passion vs. dedication

7/13/2015

what's more important in a relationship, passion or dedication?

Several moons ago, I answered this question while filling out an online dating profile. At the time, I thought to myself, “Who wants a relationship founded upon dedication?” It just sounded boring.

While passion is an important catalyst, it is dedication which sustains relationship. When it comes to developing a career around doing what you love, it takes tremendous discipline to execute a vision from inception.

Success, according to many thought-leaders, is described as 1% inspiration, 99% perspiration. Real dedication is anchored in a deeply-rooted passion, one that is worth fighting for. And both passion and dedication are necessary ingredients for success.

Real dedication means there are no days off. It is the hard road where tenacity is forged. It is the fuel when passion fades. It is an unwavering determination to overcome all odds. And it is the essential ingredient to enduring success.

With dedication, everyday is an opportunity to take actionable steps towards realizing your goals. And by pacing yourself, you can sustain your passion for the long-haul. Whatever your ambition, the grit of dedication will likely get you further than the spark of passion.

People fall in love with passion. They feed their love with dedication.

This film festival is all about twisted horror. I am thinking of entering a short movie myself, but that is for next year. This year, I want to do some research and just watch everything that got in. I am confident that every single one of them is great. I hope that I can make the most out of the time that I still have left. I plan on entering the field of film making through this, I really do wish to do great.

Well, passion is necessary for every single tie-up. Because it is something that draws you to another person. Also, it influences the person to keep coming back for more. In other words, I can say that passion is the point where a relationship begins. Unfortunately, it is not the single key ingredient of building a successful long-term relationship. In my opinion, dedication is another key ingredient that you must take into consideration when going to build a lasting parallel. Both passion and dedications- are the crucial aspects without which life is meaningless. And dedication is something without which the existence of passion becomes worthless in a relationship.
