Passionate And Ambitious People

An ambitious person you ask; the word is associated mostly with an extreme desire to succeed. That being said, the person would go any length any height for the sake of his goal. He couldn’t care less about anything other than the goal. Social life, relationships, people, money are either mere steps or obstacles for an ambitious person. The Goal is the keyword here.

Passion is more of an emotional term. You might not be talented for some art but your passion can turn you into a master. The aura of something so strong that you can’t help but zone out into your own world. A passionate person cares more about personal emotional fulfillment rather than the outcome. Inner happiness/Emotional fulfillment is the keyword here.

There’s something deeper than ‘being good at what you do’ that’s so magnetising — it’s being passionate about what you do.

And I’m not talking about people who scribble ‘self-motivated’ or ‘driven’ on their CVs in the self-proclaimed Skills section. Neither am I referring to the ideology behind the quote I once had the misfortune of seeing an Instagram celebrity post: “I don’t love rich men; I love ambitious men and ambitious men are never poor.” I mean, seriously. Lastly, this kinda passion doesn’t manifest itself in inefficient workaholism. In fact, I’d proffer that passionate people work smart, not hard. Which brings me to my point:

Being passionate makes you good at what you do. Passion for something drives you to delve deeper into its inner workings, and to build on the work of past pioneers for the advancement of that field. It’s a rabid hunger that growls ‘how?’ ‘why?’ and ‘why not?’ until one day that teacher, tiler or tradesman, through passion, perfection and sheer persistence, finds themselves at the top of their game.

…and getting better makes you more confident, which is the bee’s knees in attractive forces. Not to be confused with arrogance; this confidence stems from knowing that there’s a conference room, operating theatre, or some specific context where no one can pull the wool over your eyes. And that bubbles over into other areas of your life — you start speaking with authority, standing straight and all those other superhero characteristics.

As we learn more about our passions, we learn more about ourselves and life, and what could be more beautiful?

Passionate people are rarely bored, or boring. Opening your mind to new knowledge is all-consuming. You’re always discovering something or solving mysteries. The best foundation blocks for conversation and consequently relationships are people with something new and interesting to say. And when they speak, the passion ignites a fire so powerful that it draws you in and warms you from the inside out.

Passionate people challenge you to be more and to do more. It’s invigorating spending time with people who are unapologetically pursuing their passions. When you’re around them, your hangups dissolve and you think, even if just for a moment, that you too can be anything you want to be. This kinda passion is infectious.

Find your passion.
Feed it.
Flourish.

A LETTER TO THE PASSIONATE ONES!

You have spent countless nights awake , being stronger than your excuses. You believed you could, so you did. There were things you wouldn’t get over. Some things that stung you so hard ,they had set you back where you started, and you got hurt, and hurt and hurt, but you also rose from it. Its never an easy decision to make, and its never easy to accept that you might be walking down a path that will involve risks and new unknowns, but you continued. You Glow!!

Life dragged you, but you knew, it’s going to launch you into something great, and you never gave up. Just like every hard thing in you life,  you’ve made it through this too. You decided to choose guts over fear. You handled yourself at your worst. Now, here you are! Independent, compassionate. You got this!

Its mesmerizing to think about you struggling, being restless and afraid, still buckling up the next day to face the hurdles. You threw yourself into work. You got through all the problems getting up each day and putting one foot in front of the other. You adapted and survived no matter how hard it got. You shaped your own reality. You are incredible!
