How many of us know and recognise what we are passionate about? Fulfilment starts with discovering what excites us and nurturing it with perseverance then guides the path to achieve success. When your job doesn?t feel like a job but a fun and satisfying journey, when you wake up full of enthusiasm to start a brand new day, when it feels like you are living out your dream ? you know that you are on the right track. When the journey feels satisfying and reaching the destination gives you just as much joy, you?ve pursued your passion!

How does one find their passion?

Make an honest list of whatever interests you. Write it down, it helps. Keep at it persistently, evaluate all possibilities and take the first step! People have given up their lucrative jobs that provided for comforts like a big house, an expensive car, unique watches, the perfect family, holidays at the best destinations; to follow their dreams. Then why is it they left their source of income to pursue their passion? Making the decision and taking the leap of faith is never an easy one! Every success story started with a decision.

Mujeeb Rahman shares his inspirational story

 While most of the people are struggling to make ends meet or are deciding on whether they want to pursue their passion, Mujeeb Rahman is making the most of his profession and his passion. Who says you have to pick one when you can have them both, right? That seems like Mujeeb?s motto.

Mujeeb Rahman has been a sports teacher at Oriental Higher Secondary School in Edavanna, Malappuram district in Kerala. Besides this, he also coaches the school badminton team and the district?s football team. Mujeeb trains children who are passionate about sports, and he does it with all he has. And that?s not all; he also has a passion for harvesting bananas.

How does Mujeeb find the time and energy to do it all?

He coaches the children early in the morning and during school hours. Then Mujeeb goes back to his farm life. For Mujeeb, farming de-stresses him. He doesn?t earn through it, but he receives the intangible such as peace, happiness and fulfilment. These seem to be more valuable to him. While you can?t put a price on them, many people long for this their entire life.

?The graveyard is the richest place on earth, because it is here that you will find all the hopes and dreams that were never fulfilled, the books that were never written, the songs that were never sung, the inventions that were never shared, the cures that were never discovered, all because someone was too afraid to take that first step, keep with the problem, or determined to carry out their dream.?

-Les Brown

If you are second-guessing your dream or you have to choose between your dream and a seemingly practical option, here?s what you can keep in mind:

  1. Choose your dream because it fills you with a sense of purpose. Your dream can be to play an instrument or be a Chartered Accountant or even a fitness expert. It doesn?t matter what other people say or do. It should feel right to you.
  2. Choose your dream, as you?ll be a happier person. You fuel your dream. Every day when you wake up, you will be working towards fulfilling your aspirations. You can get creative with it; you can mould it the way you want to. There are no limits to what you can achieve. Answer this, would you like to drive your vehicle or be hired as a driver? There is no right and wrong answer, just the one that makes you happy.
  3. Choose your dream because you will build character. It takes a lot of strength to go after what you want. This journey is not for the faint-hearted. Do you remember that dog house you built or that drawing you completed or that cake you baked? Didn?t it just feel amazing to push through until you were happy with your creation? You may not have built the dog house to perfection, but you kept perfecting it over time. You probably drew funny faces initially, but with practice, you managed to create a masterpiece that hangs proudly on the refrigerator or how about that burnt cake which has graduated to a delicious soft sponge. It took time, patience, but you were persistent.
  4. Choose your dream because you?ll show others how it is done. The ones that doubt and second guess themselves will be inspired by you. You may not get to see the impact you have on other?s lives, but there are so many silently wishing they had the courage to live as you do. And one day when they decide to take the leap. You?ll be the inspiration that led them to it. When you pursue your dream, you add value to the world. You make the world a better place.
  5. Choose your dream for you. When you choose your dream, you choose you!
