Each individual goes through a unique set of life experiences that shape his/her likes, dislikes. These experiences also provide a uniquely personal perspective about things around them. Some of these experiences at times touch you deeply specially if they are hurtful or unpleasant to you or to a loved one. It kindles a desire in you to see that you or your loved ones do not have to go through the same experience again. You begin to feel passionate about it and you feel compelled to do something about it. Your passion drives you to put in your best efforts which in turn brings out positive results. Following your passion gives a sense of purpose and meaning to your life and it brings in new energy to your life.
According to Richard Chang, one may discover his/her passion by a sudden life-changing experience, by your own intuition or slowly through your day to day experiences. One must follow his heart and intuition in life in making the choices and not just accept others’ advice or prescription blindly. It is important that you love what you do.
