Today I read an article from Forbes.com “Don't Follow Your Passion -- Or You Might Be Disappointed” by Liz Ryan. The title seems to be a bit opposite of what most articles might be titled that’s what caught my eye. Ok, so don’t follow your passion? Would that really be the advice to give people?
The article starts out with a letter from reader basically saying they like most of what Liz writes about but to stop telling people a fairytale! She responded because she receives hundreds of letters saying similar things…we work for money and that’s the bottom line. If you’re lucky you might like your job don’t try to sell a dream. Liz responded by letting the readers know that even if we aren’t in our job of our dreams or job of choice. There are ways to put yourself into the job, to be innovative in your work and bring your talents to the table. Liz also talked about failures, failures are opportunity to learn, opportunity to grow. She also said people fear failure, scared to try new things, resistant of change. That’s perfectly normal but if you never face your fears your basically stuck in one spot never progressing. The person that wrote the letter had the attitude that I, myself have had many times with the dreaded interview question…Why do want to work here? My uncensored response would be: “to make money” of course! But in reality, wouldn’t it be great to truly answer “because this is my dream!” or “because this is what I truly love” I believe it’s possible to follow your dreams and for some people it may just be to take the plunge and just do it! You must take risks sometimes or you could live your life never knowing if you could have succeeded in making money from your passion or dream job. Life is about difficulties without them you would never progress. Make sacrifices if you don’t you may never realize your full potential!
