Passion - Week One

When reading and watching this weeks assigned material, my initial feeling and thoughts were of passion. Each article or video gave inspirational thoughts on entrepreneurship, all of which made me think of passion. Passion in life, passion in what we do, who we are and where we will end up. 

"So while the view ahead may be foggy, there’s plenty you can do, right now, to forge ahead. You can work hard to uncover special skills and talents. You can pay attention to which activities bring you great joy. You can commit to master skills or areas so that you start attracting opportunities to you. You can commit to new and exciting adventures—even ones as short as a year or two—which, when woven together, can make the path of a calling clearer." this is from "What is the Introduction to Entrepreneurship Course?". This also correlates nicely with the video, "Do what you love and the money will follow". Guy Kawasaki explains that you can either do what you think will bring you money and be miserable and rich or do what you love and be happy and rich. This may not always be the case, you may end up happy and poor, however, I think in the long run being happy is going to be more important to me at the end of the day. 

Our Heavenly Father created us to have joy in this life. We must take the steps and follow our hearts to create that joy for ourselves. Man was not made to be idle and stagnate, we are to "to eat his bread by the sweat of his brow" (Moses 5:1). We need to work hard for what we want out of life and have the passion to go and get it.
