Obsession Versus Passion

Passion positions us to pursue the opportunities created by the Big Shift, while obsession makes us oblivious to the expanding opportunities around us.’

‘Passion reaches outward, while obsession draws inward.’

‘Passion creates options, while obsession closes them.’

‘Passion draws other people in; obsession pushes them away.’

Passion helps build relationships, and obsession inhibit them.’

‘Obsessive people hide behind their objects of obsession. They care more about those objects, not others or even themselves.’

Obsessive people are hard to get to know and trust, because they exhibit minimal interest or curiosity regarding the needs or feelings of others and share little of themselves.’

‘Obsession tends toward highly specific focal points or goals, whereas passion is oriented toward networked, diversified spaces.’

‘Obsessive people have a weak sense of identify, because they displace their sense of self into the object of their obsession.’

‘Obsessive personalities may be driven to create, but their lack of determination to grow as people constricts the scope of their creativity.’

"If you have a powerful yes, 
you'll find a way to make it happen. 
A passionate yes makes it very hard 
for people to say no to you."- Gezim Gashi

Do you have a powerful yes? 
How powerful is it? 

To be successful in your own life,
don't worry about how many nos
you have received in your life.
They don't matter.
All you have to do is learn from them.
Rejections have lessons.
Follow the lessons, not the rejections.

People do not reject you. It is not about you.
They are not happy with what you are selling.
Just know that rejection is not about you,
but about what you are selling.

If you want to grow, you must be comfortable with rejection letters.
You must be comfortable with lots of nos.
And they will continue to come.

When you hear no, then it means you are 
getting closer to where you are going to be.
It means you are trying.
It is means something is about to happen.
Just be patient with yourself,
And victory will come.
