We’ve always heard here and there that we have to follow our passion. What do we exactly mean by that? Do we imagine there is one particular job chosen by God which meets all of our needs and wants? Not quite, actually. We may suppose that we will be fulfilled if we decide to take our ideal career path. In fact, we likely may. Meanwhile, there is distinction needs to be made. Obviously, İt isn’t job itself that makes us excited, but our feelings towards that particular job makes us content and happy. Relatedly, while there are so many millionaires who are not really satisfied for their life, there are also countless modest gardeners who don’t have bigger expectations. As a result, latter group is relatively more likely to achieve happiness and fulfillment in their lives.

In turns out the most crucial decision we have to make is to concentrate on content of the job, which is internal, rather than context of the job, which is external. To be more clear, internal satisfaction always outweighs external expectations. Yes, intuition is this simple but appearances don’t always tell the truth.

Our life choices of who do we love are generally to accommodate external circumstances, not internal situation. Take job for example. If we love jobs that involves interacting with people, we will more likely choose a job that allows us to interact with people. Otherwise, we may end up in a job that is completely passionless for us.

Take a look at your house and notice what do you love? Maybe you love particular items in your house such as kitchen appliances that you use daily. Maybe you love your books and other collectibles. You get the point.

There are genuinely many kinds of loves and few of those are especially self-oriented.

It is time to discover something that you really like doing and then make that kind of activities your daily routine.

We may benefit ourselves by understanding what our lives are generally lacking of. As a result, we will be able to figure out what is the essence of true happiness. To be honest, the best way is to always associate ourselves with positive people. These kind of people will greatly support us, provide us with good advice and most importantly will help us to improve our lives. One of the functions of friends is to serve as prompts in life.

In fact, we may not be able to do as well as expected in our work if we don’t know what our special talents are. In this case, having tremendous passion will greatly add to our capacities.

Final time, we should know that your passion may not overlap to only your work. Sometimes, it may be even beyond. We shouldn’t be discouraged if we aren’t getting praise as much as we expect. After all, family, friends and loved ones are the ones who value us always.

Life may seem to be a book with only one chapter if you don’t take time to read the whole book. There is a particular script and we don’t have to change the original fictional plot. The key is to be in the right place, at the right time.

At a certain point in life, we may feel that finding a soul mate is like winning the lottery. It may seem as a fairy tale.

Let’s be together with people who share our dreams of our lives and make this story more exciting. Hopefully, the message has come across.

There is no second chance, we have to make only the best of our lives. If we love what we do, we can succeed. If we do what we love, we may succeed in our own way.

The time has come to take responsibility for our own lives and reach for a true sense of fulfillment and happiness; to discover who we are, to define our relationship with our higher self and to discover our special purpose in life.
