I love this article written by Esther Litchfield-Fink titled Why hard work might not pay off (and what will). This article that Esther has written is a very well thought
out and beautifully written article about how we should put our passions first.
If you are looking for a life filled with passion, I know you will
enjoy her article as much as I did.
In today’s world it can
be sometimes difficult to put your passions first but with a few
mindful changes that Esther perfectly written about in her article I believe anyone can live a passionate life. I have
noticed that the truly successful people are doing what they love and
all great success was done with
passion. So if you really want to be successful you have to find what
you are passionate about and do it to the fullest.
The best part about living a passionate
life is that you don't have to quit your day job to live a passionate
life. You can start right where you are. I know that you may be
thinking that I am working a full-time job and I have 10 kids. How
can I find the time to work on my passions? By the yard it hard but
inch by inch anything is a cinch. Focus and Determination are key.
First figure out what you are passionate about then work out a
detailed plan to make it happen. Once you have all the details
figured out work on it one hour a day and make those hours count. It
may take a lot of patience, but those hours add up to the life of
your dreams. Don't worry about motivation at first. Esther in her
article said it perfectly “Passion is not always strong and
powerful. It can be calm and deep. Don't worry about motivation. Once
you feel the passion for something, the motivation comes with little
effort.” I wholeheartedly agree with this. Just start and keep
going.
One of the best advises in Esther's
article that I loooove is “Hide from those that bring you down”.
YES YES YES!!! Esther said, “Steer clear of the “hard work and
little passion and play” people. Seek out those that understand how
acting from passion first enhances your life and the life of everyone
around you.” This is very important. I use to have people around me
that use to sap my energy because I wasn't living up to their
expectations. It was very hard, but I had to let those people go and
avoid them like the plague because they were not helping me to get to
where I need to be. Avoid people who bring you down and have no desire to help you achieve your dreams.
In Esther's Article, she said, “Know
that sometimes life is hard. And work is hard. World and life events
and tragedies bring us down and out of happiness and passion. Know
that this is necessary so you can see the contrast of living from
passion first to living from the work hard place.” she said
Remember, when you have passion about something you are more willing
to take risks. Everyone can decide to work hard, but passion means
something different to each person. Follow yours.”
Living a passionate life is not always easy.
It may mean looking deep within yourself and making changes from within. It may mean reevaluating
your relationships and prioritizing your time, but I know that the
main ingredient to success is passion. Without passion all we have is
a feeling of being stuck, depression and anger. Passion gives us
balance. It is the thing that fills us with life.
What are you passionate about? What
gives you life? What feeds your soul? You have everything that you
need to succeed. Don't be afraid to live the passionate life... If
you are looking for ways to put your passions first please read
Esther Litchfield- Fink's article Why hard work might not pay off (and what will). Read her inspirational article and learn to put your
passions first because you are worth it.
God Bless
