{"It's easy to doubt if our "active" passions have a purpose or leave an impact. We ask ourselves: Does it matter? What if we put our whole heart and soul into our passion and it doesn't turn out right? How can we have confidence the work we are doing will be a success? The quote below gives me so much reassurance. "What is done in love is done well." Plain, simple, and true. I wonder what would happen if we approached our active passions with this mentality. I truly believe we would be less hesitant and be more likely to leave a trail of positive change behind us."} SOURCE: The message above was originally posted and created by the The Daily Positive.

I think that most people ask themselves those questions. Many people are afraid to go after what they have a passion for because they are afraid it won't turn out the way they thought. I agree with the quote because if you are doing it in love than no matter how it turns out it will be okay.

Don't be scared. Go apply for that job at that big business. Go ask that girl to prom, or ask her to the movies. Who knows. you may just get that job. or that girl may say yes. go chase your dreams.

People are afraid to actually go for what they dream of or want to accomplish because of he end result, they are afraid on how it could end. I agree with the quote, "Nothing ventured, nothing gained." Its worth to try. The end result will never happen if you don't give ut a try. Don't be frightened the end result will surely surprise you.

Most people ask themselves these questions due to they look at their morals and continue to go by what they have learned in the past. Maybe if society had begun using the things that they are passionate about and going for what they believe in as well maybe we could unlock things in our brain we never thought of. The quote is something I agree with and the point I have to make with it is that when you do something with all your heart, in which this case it is love, the there is no doubt that I believe that it will turn out good in the end. Just go in with the right mindset and the passion for whatever it may be and it the end it will turn out in your favor.

These cuestions are very common, like most of my classmates mentioned we are often afraid to follow our dream or do what we are passionate about because we do NOT want to fail. Every person wants to succeed when doing what they love and feel appreciated. We have a right to accomplish anything we desire and actually enjoy the feeling of satisfaction when we are rewarded or when all that hard work pays off.

I think that this passage is saying that to do things in love is when you have a passion for something, you put your everything in that one thing to accomplish it. Some people are scared to put their everything into it, because they're scared of failure. I'd say if you don't try hard enough, you won't get to your full potential. We can have confidence by putting our heart and soul into what we're passionate about and fully accomplishing it.

You can either do something out of spite or out of love. I feel like it's that black in white. When you commit to something and you enjoy doing that thing isn't it doing something out of love? When you despise something yet you have to do it because you don't want to let someone down, isnt that a form of doing something out of love? Or maybe love is a made up concept that people use to explain something they otherwise wouldn't be able to explain. IT's a simple question with a complex answer. Why would we do something out of love? Maybe because us as human's have a need to make others happy, make ourselves happy.

Everyone is scared of failure. Many people are so scared of it that they'd much rather give up on their dreams than to put their all into it and work for what they want. According to the quote in order to succeed one should put their entire body, mind and soul to achieve what one wants. This is because everything done out of love is done right.

Having a passion in music and acting, I know how it feels to work hard for a part and not to get it. It's difficult and ruins your self esteem but eventually you get over it and realize you did well, and you feel much better. Basically as long as it's something you love, you'll be 100 percent fine.

In life it can be hard and even scary to chase after your dreams or passions. Defiantly in this day and age. Society turns their nose up to anything that is slightly different or original. With people constantly nit picking every thing you say or do it can be extremely difficult to do the things you think you want. It makes it hard and frustrating.

I think the most important thing coming from this is to "Do what you love, and love what you do". So to find that thing that you enjoy so much, you wake up and are excited to get out of bed. The fear of failure will get in your way if you let it, so we must not be afraid to fail. We have to push ourselves to be the best we can be, and no matter the outcome, you know you have achieved. When you do everything you can out of love, you know that it is all worth it in the end.

It's very easy to doubt your impact in your own life and even in other people's lives. Even when you put every bit of effort you have into something, there is always a small amount of uncertainty. I think that at one point or another everybody feels inadequate. In my opinion, the quote can be extremely helpful in these situations of confusion or doubt. When you love something, or you are passionate about it, you are more likely to succeed because it is important to you.
