Follow Your Passion
When you wake up in the morning what do you wish for? I know when I wake up I think about what I want my life to be like. I want A family a beautiful wife, 3 beautiful kids( just like what my mom did with my siblings and I), A successful career( whatever one that may be), and most of all I want to live happy and pursue my dreams and passions. Don’t you want to follow your passion?
Don’t get me wrong being a billionaire would be fantastic, but having more money than I can spend isn’t really necessary. It most defiantly wouldn’t buy me happiness.
If you actually had all that money would you be happy forever? I doubt it. You would just be a able to buy anything you’ve ever wanted, which would get boring after a little while.
Now your probably wondering what this is suppose to all mean. First I wanted to get you thinking. I feel that’s very important. Nowadays, with all this amazing advancement of technology cellphones, Facebook, Twitter, etc… I feel a lot of people get sidetracked on what they truly want in life because no ones life is hidden anymore.
Too much gossip is going on about a celebrity wearing an ugly colored dress( like who really cares?) and because of this a lot of people keep thinking about about other peoples lives, and wanting to be just like them that they don’t actually think about what they truly want for themselves.
When you grow up a lot of people are all about the money, and some are just about surviving cause they don’t have that college education to make money. But what about when you were a kid? You had the greatest imagination in the world. The pretend best friend, if you were a girl you had a tea party with all your stuffed animals. Dragons, bears, lions, they were all your friends when you were 10 years old.
You actually talked to them and asked if they wanted you to feel up their cup of tea. You laughed, giggled, had a great time even though nobody was actually there. When you were a kid you always talked about being a doctor, cause you wanted to save peoples lives and make a difference, or maybe a lawyer because the good heart in you felt that even bad guys deserved second chances.
Now where are you at? Did you follow those dreams? Could you even afford to follow some of those dreams, because college prices have gone up so much since the 70’s. Or maybe those dreams got lost in transition from being 10 years old to being put into that “Adult” world and everything is just about growing up and dreams aren’t always as real as it seems.
The American Dream for example wasn’t about being filthy rich like some people thought of it to be. Its also not an overnight scheme where you come into this country and expect everything to be handed to you like some people think.
It takes hard work and motivation to achieve the American Dream. Its about having a family and buying a house and car, and living a middle class life. That’s the true American Dream in my opinion. Like I said though, It doesn’t just happen It takes hard work.
So once again I’m gonna ask the question now that you have had time to think about it. Whats your passion? Whats your dream? Where do you want to be in 5-10 years? Now some will say retiring early, some will say they want to travel the world and see everything they can possibly see( That’s my biggest dream). And your passion? Because their is a difference.
My passion is I love sports,I could talk about it all day. Those are the only books I like to read. I also love helping people. Growing up people gave me the nickname Dr.Phil because anytime someone had issues they always came up to me for advice,(didn’t matter how personal it was)because people trusted me and I loved to help them.
To this day I still love helping people. I have had people stay at my house for a month on a few different occasions to give them a chance to get back on their feet. Some people might find it annoying, but its something I always loved doing and haven’t stopped.
In today’s world I feel a lot of people have struggled with following their passion, or pursuing their dreams. People’s hopes have slowly diminished, and I cant say I haven’t had my own days where i felt that way.
But just like the picture on the top, of the flag, I want You to have a chance at following your passions and dreams. I want you to be able to pursue them to the fullest. That’s exactly what I’m doing right now. I’m pursuing my dreams and passions and helping you is part of my process.
Wouldn’t it be nice to get paid while you’re talking about the things you love? Well that’s exactly what I’m doing right now as I am typing to you. If you love talking about cars you can write blogs all day about cars and get paid.
- Since you love cars you are probably already a huge chatterbox when cars get mentioned.
- Now you get paid while getting to do it.
That’s what I like to call a win-win situation. Wouldn’t’ you agree? When I talk about about pursuing your dreams and passions, its because I’m doing it right now and you can too.
Simply joining this Free program, I am able to talk about things that I already love talking about anyways. Plus, This will give you that income to allow you to pursue what you truly want in life. No credit card is required so the only thing your spending is your time.
