If you are asked to toss between passion and profession what it would be? Passion or Profession? It haunts us to choose either side of a coin. Most of the people today are trapped in things that are unfit for them. Some people were convinced to do a booming course or feeling vexed with a corporate cubicle instead of doing something they would love to do. We can have a whole day to think which of the two sides of the seesaw to jump but ‘today’might not be a time to waffle.

Have you ever asked yourself what’s your fuel to run a graceful lifestyle?

Your emotional force at times may devastate your lifestyle. You all have a personal vision of what you dreamt of. So, it’s unforgivable if you work on something out of exertion though you are in a world full of opportunities. Also from time to time, you have to beware of perils while chasing your passion.

Is passion a choice?

Passion can be treated as a directive decision rather than a personal choice. As it depends upon one’s Judgement to choose the best alternative out of knowledge, experience, and interest they possess. People usually have a dilemma in distinguishing between their hobby and passion. A hobby is something you do for pleasure and is driven by interest whereas passion is something where you find the true purpose of your life. For instance, if you have decided to bake cookies for yourself or your loved ones, it’s merely your hobby driven by interest but if you have also decided to repeat it several times showing some consistency then it’s passion and even you can make some bucks(money) out of it. Passion involves the amount of joy and investment you put to do something.

Are you still confused about how to distinguish between them? If yes, then try to explore yourself or focus on the core area of interest or involve yourself in activities that end up with good results. A hobby can be a passion but be careful while labelling your hobby as passion.

Passion Vs profession: How do you similitude?

Have you ever heard people saying, “I love what I do?” This is because they have a plan and are trying the best ways to manage whatever they take up and not missing a single opportunity, instead they create it. One must gradually accelerate their progress and think, what does it take to move beyond the average and excel perpetually? At times to chase your passion you are enforced to choose your profession to meet livelihood. If this is happening with you too, Does it look fair enough?

If Yes, Cheers! This is an indication of your growth. Don’t settle, until you find your true purpose. You can find the echo of success when you travel across the path you designed.

Can passion recapitulate your destiny?

Recapitulation starts with believing in yourself. Through that journey, you may not know whose life you might be impacting. There was a story of Tech-Guy who was passionately curious about Photography & Travelling. He understood that life lets him tumble for a while. He continued to do his existing job until he converted his passion into a profession. He dozed off that night with tears hoping someday he would be a PHOTOGRAPHER OF THE YEAR. The most awaited day arrived and he understood that an amazing thing happens when he gets honest with himself. So, there is no defined theory for deciding what is more important in life.

Do you agree ‘today’ is the first day of something you are dreaming for the ‘future’?

Whether it’s Passion or Profession most people try to suppress their present moments to unfold the future. A passion is worth the sacrifices you made to live in every moment. Working smart with passion will surely ignite the frame of success. Is it enough? No. Because the root of happiness is not success. People around might be treading you in a different path but you choose the path you wish to tread. Think? Are you chasing happiness or success? if it’s not happiness leave it. There would be knock-back along the path but be consistent enough to make decisions that align your profession with your passion. Strive hard with authenticity to make your passion into a well-paying profession.
