Are you living the career and life you were born for?
Hello! How would your life be if the passion is missing from it? Look at the life of all achievers and observe how they thrive on it and drive their lives through the rigmarole of their daily endevaours. Does other people’s passion rub on you? Does your passion influence them? If such things don’t happen, you are perhaps in the wrong company. An entrepreneur friend once told me, if everything is going routine for me and it becomes unbearable, I create a challenge or an emergency to ignite my life once again. Interesting passion… How are you doing? Cheers Rajiv Khurana action@retyrement.com

The dynamo is inside you. No one can plant it. It needs to be discovered, understood and ignited. Decide what you want. Succumb to parental or societal compulsions or choosing something that you truly aspire to work and live on your own terms.
If you desire to do something above the ordinary, you will have to think and act above the ordinary. Take your position, aim and start shooting or else you will miss the hits. No champion ever becomes a champion without tasting failures, setbacks and rejections.

Stay focussed on what you desire

Stay positive in spite of hiccups
I
Invigorate your enthusiasm
Whatever you definitely, badly or at any cost desire to achieve cannot be accomplished with dwindling thoughts. People who make things happen stick to their pursuits like a postage stamp that serves the purpose until it reaches the destination.
What will you do when you fall on the road while walking? Simple. Get up. Dust off and walk forward. You won’t stay there to blame others or your luck. Hiccups are bound to be there. A smooth sail does not make a great sailor.
Confucius said: “Choose a job you love and you will never have to work a day in your life.” Keep the momentum high on daily basis. Energy and excitement matters. Smaller achievements need to be celebrated too. Find reasons to do so. Else create some.

Overcome excuses

Nurture good relations around
Even the best of the passionate people at times may not find going so good. Explanations for path not taken or choices not made start appearing. These are excuses. Watch-out! Frequent occurrences may deviate you. Remember, excuses have no uses.
People around you matter. They may rub on you positively or negatively. Who do you keep as company? Look for people with diverse interests and backgrounds. Learn from their passions and zeal. Pace up with their momentum. Help them when needed.

Power of Passion
An initiative by retyrement.com A young man approached the Greek philosopher Socrates and casually stated, "O great Socrates, I come to you for knowledge". The philosopher took the young man down to the sea, waded in with him, and then dunked him under the water for thirty seconds. When he let the young man up for air, Socrates asked him to repeat what he wanted. Knowledge, only O great one," he sputtered. Socrates put him under the water again, only that this time it was a little longer. After repeated dunking and responses, the philosopher asked, "what do you want"? The young man finally gasped, "Air; I want air!" "Good," answered Socrates. "Now, when you want knowledge as much as you wanted air, you shall have it." The are no two ways about it. If you want anything badly enough, you can find the willpower to achieve it. The only way to have that kind of desire and willpower is to develop passion.

The Surprising Passions of 11 Brilliant People
An initiative by retyrement.com

retyremag You already knew everyone on this list was brilliant and accomplished in his or her chosen field. What you might not have known is that they were also truly devoted to their less publicized passions. 1) Teddy Roosevelt was a man with a lot of hobbies, including obvious ones like hunting, trust busting, and carrying metaphorical sticks. But he was also a passionate boxer and had a brown belt in judo. He once turned heads at a state luncheon by playfully chucking a Swiss diplomat with a judo toss. 2) Napoleon had no rival when it came to battlefield brilliance, so it’s a little surprising that he wasn’t great at his favorite hobby: chess. Although the general supposedly carried a board with him on his military campaigns, he never had much time to practice and was generally regarded as a middling player.

