Feeling Vs Skill

What is a skill?

A skill is the ability to do something. It can be the ability to cook, ability to express gratitude and more.

What is a feeling?

A feeling is an emotional state, which can be happy, sad or any other. Do we can develop these feeling of our own? Obviously we can. No one is stopping us to be happy now except oneself. At least you can smile now, if you haven’t during the day. What do you think now, is happiness a skill or feeling?

We tend to think in binary. The presence of or make us think it cannot be both. But as we all know happiness is a feeling just like sorrow or sad. We can learn to develop this feeling. That’s what the skill is i.e. ability to laugh. Developing the skill to be happy. It’s only us who stop us from being happy.

On the same lines, what do you think about passion? Like people say, I am passionate about dancing, singing, and more. Can the passion be developed or is it only natural? There is everything impossible on this planet until someone did it 😀 It can be natural or can be developed too.

Wondering how do one develop the passion?

I don’t have a ballpark answer to that. I can narrate my experience. I didn’t like to write as such. My sibling even used to ask me to write but I never did. But today here, I am. I have started to enjoy writing now. The words flow effortlessly, letting the fingers do the magic. Initially, everything is tough, including learning the numbers or alphabets. With time we can surely make progress. The choices completely lie in our hand. We can always do what we will to do. Let’s take another instance, I didn’t like to review the articles once I have written them. I used to directly publish them. Some people suggested me in the beginning to review but I didn’t get used to it. Couple of weeks back, one of my closed friends said me couple of times to review. Finally, the words struck me and I took up the challenge. Now actually it feels good to review before I publish, it helps to know the gaps and correct them, making the write up more crisp and delicious to read 😉

What if you don’t like the task and as a result unable to develop the passion?

Pin pointing exactly what you don’t like will really help to figure out. It all boils down to knowing one’s taste. The reality might be hard to accept but it’s the way it is. Being honest with oneself is not an easy thing to do 😀
