Millenial Professional’s Search For Passion
WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF YOUR LIFE?
WHAT IS YOUR PASSION?
YOUR CALLING?
Have you ever spent hours and years just breaking your head to find the answer to every Gen Y/Z’s greatest dilemma?
I’m sure most of you might have gone through it…some of you might be lucky to have found the answer…and some of you like me might have completely/arbitrarily absconded from the idea.
Back in 2017 I would spend days after days sitting in my cubicle in my Dental clinic scribbling pages after pages annotating what I believed were my skills, my gifted talents, things I believed I’m passionate about and foolish ideas I could grab from the internet that has helped people achieve success and fame overnight. I believe most of the youth in India who had started there startups/jobs with a modest/meagre income would have gone through it. Thanks to the 2016 overnight ‘Demonetization Call‘ made by Central Govt. Of India crashing the economy and creating a zero cash scenario in the market.
The hasty decision created such a fuss in the country that people would rather suffer pain than part money for a dental treatment.You would understand my plight if you were someone who had just started a venture of a retail type during those days or if you happened to be a dentist practicing in India where convincing patients for aesthetic and non-emergency functional treatment is as good as convincing your three-tiered family for an inter-caste marriage.
Anyways That’s ‘Life‘ and you learn to live through it anyhow and somehow I, like millions like me (grace the Indian population) , had survived that grim period.
But it left me with a permanent disappointment and dissatisfaction that the ‘Academic Laurels’ I’d earned spending years lacked something…or I lack skills to monetize it to a whooping success…or it’s just not my thing like how can people be sure what would be best for them at the age of 17…sigh
Over years I worked with dissatisfaction to a point I almost gave up what I did…I then started pursuing a career in things I had jotted down in my ‘stressful moments’ as my TRUE CALLING…that would unleash my MAGICAL POWERS.
I tried learning several skills. Loved doing them for a while but it didn’t give me any money, not even a quarter of what I earned drilling and restoring teeth. You need riches right isn’t that what you keep reading all over internet, magazines and newspapers
“Success Stories Of People Who Followed Their Passion Turning Them Into Millionaires”
If you’ve gone through this Catch-22 like situation and still not found your calling you must have realised and learned One thing by now
All These Success Stories Is A Myth (it’s not that those people are fake)
The myth is NOT EVERYBODY WILL HAVE A SUCCESSFUL PASSIONATE CAREER AT THE BRINK OF YOUTH.
NOT EVERY PASSIONATE PURSUIT REAPS A MONEY PLANT nor does the gusto stay 24*7 for 365 days or lifetime…I’m not bluffing
All you need to do is HAVE FAITH IN YOUR FATE…nothing happens in your life for no reason…even if the subject you graduated in sucks or wasn’t your choice remember it still gets you bread and butter.
Keep Flowing With The Current And Polish Whatever Little Skills You Have. You Will Discover Your Happy Path When You Are Not Searching For It. Just Keep An Eye On Things People Come To You For Help Or Appreciate You About.
Eventually one day the tide of world/society will change and it might bring success for you…
Or someday you’ll find the keys of closed doors in the corner you didn’t look…
Remember ‘Mediocrity‘ didn’t kill anybody, it’s the disappointment we carry that leaves us stressed.
FLOW
AND THE PASSION WILL FOLLOW
