Is your profession your passion?

I often ask people is your profession your passion and if not can you make your profession your passion. Remember the fire you had when you completed college. “Let me get that first job”. Remember the enthusiasm you had in entering the corporate world and proving yourself?

Where is that fire now? Is it the same, or has it caved-in?

When you ask a child, what would you like to become when you grow older… you get multiple answers from each child… but they all point to a certain inspiration and the eagerness to grow up and be an adult.

Little does an innocent child know what lies ahead of him/her in the corporate world. As my son, Hamza very rightly said a few years ago, “Dont grow up, its a trap” 🙂

The dreams they have are shattered within the first few years and they adjust to circumstances and other procedural (compliance) requirements of…

Control Your Own Destiny

“You cannot control what happens to you, but you can control your attitude toward what happens to you, and in that, you will be mastering change rather than allowing it to master you.”

Human nature is created so that you can choose your destiny, and then control it. The key is to be one of the few who know where you are going and exactly how to get there. To do this, you must realize that life is changeable. With each change along the way you develop experience. You enrich your…
