FIND A SMALL ACTION THAT YOU CAN ENJOY

If you want your passion to survive, you must enjoy something from that passion. Remember... just because it is your passion doesn't mean you love everything about it. Do passionate boxers love being punched in the face? Sometimes your passion will die but you will only be able to revive it if you know what you love the most about it.

Find something you love in what you love. I am a passionate guitarist, I love playing guitar, when I was young I was playing guitar everyday. But sometimes my passion is dying, sometimes I am too lazy playing the guitar, it's because I don't know what I love the most about playing the guitar. But lately, I found out what I love the most about it... it's scratching the strings, it's playing funky. Before... if I don't know how to play a new song... I will get lazy but now even though I am not playing any particular song... I still love playing it because I love scratching the strings, it makes me wanted to do it over and over again. This kind of approach makes me play guitar everyday.

Just like a painter who simply loves stroking the brush, he is not enjoying the whole painting process, there is a part in painting that he loves the most that's why he keep on doing it.

Look a Dennis Rodman, the hall of famer in the NBA... he doesn't want to score, he just want to rebound and that makes him very successful, he is one of the greatest rebounders in the NBA, that made him popular even though he is not a big time scorer.

It's all about finding the true love in what you love. What is your passion? what do you love the most about it? focus on it and your passion will never die. It sounds weird but as a writer, I love the sound of my keyboard, I love pressing it fast that's why I am writing everyday.
