Love-Hate Relationship With Passion

You know what the problem with Passion is? It involves too much emotion. Passion in itself fuels emotion, or maybe it's the either way around. Or, it can mean exactly the same thing. The word in itself is confusing, and the way we perceive it may confuse us too!

IF YOU CAN TAKE A HINT, YOU KNOW WHAT THIS PICTURE MEANS

The past year I have been made to question what my real passion in life is. Whether it may be giving career goals for people, life coaching, creating opportunities, fixing broken business processes, writing, and yes, Architecture! After all these years, Architecture still remains to be on top of the list.

And then when I had the opportunity to attend Jim Paredes' Creativity Workshop, I took home a valuable lesson that flipped my world and brought me to where I am now. He said that if there was one thing that you do that would make you forget time, then you are in the state of creativity. You have something you are passionate about.

After almost 8 years of convincing myself that I was in the right place, I have finally embraced what I was meant to do in the first place.

Never mistake money for passion. Money can buy you everything but happiness. This may be cliche but none of us seem to understand this. You can take it for what it is and consider it wisdom. Or you can ignore this. Either way, you will end up wanting to do what makes you happy, or die miserable.

Here's too me rekindling my passion, and here's to you, trying to find yours! Cheers!

Peace, Love, and Undying Passion.
