Passion

I hear a lot of advice from people about how to be successful and how to work hard, and while any and all advice is usually helpful,  I've realized that many people don't share the importance of passion, or even how to figure out what you're passionate about.

 I believe that anybody can be successful if they work hard enough,  but if you figure out what you're passionate about, & then work hard at that not only will you be successful,  but you'll also be happy. I've worked hard more than enough times to know that if I'm feeding into someone else's passion then I'm not feeding into my own,  and we all need to receive sometimes. We all need to feel like we're nourishing what is important to us, especially if our passions are in line with God's divine will.

God's purpose and our passions ultimately meets if we love the Lord, because He wants to give us the desires of our hearts.

Psalms 37:4: "Take delight in the Lord and he will give you the desires of your heart." 

How do you know what you're passionate about?

After you've prayed to God to reveal your true passions while you're waiting on his answer think about who you are as a person. A really good indication of what you're passionate about comes from things you like doing, so figure out what you like doing. Besides watching TV, browsing social media, and texting...if you didn't have ANY of those things what would you be doing?

Secondly, can any of the things you enjoy doing be used to help God's people? Can any of your talents spread his Word, or at least be done for a worthy purpose? 

Finally, realize that where there is a need, God has a supply. Some people fear following their dreams because of the risk involved, but all you really need to survive is faith and courage. If you want to be a writer, do whatever you have to do to be a writer, and if you want to be a dancer, make it happen! We only have one shot to make things happen, and hopefully you are blessed with the freedom to do what you gotta do! The money will come if it's meant to come, but regardless don't try and pattern your world around worldly worlds for the purpose of money alone! God's path is the right path, and though it make take time and diligence, He will reward you greatly in the end!


Good Luck & God Bless,
