Saima Ikram
The society’s current obsession with social media is proving to be quiet detrimental to the self-esteem and well-being of many people. The mindless need and urge to stay constantly connected to the digital world leads to a feeling of inadequacy and wastage of time that can be spent in carving their own passion. It is because, with social media, people have allowed others to control how others perceive them.
But if you recognize your own ability to see your life through an honest lens, you will realize that following your passion can change your life and even of the lives of those who live around you. Following are the ways that can help you carve up your passion:
Listen to the inner voice:
In life, people prefer to make convenient choices rather than the heartfelt ones. But in order to carve your passion, you need to make choices that take you nearer to your goals. Take some time to reflect what hobbies you want to pursue over the years, what you are naturally good at, what others consult you for advice etc.
Have patience:
In order to do things that your heart desires, you need to give it time. You cannot find your passion at once; you can pursue it overtime by picking up all the smaller clues on the way.
Understand the sacrifice:
You cannot pursue your passion until understand to make sacrifice. You will have to compromise on a lot of things in order to follow your passion. You should always be prepared to make those sacrifices in order to live a life you desire.
Improve your skill:
You need to have a skill in order to pursue your passion because if you don’t have the skill you will never be able to survive financially. Make your passion your professions by mastering the skill that can help you earn a good living.
Define what success means to you:
You need to know what standards you have set for your success. Hold yourself to the standards you have set and think about the thing that drives you to achieve more. Allow yourself to formulate new ideas, solve problems, and strategize ways to build upon your efforts. You need to stay persistent for the goals that you are passionate about.
