I’ve been in blogging for quite some time now. Lately, I’ve been thinking about why I keep on blogging. This blog is more than 2 years old, but still, I keep on blogging and bringing more inspirational posts to my readers. Most of the blogs out there cannot stand for more than 6 months.

One of the reasons for me to keep on blogging in this blog is my passion. Before I start this blog, I’d really think about what I like to talk about, and it ended up with I’m sharing motivational and success tips with here.

To be successful in life has been one of my passions and that’s the reason I keep on blogging about it even though sometimes I’ll feel it is a mundane and tedious job.

I believe that you understand that if you want to be successful in what your life, you must do something that is congruent with your passion. Just like Tiger Woods, Michael Jordan, Donald Trump, Bill Gates and more. They share common traits, they are very rich and successful, and one more extra is key is that they are doing what they love.

Think about it, Michael Jackson loves to dance. He’ll do it even if he’s not rich or it does not pay him any reward. What about Michael Jordan? Do you think that he trained so hard just because he wants to get famous? Of course not. He becomes the top player in basketball simply because he has intense passion for it. He trained himself from morning until night without giving up.

As you can see now, passion is the key to success that you can never miss. But why do you need passion to succeed in your life? Here are some of the reasons I found in my research…

1. It Is The Source Of Motivation

Yes, when you do something that you love, you’ll never feel tired about it. Even if you feel tired, you’ll never complain about it. Everyone has their own field of passion. Some people like to rear dogs, some people like to rear cats, some people love to invest their money in the stock market, some people like to play piano, and so on and so forth.

The question now is, “Do you know where your passion is?”

It is only by doing something you love, you will thrive in that field. Have you ever wondered why some successful people can stay up late until 3am just to get their stuff done? That’s simply because they love to do it! They feel energetic when doing it, that’s the source of motivation you need if you want to be the person you wish in the future.

So right now, choose a field that you’re passionate about. You must know what you love to do and do more of it only then you will succeed from it.

2. It Is A Positive Excuse

Besides as a source of motivation, your passion will also work as a constructive excuse for you. Let me give you a clear example of what I mean here. Do you think that make money online is something possible? For some people, they’re skeptical, they don’t believe that it is possible to make money from the internet.

So if you have a strong passion in internet marketing, you can tell your friends or those people who don’t believe in it, “I’m just doing for my passion, I like to do it and I’ll do it even I don’t earn anything from it.”

What will that person answer you if you told that person this way? I’m sure they’ll agree with you because you’re doing something you love, it’s your hobby, they cannot disagree with what you’re doing and they’ll not stop you.

When you say that it is your hobby or your interest, you’re actually acting on it. Sooner or later, you’ll find yourself really love what you do. This is because you’re faking it until you make it real. This is what successful people always do to themselves. They picture image of them living their dreams, driving their luxury cars, achieving their goals, etc. They are faking the results so that they can be successful in the end.

3. You’ll Never Give Up

Yes, when you do something you love, most likely you’ll never give up. Look at this blog, it’s been more than 2 years, but I’m still updating it. Why? Simply because I’ve intense passion for writing inspirational articles for my readers. I like to receive emails or comments from my readers telling me how much they like my blog and sometimes they even share their dreams with me.

This is the source of great motivation for me. I don’t know about you, but I believe that when you’re doing something that you truly have intense passion, you’ll never give up. Instead, you’ll do it no matter what. Just like playing badminton. It’s been one of my hobby in sports. When my friends invite me for it, I’ll definitely give them positive answer unless I’m really cannot make it.

Even if I reject them, I’ll feel like a big loss because my heart telling me to join them for the game. I wonder if you’ll have this kind of feeling towards something you love to do.

And so these are the 3 reasons you need passion to succeed in your life. Maybe you have more reasons, you can simply leave your comments about this post.

So do something you love and live with passion!
