We hear this a lot – “Do what you feel passionate about. Go after your dreams.”
Dreams and passions support each other well, but they are subtly different.
A dream is a goal—a specific vision that motivates you, where you see yourself doing something. It has multiple feelings and structures, such as love, ambition, step-by-step directions, and often a life purpose, but it is not much without passion, which is the choice to take action to achieve your dream, work hard, and create. It has a positive drive that will run you if you let it.
Passion is a profound like, love, forward energy force, and commitment to something, and it can be related to your skills and work. Even at 50 – 60 – 70, when society might tell you you’re running down and out, you have passions you can show and apply to live an exceptional life. You are relevant – significant – and valuable in your wisdom years.
Some of my oldest passions and dreams are still burning bright.
What fuels your fire and makes you the kingpin front and center?
There is purpose in passion. An active ambition with work that helps us achieve a profound sense of fulfillment. Passions usually make us feel good. Passions also create change.
Just as your special skills and abilities are your unique values, your passion greatly adds to that unique worth. It’s what you bring to the table and the answer to one of my favorite coaching questions:
What do you do better than anyone else on the face of the earth?
