I think the worst advice you can give to young people is “follow your passion”. It may sound exciting but it is self destructing!. Passion is far different from feelings.
If you follow your passion, you may confuse it with your feelings. If the winds of life blow, your flame may die out. Sometimes you cannot tell your passion from your feeling but these are different entities. Before I continue let me define passion and feeling from English dictionary. Passion is any great, strong, powerful emotion and feeling is expressive of great sensibility; attended by, or evincing, sensibility.
You have to follow your purpose. Remember, your passion is the flame and your purpose is the lamp stand.
Rather, fit your passion into your purpose. Under no circumstance should you deviate from your purpose in life hence our feelings and passion should rather fit into our purpose. Our passion fuels and facilitate our propagation to our purpose. Your passion should follow your purpose.
Whenever you feel like doing it or not, the purpose will help you fuel the passion. Find your passion and teach the passion to follow your purpose.
Starts doing what you love doing, don’t regret what you have done or the seasons you have wasted doing nothing. Focus on what you love and channel it to your purpose. Our purpose is actually our destiny and so if you don't reach your purpose you have failed in life. Remember where you have fallen and get up. Doing your passion is a decision, not a sensation. Make a decision today to do what you love doing. Practice and become! Passion is proven by perseverance, you haven’t find your passion until you feel pass your feeling.

Remember, passion must fit into purpose.
Great read. I feel as though ones passions is the fuel that keeps you on the path of purpose. In america people are following their "purposes" but are unhappy because they have no passion for it. We all need that extra something to drive us and help us achieve the goals of our purpose and that is where passion comes in. By definition passion is a feeling created by the sensible need to accomplish things in life.
Great one. Thanks for adding up. I love this
It is very true sometimes we get carried away by emotions and things do not go as we expect, so we must be very careful with that, not to confuse passion with feelings that are two totally different things. Thanks friend for sharing it
You are welcome dear. You got the message right
Good read. Our passions are usually shown more as we go through trials of life and we are refined through them
That's it. You got it right
We all came to earth with a purpose and to reach it must be our goal
That's it. It must be everyone's goal to reach his purpose in other words, everyone must fulfill his earthly assignment .
Follow you purpose with passion. Thanks for your thoughts. God blesses you.
Amen!!!
