Have you ever heard of passion? Of course, you have since it’s used a lot by motivational speakers. I don’t have the intention to become a motivational speaker but I would never talk about it. I don’t even know what it is. You can’t eat it or be it. It’s just an empty emotion that makes sure that you do absolutely nothing. That’s what it is, nothing more and nothing less. Passion is the zero but obsession is the alpha. Passionate people aren’t getting anything done in a day. They do a lot but it’s all dead time. Passionate people seem to be afraid of acting on something that they like. Can you guess how many bills get paid with passion? None!
You don’t have to follow it. You have to work hard and it’ll follow you. Most people don’t seem to get it. People who’re passionate tend to focus on all the wrong things. They memorize facts that you’ll never need. They do things that will never get them anything in life. There are a lot of marriages who end because someone is taking his/her passion a bit too far. We all know someone like that. But is does it always come from the fear of acting?
Passion and the fear of acting
It doesn’t always come from the fear of acting but most people are afraid. They wonder if they really could do something with their passion. So they do it occasionally and lose their abilities over time. It’s a sad event that happens more and more. They use the act of escapism to forget about it. Or they lie to themselves. They assume that they’ve got time enough and neglect the fact that they’re going to die. Oh, you’re not doing the right thing if you need a motivational video to get motivated. That’s only for the ones who’re passionate.
Others are bored and just learn a little bit of everything. It might sound like you’re really smart but knowing everything means that you know nothing. Those people just don’t seem to find something that they like. They’re just looking for a purpose or a sense of direction. They mostly never find it because they don’t realize that you need to focus on one thing at a time.
Passion: in conclusion
I realize that I simplified things but there’s really nothing more to it. It’s straight to the point. Get your head out of your ass and start living. I’ll ask you the same question as before: how many bills did your passion? None.
So Alex it doesn’t pay bills but what does it do?
It kills!
What does it kill Alex?
It kills relations, dreams, friendships…
It doesn’t pay bills but it definitely kills.
Do you get it? Good then it’s time to get started
