So many motivators/ Inspirational Speakers say work on the things you love, work on your passion and you outstand in the world. But I have observed in my life, it is not easy to find passion and it also changes with time.
Another problem is that if I am working on my passion who will feed me? Suppose one person is passionate about social service, in that case who will feed his/her family. Now the question arises, what should we do? Work on passion or work to make money.
Now to solve this dilemma, I have some points.
One will definitely work what is required in the market to earn money to feed oneself. But my point is he/she must work for his/her passion not just for money but to improve his/her potential and happiness even few hours in week.
Suppose you are a Chartered Accountant and you also enjoy working with children. One option might be to start something for children to combine your passion and work. Another option is to work for one/two hour daily/weekly for children according to your requirement and time. This will help you create excellent result in your profession. If your passion can also fetch money for you that is additional advantage.
Now question arises why should I work on my passion even if I am not earning any money. That is quite valid.
When you work on your passion, you are inspired to do it, means you are in spirit; you are feeling God and work effortlessly with flow of universal energy. That is the greatest opportunity to understand you. The God wants you to do that.
Following are beautiful lines taken from Patanjali, Yoga Sutra.
€When you are inspired by some great purpose, some extra-ordinary project, all your thoughts break their bonds, your mind transcends limitations, your consciousness expands in every direction, and you find yourself in a new, great and wonderful world. Dormant forces, faculties and talents become alive, and you discover yourself to be a greater person by far than you dreamed yourself to be.
The above line states working on your passion enhances your inner potential; limitations of your thoughts are broken. You awaken your inner abilities which you have not known earlier. You become greater than yourself. Your talents start open up and your consciousness expands in all the directions. You become a greater person. The ultimate advantage is that you will do greatly in your professional work. You shall feel happy; you shall have happy relationship with others.
You come to know how to put your heart in your present work and that is the quality of high achiever.
