We don’t try to express our love for our work. We do love people, we take care of our relationships but very few people respect their passion. If you don’t love your work then you shouldn’t say you are passionate about your work. Many people mix passion and need with each other and replace these terms frequently.
Try to understand that need is a requirement and you are working for that requirement. For example, a person who does a job might have a mindset that he/she needs to do the job for fulfilling his/her personal requirement. So the intention only remains to earn money.
So the need becomes a dominating power in our life. We focus and plan to do work from time to time so that we can also take care of ourselves and our family. You might have seen so many times that people complain when they have to work overtime for nothing.
It’s a job and basically we to that job because of external force like our responsibilities. There’s nothing lying within and sometimes people are even frustrated because of the work culture they have to live in. When an external force impacts your life then you try to deal with the situation by working on it.
In the above example hunger, shelter, paying, taxes is external force trying to make us unstable in terms of money. But since we know that this situation can be handled by getting a stable job, therefore we try to seek a job to earn money. And this same concept applies to every person who only has an intention to gain wealth as much as possible in the early stages of life.
PASSION COMES FROM WITHIN AND YOU HAVE TO FUEL IT
What we call passion can only be tested if we have that burning desire within ourselves and to continue with the work despite several difficulties. That desire can only be created from within and no one in this world no matter how motivating someone is can create it.
Successful and consistent individuals get more credit because of the passion they build in it. Though they have a lot of motivating people around but without their passion it would never have been possible to get consistent positive results and success.
When I was young what I thought was a great Guru can change our lives. But when I grew up I understood that no matter how great your Guru is but if you don’t have a desire within you then it will never be possible to achieve great results.
The best example you can take is that naughty person in the class who always misbehaves with teachers and creates a disturbance. Do you think that there will be any passion lying within that person to learn? Of course not and that is why he/she won’t be able to learn no matter how professional the teacher is.
Many people get confused because they think that a great teacher will change their lives forever. It’s nothing but expecting the teacher to feed you. If you are confident about your job and willing to work hard then only it can be called as your passion.
A person wishes and dreams of achieving big things in life with the intention to earn a great amount of money. Then that individual will only be motivated by money. If your motivation is money then for your entire life you will get frustrated and remain happy only after the paycheck gets credited into your bank account.
RESPECT YOUR PASSION AND IT WILL DEFINITELY BLESS YOU WITH SUCCESS
You might have seen people showing huge respect towards their work during initial days and then their love fades away with time. It’s common and because of losing interest in work, we can’t sustain for long. Showing interest in your job means you are respecting it from within. There are some people who appreciate their work in order to show it to others but within they remain frustrated.
This attitude is neither going to improve your knowledge nor it will help you in your life. A person who remains dedicated to his/her work will always keep it on top of his/her priority list. This priority is what makes them successful even in the longer run.
These are very rare individuals and they devote all of their time in pursuing their dreams for real. You need to at least admire these people or stick to them so that you could also get some kind of motivation and help in your job.
If you are feeling demotivated at a certain point of time then these are the people who will inspire you. Obviously, your passion needs to come from within but these people will also boost your morale in the longer run. So therefore if you want to keep yourself alive in the competition then you will have to respect your passion and work for it at the same time.
