Hi,
I would suggest that you begin by doing an objective self-evaluation. Ideally, you must focus on your strengths and abilities and aim to make the best of these assets that you possess. At the same time, be realistic about your weaknesses (e.g., your fear of public speaking) and systematically work towards eliminating it. It is important that you write down your long-term, medium-term, and short-term goals, preferably following the SMART goal formula. Do not forget to periodically review your goals and make changes as you deem necessary. You must periodically benchmark your progress with those of your peers, not merely as a measure of evaluating competition but to give you a realistic feel of how you are faring.
Once you know your goals, it becomes relatively easier to focus on being motivated. While the extrinsic motivators would be vital for career growth and financial well-being, in the long term, it is the intrinsic motivators that will determine your passion, zeal, and persistence to achieve your professional, personal, financial, social, and self-actualization goals. You also need to regularly identify, enjoy, and celebrate the big and small successes that you achieve to keep your enthusiasm high, your motivational levels at peak levels, and reinforce your own self-belief.
Find out new challenges in your job. These could be opportunities for you to leverage your creativity, discover some hidden talents and potential in the process, and also make an impression on your superiors, subordinates, and clients. To grow, you need to take on new responsibilities. Seek such opportunities by volunteering, accepting gracefully difficult assignments, and expanding your work profile.
I would also invite you to go through the inputs in the following Inspirational and Motivational blogs listed below, which can also give you a lot of inputs on keeping your enthusiasm, spirit, and zeal alive and dynamic.

The simplest way to build passion is to do what you Love and to Love what you do. Since the first part may not be very easy, focus on trying to find out reasons to love what you do.

Hi, Mr. Reddy,
Mr. Jacob is a very passionate trainer, and I always admire him for his outstanding knowledge and skills. He has furnished a detailed post, whereas Barnbarn submitted it in a simple form.
Passion is nothing but developing a strong emotion with appropriate visualization for anything that we want to achieve in life and imbuing it in our subconscious mind. Convey what you need to the subconscious mind emotionally and effectively. Develop strong self-belief to achieve it, visualize it, repeat it again and again, and see the results for yourself.
All the best,

Jacob and others have given valuable inputs and tools on developing passion. But it is necessary to understand what passion is, its color, and how it feels, so that you can identify it properly. Passion should be like that of Edison, who invented the electric bulb. He failed 500 times in his experiments, but he never gave up and ultimately invented something that lights up billions of homes worldwide. Passion should be akin to the zeal of Columbus, who discovered America despite facing thousands of miles of journey, storms, and rough seas. A passion of this nature can only be intrinsic. The key emotive pillars that sustain passion are: 1) A definite goal to pursue 2) Choosing a goal to satisfy an emotive urge to do things differently or accomplish something lofty 3) A strong feeling and a burning desire to achieve the goal. It is said that a small flame cannot heat the vessel. 4) A never-ending enthusiasm to pursue the goal.
What prompted me to describe passion is your query as to how you can develop passion towards your work. It conveys that you are not feeling passionate about your work currently. Do you want to know how to develop interest in work? If so, first, probe those factors that do not make you feel passionate about your work now. This will help you develop at least an interest in work if not passion.

Dear Vamsi,
To build passion, you need to have a strong knowledge about HR and maintain a good relationship with employees. Mainly, you should think outside the box. You need to study your Organizational Climate and act accordingly.

In my view, passion is an emotion that is intrinsic but not dependent on external requirements like knowledge and skills. Good knowledge and interpersonal skills are tools that help in accomplishing a task efficiently. Passion is like fuel that drives a vehicle. A vehicle with a great machine will not move unless it is fueled by gas. For example, great industrialists like Dhirubhai Ambani could set up an industrial empire in petrochemicals because of his burning passion for it but not because he is a great exponent in chemical engineering. Of course, knowledge and skills help you reach excellence in whatever you are doing if you have a passion for it. You can acquire knowledge if you have a passion for it, but you cannot develop passion for a particular thing because you have knowledge of it. That is the reason you find engineering students opting for HR jobs rather than technical jobs because they have a passion for people-related functions but not machine-related processes.
