| Finding
Your Passion |
|
Being
committed to some goal in your life - a sense of having a mission,
a purpose, even a calling - is a very motivating, very comforting
thing. Some people's mission steps up to greet them, others have
to hunt theirs down.
|
|
|
Motivation
that comes from inside is the first key ingredient to every successful
endeavour. Encourage yourself to find out what thrills you, what
suits you, what brings you pride.
|
|
|
Do
the things you love to do and are passionate about, then you'll
have few regrets. Conspicuous success or public acknowledgement
for these things may or may not come, but it won't trouble you much
either way because you'll be happily enjoying yourself.

Nobel
Laureate, Francis H.C. Crick, co-discoverer of the formula for DNA,
rated his enjoyment of work as the characteristic most responsible
for his remarkable success, and he placed this ahead of 32 other
possible factors.

What
intrigues you? What questions about any aspect of life or the universe
absolutely enthrall you? There's your direction!
|
|
| Although
we cannot map out lives in advance, much can be done to make desirable
outcomes more likely. Acquiring an exceptional ability is one such
outcome. |
|
|
Find
yourself a purpose in life and then don't let that be muddled or
overshadowed by the hurly-burly of day-to-day events.
|
|
|
I
have endless get up and go for the things that I enjoy.
|
|
|
Be
open to discoveries. Don't have too fixed a notion of the path,
but rather have some idea of the kind of things that most appeal
to you.
|
|
| Go
after your dreams - let them lead you. It's your chance of profound
happiness. |
|
|
A
strong curiosity and the ability to enjoy whatever you are doing,
are a huge help in life.
|

If
there are two vital elements in life, they are determination and
enthusiasm. Of these two, enthusiasm is probably more important
because it's so infectious and people can't help but respond to
it. What are you most enthusiastic about?

I

|
|
| You've
got to fight against the urge to try to say and do what other people
want of you. That's not how you earn their respect. They will most
respect you for thinking and doing what they didn't think of, what
they didn't dare. |
|
|
Your
accomplishments will bring great pride and joy to your closest friends
and family, but in the long run it will hurt all of you badly if
you've done it only for them. You have to do things for the passion
in your own heart.
|
|
| Own
up to what you most want out of life, and then work out the most positive
and direct way of getting it. Ask yourself "What activities could
I not live without?" |
|
|
Recognise
your passions - recognise what you like to think about, what you
like to read about out, and what you do with your own free time.
That's powerful stuff whatever it is, so don't dismiss it, it may
hold the key to your future.
