Such an interesting conversation starter! This prompt got me thinking about the word “Passion” and trying to understand what it really means. And one of the definitions I found online was – ‘Passion is a driving force or motion that takes over and keeps you going regardless of the hurdles.’ Another site spoke about – ‘Passion applies to an emotion that is deeply stirring.’
As I was reading these, the instant thought that popped resonating to the above was, My job. Yes! My Job. I am extremely passionate about my job.
I work in the Learning and development dept. as a trainer. I started off as one. And it has only been getting better day by day. To talk to people, to exchange ideas, to debate on random topics, to experiment and to bring in the creativity, to read a lot and of course to write is what my job comprises of. And all of these are very dear to me and I find extreme pleasure doing what I am doing.
I’ve always been on the radar for being the most talkative/naughtiest kid right from childhood. Now to turn that into a living is so fun! I still can be the most talkative and also get paid for that exact thing. And the best part? No one’s gonna complain 😀
No matter what’s happening in my personal end, my professional life has always been fulfilling. The personal growth, positive attraction, increased self-confidence, networking is all helping me reconnect with my inner self.
And If this feeling of satisfaction with hunger to achieve more isn’t called passion, then I don’t know what else is!
