Z for Zeal
8:37:00 PM
Undaunted by sparse opportunities, Hoffman clung to his passion. He took whatever acting jobs would come his way, always hoping to be discovered. Each time he acted, even in humble roles, he added to his experience and fanned the flame of his passion.
Acting
was the common passion that all three of them shared. As a result, their
relationship grew much stronger. Despite the struggles they had to go through, it
was their zeal for acting that kept them together and kept them going forward.
People often tend to distance themselves when they don’t share a common
passion.
Z-Zeal
Take any
two people who share a strong relationship with each other and you will find
that both of them share a common passion; something that they are both zealous
about. It is often what cements that relationship.
Everyone
has a dream; something that they are passionate about; something that drives
them from within. The truth is that some pursue it whilst others give it up. In
order for us to develop a strong relationship with any one, the key is in
finding what their dreams/passions are and being able to relate to it. When we
find it, we enter their heart. The more we help them pursue their dreams and
visions, the deeper we take the relationship.
You can
know a lot about a person and still not understand him. More information isn’t
always the answer. To really understand people, you must know what they want,
and that requires you to go beyond the head and consider the heart.
Take Away Principle: In order
for us to develop a strong relationship with anyone, the key is in finding
what their dreams/passions are and being able to relate to it. The more we help
them pursue their dreams and visions, the deeper we take the relationship.
Tips on finding a person’s zeal:
1.
Accept that people are different and may not share
the same passions as we do.
2.
Ask good questions. What makes them happy? What
makes them sad? What gets them excited?
3.
Don't make assumptions about people based on their
background, profession, race, or gender.
4.
Be genuinely interested in them and support them if
you relate to their passions.
