Passion Vs On How To Love The Work You Do!!!

[Maheshwar]

I was told that, you can teach yourself to love the work the you do and also about passion and following your heart(If you haven't found yet, find one.Don't settle!! ) . Finally in both the cases the final result is loving the work you do. So, what is the difference between the two of them and which one is better??

Mozart first started to learn to play the piano when he was 3, Tiger Woods first held a golf club when he was 18 months old - yes, that's right. Those guys, like many other young prodigies, simply started to do their things because their parents made them. And over time, deep domain knowledge combined with great skill created passion. This is what it means to teach yourself to love what you do. Unless there's a massive breach of integrity in the passion that you want to follow, you can take anything, learn it, and end up loving it. However, accept that you will have moments where painful work will happen, at first, then when you're installed in it, you're happy.

When we're young, our mind is still fresh, it's not set in its ways, never changing anything, or any of that. Also, we live in a very connected, globalised, rich, and free society. It's extremely easy to pick up any basic subject, committing ourselves to learning about it, and end up creating a passion out of it. It makes sense to save ourselves up a few years by following our already present passions. This is why most people tell you to follow your passion. People who don't have a passion simply weren't exposed to enough things, or didn't commit themselves to learn more about what they've seen, they're highly culturally-not socially- isolated.

Think back to your past, realise that you've always been wanting to follow something, build skills and learn about it, create great things with it, accept that resistance will be a part of the journey, and you'll love the work that you do.

Rather than asking what type of work you should be looking for, you should be asking yourself: how do you choose to suffer?

Read this article to learn more: The Most Important Question of Your Life

It doesn't matter how much you love the work you do. Fact of the matter is there is some aspect of it that is going to be unpleasant. There is always going to be something that you don't like about the work you do or in any other aspect in life.

What are you willing to struggle for? What can you tolerate, and what will you absolutely not tolerate at all?

[Maheshwar]

The summary of that article is that our struggles determine the success in our lives when we enjoy and love the pain or struggle.

So, In my question I'have mentioned that we can teach ourselves to love the work that we do and also about the passion. In both the cases you are going to enjoy or love the work(struggle or pain)[[ And the article tells that the struggle becomes fruitful if you love and enjoy the struggle]]. So in the both the cases you might be successful.

My question is which one among the two of them is better and what is difference between the two of them?
