The Art of Passion Provokes Direct Success

In terms of decision making, society has always been a brick wall that many find has a tendency to fear doing certain things. The thoughts of other individuals, the reactions that many may generate within themselves, or the hour long conversations where one may gossip about you is not ideal either. I feel like we’ve all been there. We may have had a passion in which we are willing to put all our blood, sweat, and tears into yet the thought of judgement may never leave our mind. Although society can be supportive in some cases, it’s important to consider that the opinions that it creates are directly based upon the morals and ethics of individuals as a result of their upbringing. On the contrary, it’s also crucial to consider the general aspects of morality and ensure that you are doing the right thing for yourself and others. Maintaining a sense of right and wrong, as you continue your passion will allow yourself to become not only a successful individual in the industry, yet also as a person. 

Writing a personal blog is an aspect that I haven’t been familiar with, or necessarily ever done. I feel like we tend to compare ourselves with what those around us have, yet we don’t understand what we already have. This mindset of not having what other’s have can poison us entirely, and make us feel like we’re ending up nowhere, despite the actions that we are taking to become better. Despite the scenario, being grateful, and not living up to society’s exceptions is alright! 

There have been various cases where you may want to become a painter/or a musician as a profession, yet your parents or loved ones don’t support you because of your decision. It’s important to consider that at the end of the day you are going to be working in that profession, and you will be playing a role in society for the profession. Whatever the case might be, it will all come down to you. If the individuals around you choose not to support you, it’s important to elaborate on why you want to do it or what it might bring for you because at the end of the day they are also looking out for what’s best for you.

Becoming what you want profession wise is important, as that will be your driving mechanism that will push you to become better at the field you choose to be in. Considering that, if you are wanting to become a popstar and have an angelic voice, yet your parents want you to become a doctor and you’re not good at science, you may be setting yourself up for failure in terms of interest in the subject & desires. That is not to say that if you’re not good at a subject and you have a passion for it you shouldn’t pursue it, yet you should work harder to become better at it. Becoming a popstar with the brilliance of songwriting and singing could end up allowing you to connected to millions of people. The more people like your music (or whatever you choose to do), the more you will be paid for the job. All in all, it’s important to understand what you want to do, and not allow society’s opinions to make your dreams a reality.
