What’s Stopping You From Pursuing the Passion?
May 23, 2007 | by brett | Permalink
In the last few days I have started to wonder what prevents people from following their passion. I have been fortunate enough to be exposed to many individuals that have taken the leap of faith, but what is stopping aspiring individuals from starting their pursuit?
I decided to take my research one step further by posting the question in a few forums. The answers I received inspired me to start a series of posts related to each of the commonly discussed responses. Starting tomorrow, I will write about the following topics that stand in the way of people that are hesitant of starting the journey.
1) The Money Rut
2) The Motivation Factor of Discovering a Passion
3) Every time I try to go something keeps on pulling me back
4) Fear. Uncertainty. Confidence.
5) Networking
6) Knowledge
7) Time and Focus
Keeping it Real
Sounds a bit like the back of a record from the 60’s, but trust me, it will be good.

When I read this headline, the first thing I thought of was the confusion that people feel about figuring out what their passion is. I know I went through it, and I talk all the time with people who struggle with it, and have been struggling, sometimes for years.
But then I saw this, on “Fires Start With Flickers”:
“… when people decide to stop waiting for the wave that may or may not come, and start to take action on the small sparks that holds the potential to be transformed into fiery flames…”
That’s it, right there. Out of fear of messing up, lots of people just don’t try fanning anything.
Fan! Fail! Fan again! It’s the only way to find out.
