Passion

 "I need to find my passion."

We obsess over our passion.

Expecting it to be lying in some corner, waiting to be discovered.

And when we do, our life will never be the same again.

Truth is - we do not find our passion.

We grow our passion.

That's a long journey.

For everyone.

But it is also a beautiful journey that will teach you a lot about yourself.

Find your profession, before you Find your passion.

Like the fairy tale lore goes - kiss a lot of toads before you find your prince

Finding your passion: The world's longest treasure hunt that starts and ends within you.

Here's a secret roadmap:

1. The Misconception: Passion is not something that's "out there" to be found. It's not a Holy Grail or Atlantis.

2. The Experimentation: Start saying 'yes' more. Try new things. Eat at new restaurants. Learn a random skill on YouTube. You're not off the path, you're expanding it.

3. The Discomfort: You will not find your passion in your comfort zone. Embrace the uncomfortable; it’s often the universe's way of saying, 'Here’s where you need to grow.'

4. The Reflection: Ever lose track of time because you're so engrossed in a task? Bingo, you're getting closer.

5. The Intersection: The sweet spot is where what you love, what you're good at, and what the world needs intersect. That’s your passion GPS.

Remember, it's not about finding a passion and sticking to it no matter what. It's about finding what makes you feel alive today. And if that changes tomorrow, that's okay.

Passions are not tattoos. You don't have to have one for a lifetime. They're more like T-shirts. Find one that fits today. And if it doesn't fit tomorrow, change it.

The treasure is not out there. It's in you. Dig in!

Passion is not a destination to find; it's a voyage of self-discovery. Embrace the journey, for along the way, you will uncover the depths of your soul, cultivate your interests, and kindle the flames of purpose.

And sometimes in figuring out the true passion, our entire life gets ended in just maintaining that one so called profession !! Everyone knows that uncertainties and risks are just dark rooms but what if we don't get out of that room again!! What ifs are actually terrific !!

Finding our passion is not about waiting for a eureka moment; it's about taking intentional steps toward discovering what truly ignites our soul. It's okay to pivot, explore, and redefine your path as you grow into your passion.

While growing our passion through exploration and self-discovery is a valid approach, the idea of discovering a passion in a sudden and transformative way should not be entirely dismissed.

Both perspectives have their place in the complex and diverse human experience.

The journey to finding one's passion is unique for each individual, and what works for one may not necessarily work for another.

Embracing both perspectives can offer a more comprehensive understanding of the dynamic nature of passion and personal growth.
