When Does Obsession Become A Good Thing? | Bulgari Via Eyewearbrands

As a general rule, the word 'obsession' tends to have a pretty negative connotation.  It's seen as excessive and all-consuming.  But it's also obsession that has led to some of the greatest stories, careers and relationships in the world, right?  I've been thinking lately about how some of the best and most exciting aspects of my life so far have come from borderline obsession and well, I'm pretty curious to learn about how others feel on the topic now.  Ooh, let's discuss...

''An idea or thought that continually preoccupies or intrudes on a person's mind.'' 

So, take personal development as an example.  Progression.  When we want something to happen and I mean really want something to happen, it tends to only happen if we're completely fixated on that one thing.  Obsession?  Probably.  But without that intense focus, maybe that particular thing wouldn't happen?  If a person intrudes your mind and becomes a regular thought, it can become love.  If an interest does the same, it can become a skill, even a career.  And the same applies to learning, working out, social skills and so much more.  Funnily enough, it also applies to fashion.  The designers who come up with the concepts, the businesses that sell the finished product and the consumers, who adore their new purchases.  Speaking of which, I'm completely smitten with these Bulgari sunglasses via Eyewearbrands.  My love for Bulgari has bordered on an obsession for many years now and so you can expect to see this frame feature a lot in my upcoming winter looks!

Ever since the idea crossed my mind that maybe, just maybe obsession can be a good thing, I haven't been able to get the thought out of my head.  So, my advice?  Next time you find yourself completely overwhelmed by the thought of one specific thing, and if that thought is positive and puts you in good place, call it an obsession and be proud of that.  It's your passion showing!  As you can probably tell, I'm super interested in this topic right now.  What's your personal opinion?  Can't wait to read your thoughts in the comments below...
