Chase your passion, purpose and dream as if your life depended on it because it does.
Chase your passion, purpose and dream as if your life
depended on it because it does. In present day society, mediocrity has become
the norm for many. Due to financial breakdowns in large corporations,
dishonesty in community leaders, and other issues, the masses have felt a huge
need to become complacent. The feeling to not venture out the box is coupled
with a higher sense of guaranteed lifestyle. However, this is one of the
greatest deaths to a society and economy. Without a person who has a passion for
a specific career choice, it is hard to continue a productive society. If there
is no one who is willing to perform the duties of medical doctor for the
reasons of helping people, then there may be an increase of individuals who are
in the medical field because of the wrong reasons. Instead of working in the
career one enjoys, many work in a career for money or other immoral reasons.
This creates disgruntled employees, low satisfaction levels in the workplace,
and low levels of intrinsic motivation to succeed. In other words, everyone
should chase their passion, purpose and dreams as if their life depended on it.
Even though, the road to success in a desired career field is not easy,
following that passion is significantly better than ignoring the one’s purpose
in life. Furthermore, the decision to follow one’s dream has little to do with
the individual, but more to do with those around. For example, a friend decided
to resign for a guaranteed and financial comfortable position to pursue a
doctorate degree in a foreign country with a prestigious university. This
simple behavior inspired others around to follow their passion. This minuscule
action started a chain reaction. One may not know the effects of behavior on
others; however, those unknown effects can be great. In short, one’s decision
to follow a passion, dream and purpose is not about the person only; it is
about the community around them. This blog is about personal leadership within
an organization: YOUR organization.
