Ignore the Real World

You see it everyday, a creative person gets a great idea and before you know it they are never talking about it again.  Today I am here to tell everyone how to ignore the real world and concentrate your focus on your passion, whatever it may be.  You can turn your passion into a job and make yourself money off of it but you must do a few things first. 

        First,  a person MUST find their passion, the one thing they were made to do, and that they are happy most when doing it. ( Warning: Do not identify a addiction as a passion, that gets ugly).  Dig and dig to unearth your youngest childhood dreams that have been buried under a landslide of mundane jobs and menial tasks.  Think back when you were a child, and how there were no barriers that could hold you back.  You must learn to think this way again and find your passion.  Once you do that, you can plot a direction.  Think about a compass, you may be going in circles until you plot a course, pick a direction, and stick with it.  You make no progress until you do so.

       Second, once this passion is found we must organize around it.  This is the crucial part, learn everything you can about it.  Get inspiration from speaking to others who have done this particular thing or something similar.  Take notes, gather information.  Then is the hard part, turning this passion into its monetary equivalent.  Alot of people get stuck here because of lack of start up capital or seed funding.  This is where on must reach out to others or dig into his savings and set up shop on a shoe string budget, if possible.  It is so easy to give up at this stage.

     Third, succeed on purpose.  Don't let obstacles, situations or doubters slow you down or make you second guess yourself.  This is where we ignore the real world.  So many people are trapped in their daily ruts of coffee, news, crappy bosses, ungrateful spouses, unruly children and so on, that when they hear someone talking about their awesome dream and being excited about it, they get jealous.  So naturally they want to tear you  and your fragile idea down, to see you hurt, maybe, but just so they can feel better about themselves.  For this situation I have one word of advice:
           
       Your passion is yours, do not let the words of an unsuccessful person take that from you.

Go and make this world a better place, ignore reality and do what you where born to do.