Despite being famously shy, Dickinson was sure enough of her bread to enter it in a local competition, in which she won second prize. Of course, since she was Emily Dickinson, poetry was always at play, even in the kitchen – many of her drafts are written on the backs of recipes or ingredient wrappers. 4) Amelia Earhart was passionate about a hobby that’s not usually associated with daredevils: stamp collecting. Earhart frequently carried pieces of mail on her landmark flights. As these pieces became highly collectible, Earhart got in on the fun, acquiring examples of mail she’d flown and showing them at stampcollecting conventions. 5) Mozart fell ill with smallpox when he was 11 years old, an illness that required several weeks of rest for recovery. The young composer used the down time of his convalescence to pick up a new hobby: card tricks. A local chaplain visited the sick boy and taught him a slew of card tricks that the composer later used to delight his friends.

6) Thomas Edison had a surprisingly impractical passion: concrete. The great inventor so adored concrete that he created a system of molds that would enable builders to simply pour a whole, complete house from concrete. He even had patents for concrete furniture to fill his concrete houses! As you might have noticed, the idea never took off. 7) Thomas Jefferson is so celebrated as a statesman, writer, architect, librarian, and oenophile that it’s easy to miss the fact that he was a celebrated violinist. Jefferson took lessons for most of his life, starting as a young boy, and although accounts of his skill level differ, Jefferson was able to use his musical abilities to woo his wife. 8) Marie Curie stayed pretty busy in the lab – being one of history’s greatest chemists and physicists takes some time – but she also spent a lot of time on her bike. Throughout her life, Curie’s favorite way to unwind was hopping on her bike for long trips that let her explore the outdoors. www.mentalfloss.com

9) Abraham Lincoln would have been a surprisingly huge fan of Internet memes. Mary Todd Lincoln was once asked if her husband had any hobbies. Her simple reply: “Cats.” 10) Edith Wharton is remembered for award-winning novels like The Age of Innocence, but her first published book was actually a guide to interior decorating. Throughout her life, the author was a passionate and accomplished interior decorator and garden designer. Wharton even designed her own country home and gardens, “The Mount,” in Lenox, Mass. 11) John Quincy Adams was among our quirkier presidents – he enjoyed skinny dipping in the Potomac and kept a pet alligator in the White House. But he was also an avid collector of ancient coins.

Speaking
A majority of us would agree that we have not taken much care about our physical and mental well-being. Whenever you think about it, it’s a good beginning. Join this community to participate in and understand all the streams of medical sciences and healthcare practices for rejuvenating God’s gift to us. Our body and mind. Yoga adds big time to our life.
Web 2.0 has assured that each one of us could be a great Blogger or Vlogger. Social media has added diverse opportunities. We need a platform to share our creations and showcase our skills. The community brings together people for whom a ‘good expression’ matters. Time to unleash the Shakespeare or Premchand in you. Digital expressions you can hone gradually.
Enterprise India Business, Job, Consulting, contracting or social entrepreneurship, there are opportunities every where. How do we spot them? How do we start a new business or take up a franchise? How do we handle our start-up? When buddy career makers and career builders come together, the colearning can be highly fruitful. ‘Make in India’ needs it. So do SMEs in India. And you?

Impact
Financial resources, properties, entitlements, investments, insurance and managing them effectively are critical. We need help from experts in different domains, be it legal, financial or technical. This community brings together professionals to guide and support. How would you like to monetise your own wisdom when you serve? Time to crosscheck and adopt too.
Be it a school, polytechnic, college or an institute of higher education, India has a short supply of talented people. Skilling India needs a large number of professionals with right temperament and skills to groom youngsters for future. With our good life and work learning, we can hone our skills to take up the mantle of teaching/training for India’s future building.
Many of us nurture the dream of doing something someday for the society. Why wait? The time to do is now. Join the like minded people and discover areas, avenues or institutions that may benefit from your expertise. Who knows, some people in this community may create a small help group or big social enterprise to address the societal needs in India.
Travel, Adventure, Rejuvenation‌ We are never too old to discover new culture, places, lifestyles and bounties of nature. A like-minded group may enhance the spirit of discovery and learning. This community may aim to share the experiences and forge bonding with members to move together, dine together and enjoy together for the rejuvenation of mind, body and soul.
