Locating your passion to live your dreams

By Adunke Olatunji

When dreams are born, passion must be created or developed to realise the ultimate goal.

We all have dreams and aspirations, but only a few take the time to find their passion and go after it.  Make this the day when all that will change for you.  Go after your dream.  The time will never be right to do it so start doing it today.

If you fail, pick yourself up, dust yourself off and start all again.  You must never have a quitter attitude when going after your passion.  People who are passionate about their dreams never give up until they have realized their dreams and then they work on making sure they keep what they have fought for so long and now have achieved.  You too can be that person living your dream if you make the commitment to go after your passion today.

Finding something that you love to do is KEY.

If you haven’t tried to find what it is you are passionate about it might take you some time.  Take whatever time is necessary to find what you enjoy doing and that you could do for the rest of your life even if you weren’t being paid.  That thing that makes you happy when you think about it.

“My mission in life is not merely to survive but to thrive and to do so with some passion, some compassion, some humor, and some style.”  Maya Angelou

Once you think you have found what it is you are passionate about, take some time to do some research on how to excel at it.  Find material that might be updated or even change to make going after your passion easier and more likely to be successful.

Before investing all your energies into your dream get advice from people you respect and love or people who are in the field.  Getting some sound advice will save you lots of frustration, long hours, and pitfalls.

No matter what or how difficult things get make a promise to yourself that you will not give up on your dreams.  There will be times when things are not going well, work hard until you realize your dream.  Practice makes improvement.  The more you work at it, the better you become.  There will be setbacks, but that is when you need to dig in deeper and work harder.

Even though you are now doing something you love, and you are very passionate about it, it will take the time to bear fruit.  You must be patient and allow your dream to grow and mature.  You can never achieve your passion if you are impatient.

Once you have found, your passion never settles for second best again. Your dream will become your life-long career.  You will have to work at it until it becomes fruitful, and you can support yourself doing it.

It doesn’t matter how much you love what you are doing you will need to improve on your skills.  Keep practicing until you have mastered all aspect of it and when you are through, start again.  When you truly love what you do, you will want to be the best at it.

You will never stop until you are at the highest point of the game.

This age is so unique that technology has a great impact on every human endeavour, with this, you are enhanced and greater success is achieved. Talking about a man (Thomas Edison) who experimented 99 times to birth a electric bulb, passion did it. Passion is a great driver nothing can kill except it’s not there.

Work on your passion and make life easier.
