How To Tell If You Really Love Doing What You Are Doing
Or another apt headline for this would be: How to tell if you’re meant to be doing what you’re doing.
The first headline may sound paradoxical and inaccurate, but it’s something worth talking about it because it’s filled with nuances and emotions.
You may be thinking, “If someone has passion, then they definitely love it! They’ve so much success in life because of it! And, they’re helping others!”
Words like ‘passion’, ‘success’ and ‘helping others’ are honestly buzzwords today. They’re easy and fun to talk about at cocktail parties, write in a blog post or use in a seminar speech, but if you bother to dig deeper, you’d see that they’re extremely complicated, not to mention subjective ideas.
The idea of passion today is muddled as people conveniently conclude that they love doing it because it makes them successful.
The idea of success today is touched on mostly on a surface level, wherein things like money and fame speak the loudest.
The idea of helping others today is corrupted as people use it to humblebrag and lure others into thinking they’re servants of humanity when really, they’re just salespeople.