Just like how I talked about The American Dream, and how it does take hard work to achieve, this is no different. Its not a get rich overnight scheme. You do have to put effort into what your doing, but is it not worth it if you truly want to pursue your passion?

Great article! It’s really important for our generation to look for different alternatives to make money other than trading time for dollars. Specially when most jobs are being outsourced and the industry has gone east to places like China and India! Job security isn’t as secure anymore.
Keep up the good work.
Thanks Leonardo,
Glad you enjoyed reading it. It defiantly makes it tougher when big corporates move out of a country just to make a bigger buck. “Support your community,” is the way I look at it. Forget about “job security” because today’s generation is having trouble even finding a job after graduation. You don’t get a chance at job security because you cant even get a job anymore. Since you enjoyed reading this article, you should check out my review on one product that I use. It could change your life and give you that job security you would want to have. But remember always “try it before you buy it.”
I’ll answer your question first – yes is would be great to get paid for talking about things I love!!!
I’ve been toying with the thought of getting into internet marketing but I’m a complete newbie on the subject. I’ve done a lot of reading on niche selection etc but I still consider myself a little ‘green under the collar’.
The training you mention at the end of this post – is it the training you used and is it worthwhile to a newbie?
Chris
thanks for the comments Chris, much obliged. It most defiantly is always great to do things you love and get paid. If you think about it a lot of athletes get emotional when they retire because they are so passionate about what they do it’s sad for them when they have to stop. they don’t play until they’re 40 to get rich. they already had good money after their first few professional years of playing the sport to retire. they keep going because that profession they’re in is where their heart is. And to answer your question about the training.. any kind of training I put on my website and talk highly about it I use myself and highly recommend it to others. It’s great that you are starting to test the waters with internet marketing and as long you are persistent, patient, work hard, and keep pushing yourself to succeed you will no matter how new you are, and what kind of background you come from.
best of luck,
Brandon
Hi There,
I’ve really enjoyed reading this relate-able post, because knowing what you really, specifically want for the future is one of the most important components of success. Having a clear picture of where I want to be in the next 2, 5 and 10 years has made a world of difference for my motivation levels, right down to planning the day and week ahead.
Great post.
Clare
Thank you for the feedback, and yes i agree everyone should plan at least a little bit. Success wont come to you by just waiting and doing nothing about it. Picturing what you want your life to be and painting the outlines of how you’ll make that picture is the best way to succeed. short term, mid-term, and long term goals is the best way to reach the top so you have small successes along the way to the finish line. The small successes will be what motivates you to keep persevering towards what you believe in.
Hi Brandon, I like your article “Follow your Passion”. You have mentioned rightly that how you feel when someone like particular thing and monetize using different methods. I have a question and i often confused that do we select niche that are profitable or in which we have interest. Thanks.
thanks for the comment i appreciate it. to answer your questions..there are millions of different niches you can choose from so honestly just like my article that i wrote, true success is doing something you love. If you hate sports would you really want to talk about it for a living? I doubt it even if it is a profitable niche. Because the fact that there are over 3 billion people searching the web, i would virtually say any niche you choose from is profitable as long as you put the effort into it.
My dream is to be able to be self-employed and make enough money through my self-employment activities to be able to support myself without having to work another job. I spent 8 years working a job and left it to attend college when I became tired of it and realized it wasn’t something that I could do any longer and still maintain my sanity.
I do have to disagree with you. I think if I were a billionaire I would find things to do for the rest of my life without ever being bored. 😉
It’s tough to stick with jobs these days. the good ones are usually hard to get in and rest just don’t pay enough. Because that fact a lot people will switch jobs, but the biggest reason people leaves there jobs isn’t because of the money, it’s because they aren’t happy there. Money can’t buy happiness its only material goods in my opinion. In the beginning you’ll buy everything and in the end you’ll have nothing left to buy. If I had a billion dollars I would the travel world and probably buy a lot of expensive stuff, but I would have more money than I would ever need. Plus its not the money that makes me happy its the traveling I’ll be doing that makes me happy and excited
