IGNITE YOUR PASSION! (1)
Here are many people’s thoughts and beliefs:
“My life is meaningless!”
“My parents are nobody. Is this not a curse? I live in a part of
the world where nobody knows that I exist.”
“What is the problem? I have money but no happiness!”
“There’s nobody to help me; those I depended on eventually
disappointed me. Oh God, I am finished!”
“It is impossible to become great because I have no
opportunity to go to school.”
“Only some special people are made to make a difference.”
“I am always busy but with no visible result—someone is
working against me!”
“I need money first before I can start anything.”
“My life is boring and full of troubles.”
“I am working and earning yet have no joy. What kind of
work is this?”
“I hate the people working with me, including my boss.”
“I need money to show these foolish people that I am
somebody.”
We say these things and many more as school dropouts, job
seekers, salary earners, and leaders’ day after day. Many people in
different areas of life, all over the world, have given up and are now
hopeless due to poor conclusions or others’ opinions. If you can
check your inner voice, some of them may likely be related to what
you think sometimes. They are even what some of us call normal things
that have no change. We believe that good things are for specially made
and selected people by God, and that God created everyone not for
special purposes.
This is one of the questions I love to ask: “What can you start
doing to enjoy yourself and remain happy for the rest of your life?”
This is one of the critical and sensitive topics I love to speak about
in any engagement. The challenges attached to passion are so strong
because it is a powerful emotion. If you trade with it, you can succeed
and be fulfilled like no one in the world; if you do not, you will remain
unhappy—even with huge properties and big money in the bank. It is
the first step to success, and it increases willpower and produces extra
energy. It is a key to success that stands as the foundation of excellence
if known and understood. Passion is known as talent-plus.
