In
my workplace, we always had this opportunity to express our thoughts and ideas
and whatever we feel matters most to us, similar to a platform, like TED, where
you will be asked to choose your topic of interest and to share your thoughts
and ideas, and I chose the topic on Stop Searching Your Passion, which created
a interest and buzz on everyone.
I
would like to ask you a few questions? Basic definition for a Passion and what
according to you is Passion.
And
everyone started replying that, they had something to do in common or something
that keeps them going, and something that pushes them to do better.
So
what it does mean to go a little deeper in understanding, we may find so many
different aspects of life, many hobbies that were born along with us and we
leave them aside till today.
Passion
comes from a various forefront and its enables us personally to do better in
what we wanted to tell our community around. Passion comes on various aspects,
and I will be sharing to you on the basic two aspects which I find quite
important for today.
How
Culture Impacts the Passion we hold and how our Peers are involved in our
passion!
Culture
to a greater extent has impacted our passion of recent days, especially with
individuals moving down especially with
most of our teenagers after college desperately looking to go into a regular
paid job, which only curtails to a conclusion, that passion’s are for temporary
and for the long term commitment , it’s a failure.
It
reminded me of a friend of mine, whose passion is on trekking and travel
adventure, but due to his family and personal commitments, had to leave away
his passion beside and to concentrate on a regular 9 to 5 paid job, which still
is a struggle, due to many commitments that he holds to himself. We call it
life of 21st century, where any individual who has money saved, but
still he feels poor, amidst rapid economic and money and the rise in prices.
So
where does passion stand here, where we need to raise a question to ourselves,
to understand, what is needed and required to understand!
We are
in the epitome of our society where our relevance is questioned, and it is we,
who have destined it as we have found it.
This
goes to the existence on the most important part, where on how our peers
influence passion, where any individual , whose identity stands apart is
determined by the team , he works along and influences by.
It
is here, one needs to understand what it takes to understand how your in the
team , despite all odds, we need to understand, where we stand in a world where
there is no mutual growth and what needs to change right now, in this society
of inequality, we need to realize what it takes to be part of a great team,
inturn seeing the results ,not only seeing in our passion to grow and also
seeing here where we understand we grow in a mutual state of life.
Finally
I would like to reinstate to understand how does failure help you to reorganize
your passion? We may have our passions, but when failure bows down, we tend to
realize we stop, at most instances and it’s the end.
Thus
Passion becomes an art and life’s need to be lived as a lesson forever.
Life
lived on earth is once, let our life be praised for generations.
