Finding your passion isn’t just about careers and money. It’s about finding your authentic self. The one you’ve buried beneath other people’s needs.

Garou's inner conflict rages as the passion heats up between you...♥️ This is an excerpt from my 🔞smutty🔞 GarouxReader 'In the Dark', which you can read in full on AO3 here :)

Finally, making up your mind, you let go of him and push him to sit down on the edge of your bed, climbing onto him.

He thinks he knows what you want and hopes it’s what he thinks it is.

You don’t rush, just enjoy being close to him, his hands on your waist, leaning over him, kissing your bruised lover, your tongue tenderly on his.

As he watches you on him, holding your body, he can’t describe all the things you’re making him feel. Hard. Yes. But there’s too much more than that. This desire is somehow stronger than any violent urge he’s ever had. This desire to be with you, to protect you, to feel your body against his, to give you pleasure, to give you everything…This is all new, he’s never felt so much towards another person.

The more you kiss him, touch him softly the closer he gets to daring to believe that you want him.

It’s like you can read his mind...

He feels your lips press deeper into his, your kiss grows more passionate, all this energy, his hands envelop your breasts, can’t help fondling them, rubbing your nipples, you rake your fingers through his still-damp silvery hair, your hips start to move against him little by little. There’s no turning back now. You stop your kiss, gently holding his face, your lips almost touching. His hands go to your hips and slowly he lowers you onto himself.

This sensation...this sensation of him filling you, pressing against you…

This sensation...this sensation of being inside you, your warm, welcoming wetness…

More sensuous, more erotic, more close… It’s more than either of you ever imagined.

You start to move your hips, rocking softly against him, your cheek against his.

You have nothing.

No, not now. He tries to push the words out of his mind.

How do you know if you have made the right choice in an ever-changing career marketplace? Is there such a thing as Job Security? Does one necessarily have to suppress passion in a trade-off for job security? These are a few existential questions that keep working professionals awake at night.

The Wall Street Journal injects creativity and passion into this discussion:

“Job security is extremely hard to come by these days, no matter what profession you choose. It isn’t enough to pursue a field with perceived stability, experts say. Find something you feel passionate about, can make a living doing, and that involves skills you can easily apply to other fields.”

Professor Steve Rose (Addiction Counsellor) defines following passion as “exploring areas that spark your interest, developing your skills in a specific area, and using those skills to contribute to something beyond yourself.” In his book Drive, Daniel H. Pink argues that career satisfaction comes from a sense of mastery, autonomy, and purpose. So contrary to popular belief, career and passion can go hand in hand.

Passion does not work in binary, which means it is not confined to the black and white description of ‘passionate’ and ‘not passionate.’ Passion can constantly be developed, cultivated, and followed ruthlessly. In fact, confining passion into this black and white binary makes people wary of exploring newer ideas and tapping into their potential. People also tend to give up on their endeavors more quickly when things start getting complicated.

When speaking of ‘Passion’ and ‘Job,’ both are often divorced from each other. Often passion is considered to be something that is inside of us waiting to be uncovered and unleashed. The common consensus seems to be that this ‘uncovering’ could be triggered by stimulus from outside. When in fact, feeling passionate about something is directly related to doing great work and putting in that effort.

We are here at your service with some actionable tips to follow your passion. Read till the end to know the Limits of Passion.

#1 Preparation

The first step is to identify your passion. It is easier said than done as there is no strict rule/formula that will help you conclude. The only way out in this case is through trying!

You can begin by simple self-assessment exercises and asking yourself questions like what would you do if given complete freedom? What would your career choices be if money and time were no bar?

Notice the interest that you find yourself coming back to again and again. Start narrowing down your interests even vaguely, which could be a field of study, an activity that you like doing, or even a project that you want to work on. If you cannot find answers yourself, ask for help from a career counselor....

You Can’t Hate Your Way Into a Life You Love

You can’t hate your way into a life you love. Focus on what lights you up, align your passion with purpose, and build the life you deserve. ✨ #PositiveMindset #PassionAndPurpose #LifeYouLove #PersonalGrowth #HaveACupOfJohanny

The other day, I was listening to a Blinkist summary of a self-development book, and there was one line that hit me right in the gut: “You can’t hate your way into a life that you love.” That line stuck with me because, wow—it’s so true. How often do we find ourselves grinding away at something we don’t love, telling ourselves that it’s necessary, that it’s what we “should” be doing? But at the…
