What did you used to want to be when you grew up? What did your parents want you to do and what kind of work did they do themselves? Consider too, what work they did not want you to do. As soon as you begin to be influenced by
dreams of others you start to conform and put your own dreams aside in favour of convention. Sometimes too, you end up working in an area in which you are skilled and experienced, often relating to subject you were best at in school.
Unfortunately, what you are best at, is not always same as what you love to do.
Think about what you do that fills you with energy, makes you want to get up in morning and causes time to fly. Conversely, think about what makes you feel tired, bores you, or you always leave until last. If you know what you don't like to do, maybe you enjoy doing opposite?
Why passion matters -------------------- Anyone lucky enough to really enjoy work they do, will be enthusiastic about their career. That enthusiasm will be evident to clients and colleagues, and in turn, will lead to success.
When you do something you love this enthusiasm keeps you motivated through bad times, but maybe, more importantly, it allows you to be authentic.
Kathleen Bader, is Business Group President at DOW. 'Unless you work according to your passion and your values you have no hope of living authentically,' she said.
Bader is passionate about equality and has used her strong beliefs to initiate such changes within company that it now boasts a range of women friendly policies relating to maternity leave and flexible working among others.
'Leadership is action, not position,' Bader continued, advising that we care deeply, listen, act according to our passions and tell our stories. These days we are encouraged to admit to a private life and a family outside work. Talking about them shows that we are whole and normal human beings, not automatons.
As we move from age of technology to age of spirituality, more and more individuals and companies recognise value of authenticity, energy and engagement. The success of a business depends on personal success of its employees. Be good to yourself and your company and find your passion now.
