Obsessed or Passionate

Well according to the  Dictionary this is the definition of obsessed : preoccupy or fill the mind of (someone) continually, intrusively, and to a troubling extent.

Passionate: showing or caused by strong feelings or a strong belief.

Some people believe that in order to be successful you must be obsessed with what you do or how you do it. I have an issue with the word obsessed and I would hate to think that people are actually working within this energy flow of obsession.

Passion, is the fuel to success. We have heard it time and time again, it’s nothing new. We also seem to hear if you do what you LOVE it isn’t work. They are referring to passion not obsession.

Let’s make sure we use the right words when we want to express something because there is a huge difference between obsession and passion.

Passion, something you believe, something that you know is right something that you want to share !! Something that moves you from the inside out not the outside in.

Obsession, filling the mind to a troubling extent..sounds very negative and a poor use of  your energy flow. Obsession to me is the polar opposite of passion. However people may believe that they are obsessed because they are so passionate for what they do or what they believe .. I say – maybe- maybe not – Who wants to work or live to a “troubling -extent ” ? Definitely NOT ME.

Passion comes from the inside out, those tugs at your heart strings , those moments of OMG I am on point, or the awakening when you say – I have been wanting to do this my whole life but I just didn’t know how to go about doing it..that is passion !

I am passionate about helping people find their way home, whether they rent or buy or need to move I am passionate about filling the need, sharing my expertise and just talking about what I do love to do. I am passionate about how I work, I know my philosophy is right and I know what I do no one else does. They may think they do because physically they can say it or act it but are they passionate or obsessed with what they are doing ? Most of all WHY do they do what they do ?

What moves you ? Are you obsessed with work or passionate about the work you do?
