Peace, Passion Ya Paisa ??

Peace, Passion Ya Paisa ??

Sometimes the best career path is the one you blaze yourself

With all that power comes great responsibility, You have to build and keep your own schedule, manage your workspace and equipment and develop and maintain a stable of clients and projects. You also have to handle more complexity when it comes to start-up costs, cash flow, health insurance, saving for retirement, taxes and other financial matters. Whether the pros are worth the cons really depends on your personal priorities and preferences, but?I believe certain jobs work better for the self-employed than others.

The longer you remain at a firm without learning new skills or advancing, you fall behind your competition. Often, the only way to earn more money and learn new skills is by moving on to another opportunity.

“Choose a job you love, and you’ll never work a day in your life”

But on the other side, there are TED talks of successful people, parents and friends telling you that “following your passion is the secret of success.” And you feel confused and anxiously question whether you should follow your passion blindly with little chance to get money from it or choose a career that you don’t even like just because the job itself seems promising for your future. Money is definitely a powerful tool, but choosing to chase it often comes at the price of not being able to do something you love, you are passionate about, and look forward to every day. Now, It's on you to decide!

It is worth noting that should you choose to pursue your passion, workdays will seem less monotonous, and there won’t be a dull feeling washing over you when the alarm clock rings. It’s true that a day of work still remains a day of work, whether you like the job or not. However, the small factors in and around it do change and ultimately have an impact on our overall sense of self.

Growth in a career is more probable when the job consists of things that motivate you. Being passionate is directly linked to being productive. If it really is something you’re passionate about, there is a sense of being content with what you have accomplished during the work hours and beyond. The by-product of your work will be something you take pride in, and that will serve in giving you a reason to keep doing it.

But How to Decide Between Paisa and Passion?

Choosing between these two is an ancient dilemma that troubles the mind of all. The stakes are pretty high as only a handful of people are fortunate enough to find a job that pays well?and fulfills them.

This is backed by research, too : According to a survey by?Harris Interactive, only 20% of people across America feel passionate about their jobs. On the other hand, Pew Research Center ,?found that about half (49%) of American employees are very satisfied with their job.

So, should you try and settle for a promising career without much passion, or should you risk it for a job that you love and fulfills you?

Well, there is no simple yes or no answer to this question, and there are many important factors to consider before deciding between a job for money vs passion.

Both of the options have a yin and yang, and sometimes deciding between the two can seem like mission impossible. But, that shouldn’t be the case, and it won’t be if you study your options closely and decide based on facts and feelings equally.

At the end of the day, isn’t your fulfillment and ability to say that you’re happy with your choices the most important thing?

According to Forbes , when we tell people to follow their passion, we assume they have one, which is not always the case. Your passion can change with time, and that is entirely normal. Plus, you can have interests that aren’t necessarily something you love but merely something you find appealing and intriguing that can also serve as a money-making career.

There are many things to take into consideration while taking such decision for the path in which you want your life to follow. You have to look at all sides carefully and then decide how and what you should be doing and do it.

  • be aware of the time frames and use your?time wisely so that you are not pressured into a last-minute decision
  • plan ahead, and?act?quickly where you can.

According to Tim Cook:
“Work takes on new meaning when you feel you are pointed in the right direction. Otherwise, it’s just a job, and life is too short for that.”

Individuals from middle-class backgrounds often prioritize familial stability over immediate personal aspirations. However, a strategic approach can reconcile both. By dedicating a minimal daily timeframe to passion-oriented activities, such as research, study, or practice, individuals can gradually build expertise over several years. This systematic development can potentially transition into a primary income source, enabling a fulfilling career aligned with personal passions.

First comment that comes into my mind when reading this article: Are you able to support your love ones when leaving a well paid job? The answer to this is important. Of course everybody (nearly everybody) dreams being active in a passionate job, however, not everybody can afford it. This way live passes by, without dreams but probably sufficient money in your pocket. If what I just mention is true, it remains that leaving a comfort zone is always a memorable decision, but risky.
