How To Find Your Passion In Life

I read this article recently by Warren Beatty:

'You've achieved success in your field when you don't know whether what you're doing is work or play.'

Some people know from a young age what they want in life and how they are going to get it. If you are anything like most people, you do not have a clue! This article is to help you find and discover what you are passionate about, so that you can enjoy life to the full.

The first question to ask yourself is 'Do you know what you love?'

Most people have no clue what they love to do. They spend most of their waking time in a job that may bring in decent incomes but little joy. In the day-to-day grind they simply do not have time to fully explore and decide what brings them happiness. They think that starting a business or switching careers will magically provide the solution. The danger is that if you don't get clear about your passion, you could easily create another "job" that is no more satisfying than the career you left.

Here are a few tips to help you discover your passion.

1. Find what keeps reoccurring in your life.

There maybe something that keeps showing up in your life that you love. For example, you may love photography, or public speaking, or nature... the list is endless. Next, seek out jobs, industries or businesses that will allow you to have some connection with what you are passionate about.

2. Think outside the box.

We get so used to working in what we are trained in. If you are a nurse, you get used to working as a nurse, and altho you may be passionate about something completely different, you never take the time to explore it. When trying to find your passion and figuring out what you want to do with your life think beyond what you currently do.

3. Timing is everything.

Timing is important. If you cannot find your passion, then the time may not be right to make a drastic change in your life. Making changes at the wrong time can lead to stress, and stress robs you of your peace, good health, and well being. If you feel you are ready to start to pursue your passions and live life to the full, GO FOR IT and best of luck!
