Most of the people describe finding the passion as
achievements in life. Higher income and luxurious lifestyles are often depicted
as the factors which create happiness. But, it’s not the way it looks like. The
real happiness is usually in the effort to achieve something. When a person
gets immersed in something and utilizes everything he has to accomplish a goal,
this activity is what we can call finding the passion and following it. Hence,
this process creates great happiness.
The reason for it is pretty much associated with the
neurology. There is a hormone called ‘Dopamine’ which gets released when a
person gets deeply immersed in an activity of interest. This hormone is
responsible to bring excitement, sadness or anger in response to the results
achieved after a particular activity. When this hormone is being released, the
person gets emotionally attached to the process which causes the release of
this hormone.
This fact is very true for the children. It has been found
that children who are provided with everything remain bored and unhappy for the
most part of their time. The reason is that they do not find any pleasure for
doing any activity because they would have the item which they could get after
accomplishing the task. The most probable reasons for the teenagers to develop
the habit of smoking and now getting insanely engaged with the social media is
that most of the children do not have the habit of getting engaged in any other
activity. This is the reason that encouraging children to find their passion
has to be one of the top agendas of parents.
Remember, happiness
comes more from the activity rather than its result
It may be too hard for you to stop yourself from getting
your child what he wants, but that wouldn’t bring the happiness which can come
with the process of achieving meaningful goals. Hence, your child needs to
strive for the goals which can be in the form of rewards by you.
Help your kids in
finding their passion
Children can have different goals in different scenarios.
Age factor and level of maturity also come into play. Your job as a parent is
to identify what your child requires and then encourage him to strive for
accomplishing the goal. For instance, you can buy your kid the bicycle he wants
to have. But, instead, you can encourage your child to raise some money to get
the bicycle. The purpose would be to keep the child excited about purchasing
the bicycle.
Support their
passions
Most of the parents always insist only on academic
performance of their children. They are so convinced about the importance of
child’s academic performance that they rarely look at the other things their
children may have some interest in. however, the parents should be happy that
their child has an artistic side due to which he likes to play with colors. The
children should be allowed and encouraged to follow their passion.
