Working on a job that you are passionate about is always a dream come true.

If you have found your calling and are pursuing it, you are one lucky person. It seems to be a sure recipe for joy, success and happiness.

The utopia, however, at times turns to dystopia.

One unintended effect of following your passion is that you do not feel you are working beyond your physical and mental capacity.

Often, those who pursue their passion run at full speed,oblivious that they are running a marathon, not a short race.

They do not realise that a marathon cannot be run at a sprinter’s pace.
Be careful lest the fire of your passion burns you.

Control the fire.
