What is your passion ?


While I was reading for postgraduation entrance exam this morning like everyday since 3 months,I lost into thoughts asking myself why am I trying reading this hard even though my mind is not properly set into this.It is nothing doing but just increasing pressure and stress in my head as I am forcefully putting things of book into my head.
I was thinking like why I am behind this.Answered back my mind after flashbacks that because of surrounding influences.Its because most of my friends are working for postgraduation and most of them have cracked i dont want to stay behind.Its because it will give me identity,fame,money,respect.
But cant I get all this with the work i am naturally interested in?.It would make easier and less stressful to me.
But other question came into my mind that in what I am actually intersted?
When I was in primary school I was interested in becoming pilot because i would excite seeing planes.When I was in high school I got interested in medicine becaus my father was doctor and all friends around me were competing to become doctor.I was unable to get my answer that what I am interested in.In what I feel doing pleasure.
I got no answer.
So if I dont have passion am I going to just sit and depend on my parents for whole life came the question to my mind.
"Definitely not",my mind answered.
Me:So what am I going to do for this?
Mind:Develop passion and interest in whatever you are in now.
What I did?
I properly set my mind right.I started taking interest in things I do.I made my work interactive and competitibe to develop interest.I challenged myself for little things,for small targets.Accomplishing this small targets was rewarding and would make it more passionate.
Psychologically it can be explained as positive reinforcement type of cognitive behavioural therapy.i.e.,rewarding for good behaviour.
