Do what you like to
do,
Do things that you
are passionate about
Do things that you
love to do
These are the most common
self-help tip given by life coaches, given by people who are successful and who
are inspirational to us.
I was intrigued by
these advises and I thought why passion is so important. This post is the answer that I
found.
I have been in
certain jobs where I was not passion about the job. And I was always looking at ways to
get out of the tasks. I was trying to find excuses. I could say it now because
I am doing reverse engineering.
At that time, I thought I was doing everything
I can and the things I didn't want to do were not my job. But the reality is
that I didn't like that work and so was trying to push it away.
This is what happens
when you do things you are not passionate about. You tend to avoid it.
In our jobs, we are
either building something or fixing something.
As a software engineer, I am building a software or fixing a software.
If you are a doctor, you are treating a
patient or building a healthy society by sharing your knowledge of medicine and
encouraging people to be fit and healthy.
If you are a teacher, you are fixing
the knowledge gap of the students or building their skills base.
And to carry out our respective jobs well, we need to provide right solutions.
And to provide right solutions,
we have to go deeper and understand the actual need.
To understand the actual
need, we have to pay attention, we have to be focused on the task.
For example, for a
doctor to give right diagnosis, he/she has to understand the symptoms,
co-relate with what is the season and what is the geography you are living in and so on to come to a conclusion. If there was no attention paid to these factors, there is
possibility that the diagnosis will be incorrect. Isn't it?
So,
when you are
doing something you are passionate, you are aligning your mental and physical
energies to focus on the task at hands. You are ready to go deeper and discover
stuff. You are ready to trade the unknown path and learn.
When you are not
loving what you do, you are signalling your mind and body to avoid it.
Its not rocket science to know that we are successful
when we give our 100%. Isn't it?
And we can give our 100% to what we are doing when our
mind and body are in sync. Passion is the glue that connects the body and mind and allow you to give your 100% to the task at hand.
Be passionate and be successful.
