People who are passionate work harder, do better work and more motivated than those who aren't. Needless to say they also enjoy their work more.
Who do you think has the greatest opportunity to prosper when times are tough? The person who hates their work and has to drag themselves to work every day, or the person who loves what they're doing and can hardly wait to get to it?
80% of the population is not passionate about what they do. They have been thinking that following their passions is a luxury, that they can't do what they love because they have to earn a living and support their family. These are the people the current economic crisis will hit the hardest.
You see there is a reason you love the things you love. There is a reason you care about the things you care about. Your passions, the things that matter most to you are like carrots leading you on to fulfill your unique purpose in life.
In the same way, it's no accident that you become more and more miserable when you ignore your passions to do what you "think" you have to do. Economic crisis is really a wake up call for everyone who is not doing what they love.
The more you ignore your passions, the more unhappy you will become.
Do you want to survive the current upheavals? Then take The Passion Test. Find what you love and begin teaming with others to offer value that people are willing to pay for.
Today's Tip for Following Your Passions: Make the commitment to yourself to gradually phase out anything in your life that you can't stand doing. That doesn't mean abandon it. If there is something that needs to be done and you hate doing it, that means there is someone else who is supposed to do that. Your job is to find the person who will love doing what you can't stand doing. This is one type of "enlightened alliance."
In these times, we need each other. Find ways to team with people you love and whose skills, talents and passions are complimentary to yours. |
