ONE
OF THE MOST VITAL things you can do to increase your confidence
and welcome challenge is to find your passion. With passion comes
belief, determination, and a willingness to trust in your instincts.
I believe that deep down we all know what we are passionate about.
Sometimes we hide it behind the needs of others and deny what we
truly feel inside.
I
know many people who seemed to know what they wanted to do from an
early age and now love the career they chose. Other people are on a
search and may find themselves along many career paths before they
stick to one that makes them happy. If you haven’t found your
passion yet, try not to get disheartened. Sometimes if you are going
down a twisted path with lots of curves and bends, it still leads you
to the exact place you need to be—it just takes a little longer. If
you go down one career path and then change to another, all that
knowledge can add depth to what you are doing now, making your set of
skills more unique. There is no such thing as knowledge wasted. I
always believe that everything happens at the perfect time.
Define
yourself…
I think we need to come up with our own definition of success and not
let others define it for us. We can also fall into the trap of
letting others set our goals for us. Some people define success as
accumulating a vast amount of wealth or achieving wide recognition,
but it’s important to ask yourself, will these things make you
truly happy? I believe success is when you feel content with who you
are and what you offer to the world. I like this quote by John R.
Wooden: Success
is peace of mind which is a direct result of self-satisfaction in
knowing you did your best to become the best you are capable of
becoming.
If
you want to be a doctor or a writer, the choice should be yours.
Remember, you’re the one who has to live your life—nobody else.
Passion
takes you places…
Passion is something that can motivate you into action.
Procrastination is something that prevents you from living your
passion and ultimately deprives you of achieving your dreams. Be
careful not to get stuck in the trap of procrastination!
Procrastination is when you intend to do something but somehow never
get around to doing it. We all know that feeling! You keep putting
something off or you keep making up excuses not to do it.
By
procrastinating you are reaffirming the belief that you can’t
achieve your goals. The first thing you should do so you can
understand the real problem behind your procrastination is to
identify those self-limiting beliefs that are holding you back. It
could be that you don’t think you have the skills to complete a
project or that you’re scared of failure. The only way to eliminate
these limiting thoughts is through action, even if it may seem
daunting at first. No successful man or woman you admire got to where
they are by doing nothing. Say to yourself, “There is nothing
stopping me from achieving my dreams!” Once you embrace your
innermost passion, it will stay with you for life.
Take
some time to work out what really excites and inspires you. Discover
what you would be prepared to do every day even for free! When you
are following your passion, it won’t even seem like work to you.
Passionate people feel alive with their unwavering sense of direction
in life. They exude an innate confidence and feel like they have
total command of their world.
