“Follow your passion” sounds inspiring… but is it actually good advice?
Some people say passion is the fuel that makes hard work feel easier—and that it leads to success if you stay consistent. Others say it’s a trap that keeps people dreaming, switching directions, and avoiding the boring-but-profitable skills that actually build a stable life.
So what do you think?
Is “follow your passion” a smart life strategy… or one of the biggest traps?
And if you’ve tried it: did it help you—or hurt you? 👇
Follow your passion is not an absolute advice hence could be a trap if taken literally.
You have a passion of something after working over time, be it a skill or a job. Your passion for the skill will manifest as you continue to improve. This can only be meaningful over a period of time (DURATION)
when you become better at what you do. Even at a glance one can tell that ‘You’re passionate on the job / skill.
However, Passion can be a Trap when someone is being limited or stuck while trying to achieve or acquire a skill/ job which requires patience, perseverance, money to enable him/her.
In all, I can say that’ FOLLOW YOUR PASSION IS GOOD ADVICE’ as a RESULT of good work done.
While it becomes ‘ A TRAP’ as the MATERIALS of achieving the RESULT ISN’T AVAILABLE.
