Warning: Our strengths may not be our passion

·        Are you the best performer in any specific Domain/Department?

·        Are you being continuously incentivised and rewarded for this by your peers or company?

·        Are you recognised as the best in that domain and it is projected that your domain of your reward is your strength?

If this has been happening to you and still at the end of everyday if you feel incomplete this is a warning article to trigger your thoughts. Yes my dear friends. Your strengths may not be your passion.

The one in which we are rewarded and recognised most of the times has the component of universal interest rather than our interest .It could be as simple as our strength could be projected as maths as we could be bright student and we would be made to work to score full marks in maths and rewarded for it. In corporate we be continually rewarded for being an excellent sales person year on year so the sales target is met .Lets think for a while is that really our strength or our passion . Most of the times what we think as strength may be a projected strength perceived by others and insisted on us by continuous rewarding and reinforcing to maintain predictability of universal benefit .

Ideally we should be working on our passion and not on projected strengths. A passion is something which shall make one’s body mind and soul gets dissolved in it. Time, Failures and Ups and Downs become bed of roses when we work on it.

As our Dr APJ says “Dream is not the thing you see in sleep but is that thing that doesn't let you sleep”. If dream is passion and if we choose the passion as our vehicle for our success there is no working hours towards it. Work becomes an art.

Else most of the times we climb up the ladder of success to reach the top and later we find the ladder is leaning against the wrong wall.

If one wants to truly enjoy the taste of success may be its time to evaluate Is my strength is my passion?
