Turn Your Passion Into Your Career
By: Natalie Kate Ann Juntado
Spending time working on the things you are truly passionate about is what makes a person happy. Each individual living in this vast world has a talent or skill. Some need just a little bit of encouragement for that skill to be further molded.
If you are still in the process of figuring out what hobby or skill you the like the most, think of something you are totally passionate about and stick to it. How do you feel after doing it every day? Do you feel productive? Is there something that your heart pushes you to do? What is your ambition that pushes you towards your goal?
Hobbies are not just extracurricular activities; actually, hobbies are doorways to our success. As they say, don’t work for the money, let the money work for you. How do you find yourself after doing something that really makes you happy everyday?
You may feel you have too much on your plate, so it is necessary to prioritize.
For instance, let’s say you’re an avid blogger of fashion, entertainment or art and travel, or all of these things. Constantly, you keep on updating your blog by creating good content and checking your social media. Out of these, you can market yourself online and thrive on new and unique ideas to gain followers.
If you love photography, you can sell your photos online via shutterstock and flickr. Create a blog where you can stack all your photos and this will create an online portfolio. Clients nowadays are wiser; they would likely ask if you have an available portfolio online. So take good pictures and invest in your passion.
So why not turn your interests into a business and take a step forward by starting working on yourself? By working on a project that you are utterly devoted to, you’ll do a much better job and feel more satisfied with your efforts, as well.
There are plenty of individuals out there who don’t give themselves enough time, nor give themselves enough credit for their abilities. Our hobbies mold us into the people we become. Pursue what you love and go ahead with whatever it is you love doing.
