You know when you look at high performers like steve jobs, bill gates, mark zuckerburg and many others, you may be wondering how they are able to stay up on the game for years. Sometimes you may aspire to be like them but you get scared that you will never be able to reach their level. Okay, i want to assure you today that you can be more than them if you want to because what they possess you also have only that you didn't know. And that is what we call PASSION, come on let's look at it.
What is passion..
I love the third definition which is more concrete it says "an intense desire or enthusiasm for something" that means passion is something which makes you lose sleep whenever you walk or sit down down all you think about is that things. Now don't confuse interest with passion because interest can be for a short while passion is for the life time, it fires within you everyday, it doesn't make you comfortable it pushes you to go out and make it happen. Something you think about everyday to accomplish, something you are able to give all of yourself to achieve it that's is passion.
Passion exists in all of us created by God, in your passion is where you find your purpose. Great performers in the world are known for their passion in what they do, in other words they love what they and do what they love. If you want to change the world around you first thing you need is to discover your passion for whatever you will initiate. Many people fail to go for long term in many things because of lacking passion. What makes you alive each day is your passion. Passion is the fuel for great performance and achievement in things you want to do. Passion makes you creative and strong to persevere heavy storms of life because you will have to face them whether you like or not.
As for i was doing CISCO NETWORKING CERTIFICATE course and this thing has value in the market of technology and by the way i passed with flying colours, i could go and get a job from anywhere. Fun thing is i did it to impress my parents but it was not a passion i had. Mine was to be a motivational speaker which i am now. So with that IT course i couldn't perform greatly when i face real technical situations because i didn't love it. So one day i decided to lock all my certificates and start persuing my passion which is to be an inspiration to others because is what made me not to settle and think about it day and night. Well that caused conflicts with my parents and faced alot of discouragements but what kept me going is my passion for what i was doing and that made me to perform best and changed many people's lives.
You too can become a great performer is possible and possible, all you need is to know what you are passionate about because many people they feel something burning inside but not exactly sure what it is. Now am going to give guideline questions which may help you to figure out your passion okay.
ILLUSTRATION: Take a notebook and a pen write these questions and their answers then work on them.
i)What are you strongly interested about in your life.
ii)What have you always wanted to become
iii)What gives you greatest fulfillment
iv)What do you constantly imagine about your future
v)What do you do best with the least effort
vi)What would do for free with all your heart
vii)What one thing would you do if you knew you would not fail
There you go remember to revise your answers till you get a clarity of what your passionate about and most importantly act on them.
