The
concept of passion touches on love, hate and even anger, some people are so
passionately angry about life, the government and sometimes even their family
for their failures. Passion is at the very center of inspiration. You may not want
to believe this but I have found it to be true and as such I believe it, ‘if
you are not passionate about anything then you are not inspiring’. There are
certain people who are so passionate about doing the wrong things and if you
meet them, they might inspire you to start doing the wrong things. Passion does
not only depend on knowledge, it goes further to the application of the very
knowledge in a way that it makes what you are doing as though it is the only
thing you know how to do.
When
you are passionate about something, you will not be negative about that thing.
Passion divorces you from the infection of negativity. There are people who I
have seen who are so negative about life, they even blame their parents for
bringing them into the world. Listen, you are not in this world to suffer, you
just lack passion for life that is why you feel the way you do. Many people
have ended up giving up on the very things they were born to do because of lack
of passion. Passion is so powerful that it robs you of the possibilities of
being shy about what you are doing. Do not be shy when you are doing what you
were born to do. Passion offers you a way in life to succeed in whatever you
are doing.
Passion
is contagious, when you are really passionate about something, soon or later
the people around you become inspired by the way you do what you do, even if it
is dangerous, they will attempt to try because of your passion and the opposite
is true, when you meet people who are not passionate about something, you may
be affected and begin to hate it even if you liked it before you met them –
Iron sharpens Iron, go for the people with passion for what you were born to
do.
Passion
gives you the eyes and ears of possibilities even if all evidence points to
impossibility. I would rather be passionate about something than just knowing
what to do and then not do it.
To
change the world with your potential you ought to be passionate about your
potential. Life will sometimes throw you up and down and if you are not
passionate then you will be quick to give up and begin to condemn life and wish
you were someone else – the person who is passionate about their potential and
dreams. Not everyone will support you in life but for a man/woman who has
passion for something they will always be willing to go ahead even when others
‘vote No’ to their dreams and aspirations. Passion is an attribute of
successful people. If you are not passionate, you will be moved by anything and
if you are moved by anything then you have no direction and if you have no
direction then you can fall for anything and if you can fall for anything then
you are dangerous.
You
cannot utilize what you have not realized. Realizing your worth gives you
passion to pursue life with zeal. You can be passionate about something which
you really know that you were born to contribute to this world. Myles Munroe
said, “When people come to you, it is not that they like you it is what you are
contributing to their lives and the world at large that they follow”. With this
understanding, your passion for something must not be affected by how many
people follow you or clap hands for you after your contribution. Your passion
should be an inner drive where even when everyone is against you but as long as
what you are doing is what you were born for, you have my support, JUST GO
AHEAD AND DO IT.
