I believe that if a person has the ability to apply passion to the things they do, those things will be done with more effort and all the other factors required to do that thing well will simply fall into place.
When I'm asked to speak at the real estate institute on occasions, to new classes, in the question-time I'm always asked, what one attribute did I bring to the job that was critical to helping me gain success...I always ask for their opinion and get replies like honesty, integrity, hard work, time-management etc...I always nod and say yes, that is true...But the one single thing is *Passion. Have passion to perform at one's best and the other things will simply happen as a matter of course.
It is passion that pushes your charity work methinks.

What is life without passion my friend?
Here I think about all of those that are dumbed down in jobs that they don't like, but have to do to survive. Ever so slowly their passions are eroded, as they have to concentrate continuously on their job demands.
On the other hand, if they love their work, they are sure to rise in the ranks.
A sure indicator of passions can be seen in their hobbies. I have heard many saying that they so wish that they could do their hobbies full time.
Upon my question of why not?, they answer that they need the job that they hate.
Makes one think doesn't it?
Blessings and thank you for the token!
I agree that a person's daily grind, the job they hate but have to do can erode ones enjoyment of life. I think it's been that way for a long time. The only truly free were Neanderthals, the hunter-gatherers. Once we stopped moving with the seasons and with food sources, when we started to plant crops around 10,000 years ago, we became slaves to work in the main; The daily grind. The work may be different but the grind isn't.
I work, I'm no different. I don't have the ability not to work at this stage, but get closer and closer. This is why, for me, applying passion to the things I do is most important. It helps me to enjoy what I have, my life, a little better, more deeply.
I don't reserve passion for hobbies alone, it permeates through all aspects of my life, my attitude and thoughts; I'm a passionate person plain and simple. Life is my hobby, my life and that with Faith and my family too. I'm passionate about it so I guess I'm less likely to say things like I hate my job and more likely to say, I love my life. 😉
Just me, everyone does their own thing though I guess.
We are exactly the same as far as the passion issue is concerned my friend.
Our internet signal bombed out again this morning and I knew that it would take hours to fix it, so we went down to the beach.
Incidentally I was thinking about the passion and hobby thing when this van stopped in front of us at the traffic lights.
Look at what was pasted on its tailgate!
Truer words were never spoke. Nice catch on the right day.
Thank you Sir Tom!
Looks like the tailgate of a Hilux. Clearly a person who understands his purpose in life. 😁
Oh yeah, Hilux remains the top seller here and most of the farmers drive them.
The farmers and their sons and their uncles and their nephews and their friends :)
His passsion is fishing, so it tells you what he thinks about his job.
The Hilux was the best seller, but the Ford Ranger overtook it a while back. They go back and forth over the top position...I've had both and enjoyed both...My preference? Either I'd say, both have their merits...Although I loved my Ranger, not physically loved it, but emotionally. 😂
I am more of an old Land Rover fan so my youngest daughter ,who happens to be very very well off, tried to impress me by bying this new Land Rover sport thing with the sloping roof.
I can tell you that I was not impressed at all.
Give me one of the old army Land Rovers any day and I will be as happy as a clam.
Rangers are great and I am sure that your Ranger appreciated your love 🤣
