Learn what all self and human development trainers don't say about passion and ambition!

What Is Passion

Human beings have a variety of feelings that we witness in different positions, and one of these feelings is passion!, yes it is a feeling not a plan, not a goal or anything else. Passion is a something that you feel when love and Repetition come together, for example when you go to the gym every day and you love all the hardworking, sweating and the atmosphere there, so this means that you are passionate about gym. When you fix somethings repetitively in your house and you enjoy it, then it is the same, also when you go to the kitchen and start cooking then you are passionate about cooking, so there are a lot of passion examples in life.
You have to understand that passion is a limited feeling, that's why your interests or hobbies could end and disappear suddenly with no reason, and after a period it may come back to you.


Is it OK that I don't have a passion!
It seems to you that you don't have a passion but fortunately this is not true, because everyone has a passion.

 As Barbara Corcoran said "You can't fake passion."
You can be passionate about simple and small stuff, like brushing your teeth or even going to the grocery store.
So don't relay on passion to judge yourself that you are living a tremendous life or not, because passion is not a measurement device of your happiness in life, it is a feeling as we mentioned before, something normal and usual, therefore don't be afraid or get nervous if someone asks you what is your passion?because your answer will be from where do you want me to start.

What Is Ambition

Have you ever wanted something so bad? Even when you are a kid, for instance your first bicycle, or your first painting tools. Do you remember the feeling that you got from reaching these things, or looking forward to get the ultimate success.
I bet you that it was remarkable and outstanding feeling.

You see, ambition is a something that you love to do not because you need to, but because you admire the idea of it. So ambition is like a status, mindset, goal or even a level And with no single doubt the passion will be inside this mindset (ambition), because as we said before passion is a feeling and it might be located in different situations and mindsets.

Imagine with me all your goals you are planning to do in the present or the future, and beside it imagine that there are some supreme and significant goals you want to achieve, therefor these major goals represent your ambition. So you must understand that ambition is your ultimate desire nothing less than that. 


Is it OK that I don't have an ambition!
The purpose of having an ambition is having something to look forward to, like a big dream or a desire. However, if you asked me now this question, I will surely tell you that it is okay if you don't have an ambition, but I will also say It's a matter of time to have an ambition.

Now beside this information we have to clarify that ambition doesn't have a size or a level, from person to another it's an ambition, for instance having a car is your friend's ambition but for you it's a small goal, or you already have his ambition.
