Having passion in life gives us direction.
It gives us motivation each day as we wake up in the morning ready to face the challenges ahead of us. On the contrary, having no passion in life makes us live like zombies where we just tend to follow what other people are doing, observing what is the trend and following it.
I remember reading an article which talks about the things dying people regret the most in life. One of which is not doing the things that really mattered to them. Instead they do things which is what other people would want from them. The result is its like you lived a life that is not truly yours, a fake one I may say. Sad but true.
Successful people have one way or another identified their passion in life and used it to achieve greater things. Take the case of Warren Buffet who is regarded as the world's greatest investor. He always had that passion for investing ever since he was young. Another example is Steve Jobs and his passion for making a difference. His innovations made our lives better.
For those who haven't found or are not yet sure what there passion is, let me tell you one technique to identify your passion in life. This was shared by my business mentor when I attended one of his seminars. One should imagine that in this world all jobs will have the same salary and there will be only one currency. Let's say the currency will be in US dollars and let's say the monthly salary for everyone would be 1,000 dollars regardless of the job you have. What job would you want to do?
This scenario would force you to choose the job that you truly love. And since you enjoy doing it that you don't even consider it as a job. That's where success comes after.
I hope this post helped you in a way to find your passion in life.
