How can Passion for Waht you do Motivate you to Succeed
In any business practice, it is your attitude and passion for what you're doing, that can strongly motivate you to succeed. It has rightly been said that success comes to those who seek it. However, it would not be wrong to add that success comes to those who seek to fulfill their goals passionately.
It has been found that in every field of human endeavor, it is passion that can trigger peak performance and motivate you to succeed. Research indicates that highly successful men and women, regardless of their place of birth or the color of their skin or their circumstances, are those who have an ardent desire and passion, to give their all and attain their very best in whatever they set their minds to accomplish.
It is not who your parents are, but who you are and how zealously you pursue your goals, that really accounts for your success. Studies have shown that 52% of the CEOs of the Fortune 500 companies are from lower middle class families and 80% of the millionaires in America are first generation millionaires. In all business practices, it has become increasingly apparent that opportunities await those who have the passion and the will to succeed.
Passion is an inner positive force; it can energize and 'push' you to attain the goals you have set for yourself. It is passion which triggers motivation and spurs you on to succeed. Even ordinary persons with limited means, can achieve dramatic results when the element of passion persistently exists in the pursuit of goals. When passion for what you do is based on sound moral principles, it can motivate you to succeed.
Here are FIVE practical ways that show how passion for what you do can motivate you to succeed:
1. By using your belief
In any business practice, being passionate about what you are doing, leads you to believe in yourself, in your worth and in the work you are doing. Believe that you can do something worthwhile; believe that you can achieve your goals and ultimately succeed; believe that you can achieve what you dream about with the force of passion. This belief will boost your ego and give you an added impetus to succeed. The key is to know what you truly want to do and how passionately you want to pursue it; only then you can move forward with conviction to meet with success.
2. By using your potential
Having a strong passion for what you do makes it easier for you to tap your potential and use it to the fullest extent. All of us are gifted with natural basic traits; when motivated to make good use of these, could help you to succeed and achieve great things. When passionately motivated, you can recognize, develop and use your potential to become successful. To climb the ladder of success in any field of human endeavor, it is your desire, passion and will to succeed, that will reap rich rewards.
3. By using concentrated focus
Good business practice entails using concentrated focus at every stage in the pursuit of the goals set. It is your passion for what you do, that can keep you motivated and be crystal clear about the path you wish to take. Defining your sense of purpose and staying focused on what you truly and passionately want to achieve, can be your road to success. Know clearly what to focus on before taking any action; this is essential for you to stay motivated. When you know your goal, commit to it and begin to put effort into achieving it.
4. By using effective communication
In any business endeavor, it is your passion in the specific area that can motivate you to communicate effectively and impact your clients or business associates or even your competitors. By using your communication skills through effective expression of your thoughts, knowledge and beliefs, you can be persuasive and get others to cooperate with you in your work. Depending on your communication skills, people will like you, help you in your business, respect you, work with you and much more. Building a good rapport with all those you come in contact with, is the golden key to success.
5. By using the element of hope
It is your hope, your ardent desire to accomplish your goals and meet with success that can motivate you to move in the right direction and take appropriate action. Meaningful action executed with passion, can lead to success in your work. In life and business, there are very few situations that could be termed “hopeless.” It is only when you lose hope in the face of challenges that you encounter failure. When the going gets tough and you remain hopeful, you will be rewarded. The rewards then will be far more significant than what you could have got monetarily. True success comes from things money can’t buy.
- Conclusion
In the business world, in any business practice, passion coupled with hard work, determination and commitment can motivate you to succeed. A lot of it also depends on your personal values as what’s most important to you in moving your life forward.
Success is more an inner gratification of what you are deeply passionate about doing. Finally, true success depends on one simple factor, “Many things in your life matter, but only one thing matters absolutely; it is finding the essence of who you are.”- Eckhart Tolle
