You’ll come across many quotes and endless internet forums and books that say, “Follow your passion.” But what exactly does it mean? It’s the fire within your spirit that tells you that no matter what happens, no matter how distant you appear to be from where you want to be, your unwavering belief will help you get there.
Because it is only when you are passionate that you will find a pursuit that consumes you, liberates you, challenges you, and provides you with a sense of significance and joy.
Many Bollywood films will give you the aforementioned emotion as well as the inspiration to pursue what you love. Here are a few examples:
