The Unexpected Benefits of Pursuing a Passion Outside of Work
Pursuing a career that surrounds a passion is seen as the ultimate success story here in America. Many will attempt, however, only a privileged few will succeed. In this article, Julian, Joyce, and Jon compare pursuing passions as a career to something that can be achieved outside of the workplace. Resulting in a message for all who work to find the bridge between passion and a career.
While it is ideal to carry out what you love in a career path, it can also be very harmful in the long run. Ideas will be looked down upon and passions can change, which is why it is not only unrealistic but risky to partake in. Studies also show that pursuing a passion as a career is self-deprecating, making a passion a job and no longer a joy. However, there is a solution to the problem. If we were to just fulfill our passion through extracurriculars or volunteering, we will lead better lives and “bring our best selves to work”.
