Do you have passion for your profession?

Hi all!

I was reading through the blogs today and I noticed a common theme in a few of them -- having passion for what you do. Do you have passion for your profession? I may be new here, but I always have my finger on my passion pulse for real estate, and it is still beating loudly. I use this as a litmus test to make sure I am doing the right thing by not only by clients, but by myself as well. If I'm not passionate about what I do, my clients will see right through me.

I remember the last time I felt a passion for what I do -- when I was flying. Everyday seemed liked an adventure and not the same ol' same ol' like other jobs I've had. I feel blessed to be in a profession where I feel that passion again. I look forward to getting up in the morning and facing the day head-on with a plan. I look forward to working with people and helping them with their goals and dreams.

I know, this comes off as really "Rah! Rah! Sis Boom Bah!" but I don't apologize for it. Yes, I'm new to the field and maybe the honeymoon hasn't worn off yet. But I also haven't seen any real compensation yet for my efforts and hard work, but I don't expect to just yet either. I'm only two months into this profession and I am still building my machine. To be perfectly honest, I fully expect that the fruits of my labor won't ripen for some time. And yet, I'm still motivated. I'm still passionate.

This isn't just another job to me. This is a profession, a way of life, a career. I was lucky once to have found a career I had passion for in flying. Dare I fly closer to the sun? Am I lucky enough to have another career I have passion for? That is a blessing, and I thank all the family and friends who have, and are, helping me along the way to succeed at my new found passion.
