Passion is a very interesting word; or rather experiences have made the word passion interesting. It is not onomatopoeic however it has a similar reaction. Just stop for a second and focus on the word, what pops up in your mind? If you’re like me you’re probably having a visualization of the word, maybe color splashing and even fire works. If you focus long enough on the word it will excite you, and perhaps even ignite your spirit as you reconnect truly with what it is that drives you.
I love the word passion, there is something about a dream that drives you, that pushes you through the mundane and propels you to work to the highest of success. What I find most interesting about passion though, is its likeness to a fire; it needs constant refueling to keep burning. Sometimes the tank is on empty and you want to give up on the thing that you have been working your entire life for. How do you find the energy to constantly refuel that fire or even harder still, rekindle a flame that has long since blown out?
In my experience there are three things that can help
- Self-care: Take some time to care for you, recharge your mind, body and spirit.
- Be mindful of the company you keep: Those around us impact us. Surround yourself with persons who are passionate and driven (doesn’t have to be the same interests as you.
- Patience: Overnight success is the product of long nights of hard work. Give time time!
Find your passion and surround yourself with passionate people but don’t forget to take care of yourself and to give time time!!
Thanks for reading and I hope you enjoyed!
Till next time, Be Brave, Be True, Be you!
