OK there are plenty people that achieved this but even more there are failures. Human brain is not build for a long passion because long passion is evolutionary bad thing. As I said in one comment on some blog if you are in mortal danger every day then project that will pay of next month is not worth of time. Because we are not in mortal danger every day just few thousands year ago, this hard wired thing in our brain is not changed. We are created to adapt and passion is not adaptable.
How then we can achieve long term passion? By long string of short term passion. Make every day time to think of your passion, your goals and why you think they are worth.
Teenage recipe for passion
Teenager personal world is his room. So how you will now, what is his passion. Look at his room. If his kayaking medal on prominent place in room. Yeah he love kayaking. Does this ugly skating shoes are always at some visible place in room no matter how many time you said it put them into box. Yes she probably love skating.
Personal standard for passionate life
-
Find stuff that activate your passion,
-
Schedule some time for think of your passion. First 10 minutes in the morning, last 10 minutes before sleep, on your lunch break… does not matter as long as you do as regularly as possible. Always create some some small task that you can done tomorrow. Task must be really small about 10 minutes of time, just to make you moving. Example for me will be something like (reading little about marketing blog content, writing some ideas about my flagship product, finding some interesting article to comment…)
-
Be sure to do scheduled task. Reason that I tell you to take small task is just to eliminate any chance to excuse that you don’t have time, energy, willpower… Be sure to do it.
-
You can do anything other related to your passion task and of course more is better but be sure that you always have and do some passion tasks. It’s good for your soul.
If for example you are passionate about feeding hunger people in the world, find some statistic about number of hungry man in the world an put that number on your desktop. Find some books about topic and put one on a coffee table in your living room, somewhere in your bedroom… Find some creative ways to put your passion in focus wherever you look.
Passion is the desire which run through us that bring out our best.
When you become passionate about something, you throw caution to the
wind and let go of all fears. You begin to move towards your goals
with a unstoppable confident force which leads to success.
