Sometimes ago, a friend told me how well he had seen me
doing with writing – well “I’m just beginning a movement,” I thought.
“I think I can write if I mean it, but…what keeps you
going?,” he queried.
“One mistake which many people make is to erect edifices on
wrong soils.
And when the soil goes wary, the foundation shakes and the
edifices are threatened with awful collapse on grounds of discontent.”
“Building your passion around your career could be dangerous
due to the ease at which you could switch careers, especially when you think
that a certain career will satisfy you more by paying you better.”
“While changing careers may have little or no effect on your
inherent gifts and your passion for them, the reverse may deal a blow on you.
Building your career around your passion will afford you the ease of
redirecting your passion towards any new terrain or even scatter it across
different terrains with the same objectives and similar result.”
While we discussed, we switched to the business of
copywriting for his company.
That’s a new terrain with the same passion for the gift of
writing.
What you love to do, keeps you happily alive.
For many, this may not make sense now it's a matter of time.
