Are you making your passion your profession?

Since most of us spend the majority of our waking life working for a living, can we really afford to be, and do we really want to be in the wrong profession ?

In today’s competitive environment, it is not at all uncommon to find people working as much as 16-18 hours a day and indulging in our hobbies and interests only on the weekends. So, if we are forced to work for such a long duration in the wrong job, it is bound to lead to health as well as other adverse implications which will permeate into all areas of our lives.

Do you think that if you could turn your passion into a profession that you would be a happier, well adjusted, healthier person?


If we get up every day and go to a job that we hate, or one that we tolerate, just because we need the paycheck, do you honestly believe that you can have complete joy and happiness in your life?

When you can develop an income doing something that you love to do, and that you are absolutely passionate about, it is no longer work!

You do your work by choice, and you do it with pleasure. The key is to choose your career not on the basis of what you know, but by who you are! Ask yourself, is this your life’s work? Is this who you are?

“When your Vocation becomes your Vacation, there is no such thing as hard work! ”
Jimmy (the Butcher) Smith

That is so true. I firmly believe that. I know from experience because I now have the pleasure of doing what I absolutely love to do, and to me, its not work. I wake up every morning with a drive to get right to it… get into my day, and create a difference in the lives of people that I have the privilege of knowing!

How do you find your passion?

The way I define the term passion is something in which I enjoy doing, something I can do all day long, every day, and continuously find happiness doing it. Yet it isn’t even the act of doing it that makes me happy, because just thinking about it can produce feelings of great elation!

So how do I do this?

First you have to set realistic goals. You will never succeed without setting goals. Create a realistic vision for not only the present, but the future as well.

Remember that life is a journey. You may have to take on certain jobs that you may not like, just to get your foot in the door, to work towards your true passion. Perhaps you may need more schooling to realistically be able to achieve your dream profession.

Know that, even though you may have to do things that you don’t prefer, this is not always going to be the case. However, you need to be responsibly providing for your family while creating a plan for your dreams.

Carefully consider what your true passion is, and plan to make it happen!

You need to analyze all the factors before putting your plan into action. Do you need to relocate? Do you need more schooling, an apprenticeship perhaps? All of these factors need to be taken into careful consideration.

The biggest thing you need to have is courage, to put your plan into action so that you can start working towards your dream life. Always believe in yourself, and never let failure be an option for you. Then one day, you will find yourself there – living your dream, not dreading going to work! You have worked for this and it has become real for you because you had courage, vision, and a viable long term plan.

The only way you will ever be truly happy – and successful – is to make your passion your profession!
