Normally when we hear about passion we associate this concept with words like enthusiasm, strong emotion or devotion, but true passion goes beyond that.
Today we will teach you a different perspective about this key to empowerment that has the potential to propel us towards success.
Your passion determines your future
It is possible that you have been working on meeting a series of personal, academic, professional or entrepreneurial goals that you have set for yourself. Surely you have determined a plan of action in your heart and you try every day to advance step by step towards this.
If not, then you should worry, because A mind without purpose is the garbage dump of others.. Will you wonder why? Simply because you will not be living your own life but the life that other people like your family, close friends and loved ones want, and in the end you will become the person that the media wants you to be.
That is why today it is so important that we talk about passion, because it will be decisive in the kind of person you are going to become in the next 5 years.
Passion is one of the engines of our existence
We almost always move in the direction of what we like, what we long for, because that is what we are passionate about. Passion is something very relative, because what some people are passionate about, such as football or cars,, may even make others uncomfortable or upset.
What are the things you are most passionate about in this life? Think about that sport, art or science that you invest the most time in, or that if you had the time, money and energy you would invest most of your life in. Since you are clear about what makes you vibrate and feel alive, Now it's time to turn everything on its head to look at this concept from a different perspective.. ✅
When you delve into the research and etymological roots of the word passion, you will find something very curious. On a transcendental level this has a much deeper meaning than what we normally know. And it turns out that one of the hidden meanings of the word passion is related to the word “Sacrifice.”. Because? Because the great heroes of history managed to perform great feats and sacrifices, leaving their mark on the lives of hundreds or thousands of people, even marking the history of humanity.
Passion is paying the price for the life you want
In other words; “Passion is paying the price today, for the achievements you want to achieve tomorrow.”
The above leads us to think that, if we want a better quality of life, a long-lasting and satisfying marriage, professional recognition, or a successful business, each of these achievements has a price that must be paid in terms of time, money and effort.
The question here is do you have the level of conviction and passion to sacrifice some resources, temporarily, for a much greater reward?
If your answer is yes, then You will strive every day to build intellectual, emotional, social, economic and transcendental foundations to overcome your obstacles and achieve your goals in the shortest time possible.. Only then can you begin to experience the life you want to enjoy now.
And if your answer is negative, then you may not be interested in living the rest of your life in peace, or leaving a mark on other people's lives.
Not everything is work and goals
Eventually we all need spaces for recreation and leisure to enjoy the wonders that life gives us. Do you know how to have a balance between these two dimensions of life? In the next video you will see a short and very old story about the true meaning of life. I hope you enjoy it and it takes you to a new level of consciousness and that it generates a direct impact on your life. Remember to send us your comments and questions to give you feedback.
