Greatness and
Success, is PASSION.
What are you Passionate about?"
In all this thought and conversation about my life after
University, what I was going to do and how I was going to obtain 'success' I
started thinking of all those people that have 'made it' in life. All these
people I had heard of or knew that were 'high flyers' and those who had had
doors amazingly open for them to enter greater heights. I thought if I can do
what they have done I’ll reach where they have. One element that popped up was
hard work but then I thought of all those people I knew who were always working
hard all the time and things just never seemed to materialize for them. And
upon looking deeper I think I spotted what I now think is a key element to true
success, PASSION.
I realized that true greatness and success is only achieved
once you start pursuing those things you are passionate about. And that the
people who seem to be 'struggling' in life, the ones that I know who are
