My strength is my passion. I work with my passion.

Hear, O children of devotion, the words of Shweta Tiwari, who proclaimed with the fire of the heart: “My strength is my passion. I work with my passion.” In these words lies a truth as old as creation—that the greatest strength of a human being is not found in muscle, nor in wealth, nor in the inheritance of status, but in the passion that burns within. For when a man or woman works with passion, the spirit becomes a flame, and that flame consumes obstacles, illumines the path, and gives warmth to all who walk nearby.

The origin of these words is not mere poetry, but the testimony of one who endured hardship and yet rose by the power of inner fire. Shweta Tiwari, known to many for her labor upon the stage and screen, speaks not only of her art, but of her philosophy: that to live and work with passion is to anchor one’s life in a force that never tires. Fame and fortune are fleeting winds; discipline and routine can sustain but cannot inspire. But passion—passion is the wellspring of resilience, the unseen strength that carries one through nights of doubt and storms of trial.

History gives witness to this truth in countless lives. Consider Leonardo da Vinci, whose passion for art and science drove him to sketch inventions centuries before their time, and to paint works that still command awe. His strength was not in patronage alone, nor in tools, but in a relentless fire of curiosity and creation. So too with Marie Curie, who through passion for knowledge and discovery endured poverty, long nights of study, and the danger of radiation itself, leaving to the world both new science and a new vision of perseverance. Their strength, like Tiwari’s, was bound not to circumstance, but to the flame within.

To work with passion is to transform labor into love. Where others toil grudgingly, the passionate soul toils joyfully, for each step becomes meaningful. The world may call it work, but to the one moved by passion, it is creation, offering, and song. Such a person does not wither when difficulties arise, for their roots run deep into the soil of desire and love. Passion gives wings to endurance, and turns even burdens into blessings.

Yet let us also hear the deeper warning: passion must be harnessed with wisdom, lest it burn too wildly. A flame untended can consume, but a flame guided can light the world. To work with passion is not to abandon discipline, but to infuse discipline with joy. Shweta Tiwari’s words remind us that true strength comes when passion and purpose walk hand in hand.

O listeners, the lesson is this: discover what sets your heart aflame, and give yourself to it with courage. Do not chase only the things of the world—wealth, fame, approval—for these fade. Seek instead the work that awakens joy in your soul. Whether it be art, teaching, healing, building, or guiding, let passion be your companion, and it will give you strength when the body is weary and the road is long.

Practical is this counsel: each day, ask yourself, Am I working only with my hands, or also with my heart? Am I enduring life, or embracing it with passion? Choose at least one act daily that fills you with fire, and let that fire spread into your other labors. For when passion guides your work, even the smallest deed becomes mighty, and your life becomes a testimony of joy and power.

Thus remember the words of Shweta Tiwari: “My strength is my passion. I work with my passion.” Let them kindle your spirit, reminding you that strength is not borrowed, but born within; not imposed, but chosen. And may your passion, once awakened, become the force that carries you beyond hardship, beyond mediocrity, into the greatness of a life fully lived.
