2 Steps to Finding Your Passion

By:

Finding your passion in life gives you the juice and energy to be persistent. It channels inner forces and energy to overcome outer circumstances and conditions.

Are you living your passion either in business or outside your career?

Here are 2 steps to finding your passion:

Step 1. Finding Passion with Introspection

Spend some time with yourself. Examine your life and get in touch with those thoughts and feelings that are important to you. Reflect on past experiences and ask yourself:

When do I feel that my life is most meaningful?

What do I enjoy doing the most?

What activities bring me the most passion and energy?

What are my true priorities?

What is the deepest purpose I would like to express in my life?

Write down the answers to these questions. Just reading this is not going to cut it.

Find a quiet space and take 15-20 minutes to really answer these questions. Spend some time and really think about what brings you joy and happiness in your life, then move on to step #2.

Step 2. Finding Passion with Environment

You see, you occur to people a certain way. And the way you occur to people is different than how you see yourself. They see things that you don't. These provide clues as to what you are most passionate about.

Consider 5 people in your life that are close to you: your spouse, partner, friends or your parents. Sit down with them and ask them these questions:

What do you think comes most naturally to me?

What do you think are my special talents and gifts?

What do you think I am really good at?

What do you think is really important to me?

When do you find that I'm the happiest and what am I doing?

Again, just reading this is not going to cut it. Write out the answers and review them. Compare the answers you received from the introspection method to the environment method, then look for patterns.

What are the similarities?

What patterns do you see?

What qualities, character traits and values seem to be repeated over and over again?

This is what I call "a clue." Your patterns are an indication of what is unique and special about you. It's what brings you the most passion. Just be willing to take the time to look and you'll surely find it.
