“Working hard for something we do not care about is called stress, working hard for something we love is called passion.”
By Simon Sinek in his book Start with Why: How Great Leaders Inspire Everyone to Take Action
Ever tried untangling a mess of earphones?
That frustrating dance of cords where every loop seems to tighten rather than loosen? That's stress.
Now, picture yourself doing something you absolutely love, like baking cookies.
Flour dusting the air, chocolate chips winking at you from the bowl. You're in the zone, feeling like the star of your very own baking show.
That's passion. It's like discovering a secret ingredient that makes every bite a tiny slice of heaven.
In the world of work, it's the same story.
Imagine sifting through endless emails that seem to multiply like rabbits. Each ping feels like a tiny dagger to your sanity. That's stress.
It's like trying to juggle flaming torches while riding a unicycle on a tightrope.
But then, there's that job or project that makes you jump out of bed in the morning, like teaching kids how to play soccer.
You're out on the field, watching their faces light up as they score their first goal. It's chaotic, it's messy, but it's pure joy. That's passion.
It's like having a secret superpower that turns every challenge into a victory lap.
So, whether you're wrestling with knots or conquering mountains, remember: stress is the enemy of joy, but passion is the fuel that powers your journey.
