I’m at that point in my life where there is this intense need to discover myself. What am I supposed to do to make my life meaningful? How can I seize each day I live? Am I making any worthwhile contribution to this world?
I have not reached a solution yet, but believe me, following your passion with all your heart is the answer to most of the questions that arise in your mind. Every person goes through this epiphany once in their life. Some fail to acknowledge it, some overlook, and some go in denial. But, only a few have the courage to stand their ground and follow their passion.
So, I’m here to tell you why making a career out of your passion gives you immense joy. The process of finding yourself is the most satisfactory ever, and your passion is key to that.
1. You discover yourself before discovering the world
You think you know yourself, but there are so many layers to your personality that are yet to come out. When you will be doing what you love every day, you’ll be reaching places you didn’t know you could reach.
2. You realise that it’s never too late. Just like Virendra Kaith, who followed his heart and converted his #PassiontoPaycheck
Your passion will be as strong at any point in your life. Once you decide to follow your passion and give it your 100%, success will eventually follow. Your passion will lead you to paychecks. You’ll not have to worry about it.
3. For once, you’ll be more passionate about the work than money
As cheesy as it sounds, money won’t matter, at all. The satisfaction you’ll be deriving out of your work will be so exhilarating, you won’t have time to think about money.
4. Your work life constitutes almost 50% of your entire life. You’ll be making most of that time.
Because, if you are not happy and satisfied in the biggest part of your life, what is the point in living?
5. Once you have your heart and mind set on that one thing, you can start checking items off your bucket list
Once you start pursuing what you love, other things fall into place.
6. No obstacle will be able to stop you from moving ahead in your field
Passion gives you confidence and strength to take anything with valour. You believe in yourself when it comes to your passion, and no one can disrupt that.
7. You’ll be able to push your own boundaries and surprise yourself
You think you are good at something and can’t excel in it? Just give it a try. You’ll leave the masters behind, once you decide to give it your 100%.
8. You won’t mind working late and giving that extra effort when the situation demands it
Because it’s not work for you. It’s pure joy. The joy of rearing your passion and becoming a better, more talented professional and a person. Work won’t feel like stress.
9. You will surpass all creative blocks, and come up with brilliant ideas
That’s your forte. It hovers in your mind, even when you are sleeping or doing other things. You’ll think about it all the time. Creative block is out of the question.
10. You’ll sleep well at night
Believe it or not, this will be the most satisfying part of it. When you’ll lie down on your bed at the end of the day, the famous ‘What am I doing with my life?’ question will be out of the window.
11. You’ll be proud of yourself, and won’t need anyone’s approval
When you are confident about yourself, no one can come and tell you that you suck at your work. You won’t need their validation, and that is the most liberating one can feel.
12. You’ll inspire many more to follow their passion
By defying everything unimportant, and running after your dream, you won’t even realize that your story might inspire others around you to gather courage and follow THEIR passion. And if ever in doubt, Signature Start Up is always there to help and inspire you.
