I am passionate about art. I never realized that my artwork held so much passion be it with technique, idea or color. I agree with the obsessiveness towards your passion. I just cant seem to shut up about it. I could talk for hours and not get bored. I
Have a question though. when you guys are doing your passion or merely thinking of it, do you feel overwhelmed and feel like your chest and throat are restraining because of the intense emotion

hi. im kruteen. i really feel like i have stretched it to my last point of endurance here. i am 23 years old and still a foundation year student from london. before that i was in university for one year and i was doing maths and finance but i did not pass (because of two reasons i had an anxeity for maths but i wanted to do it for the money and 2nd i didnt put alot of effort in) and now im confused as to what i want to study at university and what should i to do after that. i am very ambitious and creativei like attention to detail and i and someday i believe i will have a very succesfull business but im not sure what in exactly. lol i know this sounds lame and funny but i am very confused as to what to study as an undergraute. and thereafter what should i follow as a career.. im really good at art and it has been my hobby since i was young. but i wonder sometimes that a career in art wont be as challenging enough for me although its fun and my family thinks i will be a waste of time. can u help me?

I’m graduating with a Marketing Management major and still not sure if do I really belong here. You know, a Marketing degree holder. I only took this degree because I want to get away from college easily. And now, this is my problem. Do I really want to work for a company? Or to do business? I’m not sure where to go.

Finding out what you’re passionate about can sometimes get a little discouraging, especially when you feel “old.” When you get used to simply “going through the motions” it’s hard to break free and find out what you want to do, even though you feel a big black VOID where complete happiness should be. You want to know what it feels like to do something that you WANT to do, something that you wake up every morning excited for. This post definitely has a few eye openers to that. I especially agree with “you’d do it for free.” A lot of the most successful businesses/companies were started as a hobby because someone enjoyed doing something without expecting anything in return. One creative idea turned into a hefty income!
I also wrote a couple of ways you can find your passion :

That is a tough one. It sounds like a job that stinks buy is a steady source of income (security), versus potential increased job satisfaction that could bring more risk.

Maybe the interim step is to interview for new jobs that are in the field you want. You could always start your own company too… not sure if your ready for the sense of insecurity though. (but in my mind, it is the most secure – I don’t think anyone has ever fired themselves).

I have to find what I am passionate about.. I am so miserable at my job… I am 42, married, one 17yr old daughter… home life is great. I really feel like I am missing something in my life. I want to do something that makes a difference and makes me happy.

Hi Aldor – What about coaching? What about starting a business that is a football camp? What about building a system that evaluates players and skills? I believe that our passion can always play out in business but does NOT need to be a direct translation of our passion. For example, I love lacrosse. But like you, I am not remarkably good… and I am WAY too old to even consider it. But that doesn’t mean that lacrosse is over for me, I can manifest it in a business form.

Now, truth be told, I love technology way more then I do lacrosse. And I love entrepreneurship the most. Hence what I do.

The key thing is that passion brings about persistence. If we are in a field we are passionate about, we stick to it. And the stick-to-it-ness brings about success. Not just financial (like you are experiencing), but both financial and happiness.
