This week the question of what am I passionate about came up twice. I had to come to grips with the fact that maybe i am not working as quickly on a project as I could be or giving it 100% because it is not something that I truly want. I see how it is a good idea and that was the reason that I began the project in the first place but when I truly ask myself what I want I know it's not it. And it shows in my productivity.
I'm sure I'm not the only one who has taken on goals because of family pressure or because they sounded like a fruitful idea, even though their heart wasn't in it. Sometimes we want so badly at times to take on other people's goals for us and make them our own. Just recently I met a man who started various construction companies because his family thought it was the best way for him to make money, which he did. But despite the money he still wasn't happy and it is now in his 50's that he is following his dream of feeding the homeless and less fortunate.
I want to follow my heart now. I know that making money is important but it's not so important that I want to risk looking back in 20 years and wishing I had followed my heart. I know that if I chase what my heart wants the money will come, especially since I will be putting 100% of myself into my work. A clear desire followed by persistent action will be my key to success.
