Build On Your Passions

GET NOTICED BY FOLLOWING your passion: doing what you love. When you work at what you love, you perform better and enjoy it mor. When your passion shines through, you make connections naturally. Your passions make it easy for you to express yourself and influence others. People identify with your passion, and it excites them. They pay close attention and follow you.

When you’re excited about what you do, you bounce out of bed each morning because you can’t wait to start. You dive right into your work and savor it throughout the day. It makes time fly. Here are some of the things passion can do:

Passion attracts: Passion people are magnets.

Passion motivates: Passion whets your appetite and feeds your curiosity.

Passion Unites: Passionate teams accomplish wonders because they believe that everything is possible and no problem is too great to overcome.

Create a Passion

Passion doesn’t always hit you with a seismic jolt. Although it can come on suddenly with a bang, it also can build gradually. As you work, learn, and become more involved, your enthusiasm can develop. When you master your interests and become acknowledged as an expert, it can take hold.

When you master your interests and become acknowledged as an expert, it can take hold. If you stop to take stock, you suddenly may realize that you love what you do, understand how much you have achieved, and become aware of the benefits it provides.

Most people think that passion is always instinctive and beyond their control, but I disagree. Passion can also be learned and increased. Here’s how:

• Surround yourself with active people.
• Be with interesting people.
• Spend time with positive people.
• Eliminate negative people from your life.
• Take chances.
• Enroll in programs.

Building with Success

As you develop expertise, your passion can grow. When you succeed, you earn compliments, respect, and acclaim, and that is extremely rewarding. It’s also addictive and makes you want more. The fact that others appreciate your accomplishments will encourage you to try harder to retain that standing and surpass your past successes. When you realize how far you’ve come, how well you have mastered your interest, it fires you up. As an expert, you can charge more, earn greater respect, attract top customers and clients, and help people more. More people will want to refer their friends and associates to you because they know that you will make them look good. Answering questions, solving problems, and displaying your expertise stimulate you and make you feel great.

Passion is contagious and is the type of disease you want.
