I Don't Know What My Passion Is Or Don't Think I Can Pursue It

in #dtube6 years ago


I've found a lot of people struggle to pursue their passion or to find their passion to begin with and there is a lot of stigma and shame around not knowing or pursuing it that people avoid talking about or being open about it which keeps them from getting more involved and learning more and moving forward. This may not be you, but a lot of people just live for the weekend. I'd like to address these fears and concepts and I draw an interesting parallel between financial literacy and pursuit of passion. You must sacrifice, focus on it, talk about it and learn more, you can't just want it. Everyone wants money. It's not a goal because everyone wants it, just like breathing oxygen isn't a goal. This isn't to say you shouldn't strive for wealth, but you should strive for passion and the wealth will come.
Let me know what your passion is and or your thoughts about this in the comments below.

@scottcbusiness, This is one subject of life which hold the question mark when it comes to many. I was pro sports person, but after 25 years i get to know that my passion is poetry and I've discovered this art after joining Steem Ecosystem, from nowhere one day wakeup from a dream and started writing poetry.

Sometimes we tend to fail to discover passion and in this case passion itself discover us and visit our life inspire us to follow it. Life is tough but when we hold our passion it will going to drive us effectively. Stay blessed brother. 🙂

Stay blessed as well! Yeah some of us can get that snap realization, but for many they just need to go out and try out more things to figure out what really sparks their interest and gives them those motivated "fuzzies"

That's true brother. Have a great time ahead. 🙂

Some people give up on their passion due to lack of money to pursued it some due to lack of proper counselling and advice to help them along their

Maybe, but if you love it, you don't need counselling, you would do it for fun. What passion is prevented by a lack of money?

The problem is, some are confused about their passion and some are scared to adopt it....

of course, and if it was easy then everyone would already be doing it

You know that is your passion when it gives you sadness and joy, when you suffer for it saying "fuck, it's impossible" and to the days you try again. You know what your passion is when you feel proud of any small sign of improvement, when someone congratulates you, thanks you or encourages you. You know it's your passion when nobody helps you, nobody encourages you, and yet you want to do it, you alone. Well, that's passion, rewarded or not, with monetary gains or not, that's passion.

Exactly. And if you pursue that long enough, you probably will make money for it. At the very least, enough to survive. I firmly believe it.

Why not? That should be the moral of the tale of passion.
