Find your passion else you will die young
Find your passion else you will die young
So.. what is Passion ?
Passion is a rare commodity today. These days you do not find many people β passionate. Or, they have passion, but the un-necessary burden they put on themselves usually eats it away. Slowly they forget such a thing existed in their souls.
You got to feed passion, to feel passionate. Else you can not feel great.
Follow these 3 tricks to keep your passion alive :β
1. Spare an hour when you are down to just pick up the shovel and start hitting
2. Isolate yourself from the world and find your flow
3. Look back and measure your steps β to reward yourself
1 β Pick your shovel and hit the ground
There is no other way at hitting that Japanese Flow 'ikigai' but by picking up the shovel and hitting the ground hard. Hit your ground hard. Get muddy. Fall, Bend, Break and get lost in your work β the kind of work you love to do.
If you think, you will find the right time and you will get back to work. It is not going to happen. You will not find time and you will not be able to give your due time to what gives your life Fire. You got to pick the match box, take out the match stick and slide it down the phosphorus rug. There is no other way but to actually getting into DOING IT.
Next comes the attainment of Flow state.
2 β Isolate yourself from the world around you
You see those miserable retards, laser focused on their laptop screens and does not know a train is about to over run them?
I am that guy. I get lost in my world. I forget β their existed people around me. I forget what happens in my email inbox, or what person texts me, or what bomb blew the world 4 days back. I just disappear, sitting in the crowd. And to be honest, I love it!
This is called the Flow state. You got to taste it. It is fun, alive, firely and uni-directional. You get into this state and beat your drums. You wake people up and you dance in your own mystical world.
Amazingly, I have realised over period; the flow state doesnβt demand attention, validation or money. It does not even ask for a successful product to keep you motivated. It demands nothing, but your will to get into it. After you slide your soul into this state β time ceases, air slides down your nostrils and your eyes are simmering the light. You fly.
I would say, with passion, isolation becomes easy. The crowd stops bothering you.
3 β Look back and measure your steps
It is important you remember the lazy, old, late up mornings today. I used to wake up late. I used to smoke a lot. I used to live depressed. And I lived a life in a constant fear. Straight 10 years, I looked for a chance to grab the next cigarette. I tried to clean my taste bugs with harder drink to make sure I feel the smoke. I failed to find Fun and I lived a miserable life. Hate it!
Over period, I have realised that looking back at those bad times, gives me strength. It helps me feed my passion. The anger of wasting all those precious years, only motivates me to get into my passion state even quicker.
You have got to measure your steps. You were a bad person yesterday and you have walked some meters ahead in your life. If you canβt find love in the distance you covered, you need to look deeper. Your journey to making your today possible, is worth it.
Conclusion
If you have not yet started your journey. Or if you have not yet discovered your passion. You are not late. Start 30 days challenge. Print 30 days boxes on a paper. Hang it in your home. Promise yourself, no more wasting your time. And no more living a life in hell.
You will feel the buzz right now. Your repentance will eat your guilt away. You will feel depth in your smile. Your talk will become loud. You will get into writing your plans immediately.
Life will become so much colorful right now.
We are living in year 2020, and if you do not get rich tomorrow, honestly it is no bodyβs fault. Pin it to your chest β it is your Fault. You living a life of poverty, is your own fault.
