In a recent conversation I expressed that I believe it’s important to show interest in your interests, especially if it’s something you want a career in.
If you want to get into photography are you taking photos, learning about the manual settings on your camera, attending exhibitions etc. And how often are you doing these things?
I’m interested in personal development/wellness/spirituality/mental health/self exploration. I show my interest by writing about these things, attending events, talking about them, reading books, listening to podcasts and taking online classes.
Aside from these things being my interests, I also consider them to be important which is why I make a conscious effort to dedicate time to them each day.
However, if your interest in what you want to pursue only goes as far as saying your interested, then you’re probably not interested enough.
