Finding your passion

Life in itself has a beutiful design no matter who you are, where you are from or which social standard you were born with, we always have the option to do what we love and love what we do. Have you ever wondered or dared to ask yourself what your passion in life is? Its quite an intimidating question but there is no wrong or right here, the problem is the majority of people have no clue. Most successful people have said that its not about getting where you want to be it is about enjoying every step forward you take. It´s not about the destination, it´s about the journey. So hold on, are you enjoying your journey so far?

From my experiences there are two types of people. With an entirely differant view on life and like i said there are no wrongs or rights. The important thing is that you find it worthwhile and motivating. I notice alot of people around me are either so busy they have no time for freinds not even enough time for themselves, no play, no training. All work. And guess what, im fine with that if you love your proffesion that much thats okey. But recent study shows that 70% of people are not engaged or interested in their line of work. The root couse of this problem might be becouse they are not doing what they love. Then on the other hand we have people, alot of people, Stuck. They have no dreams, no intention of getting anywhere, no goals. They are satisfied with their surrounding and how life is. Great! I believe in a good mixture of both work and play, following your intincts and ultimately doing something that you like doing.

But how do you know?

To find out what we are passionated about we have to go inside ourselves and ask a series of questions. You have to dig deep down inside you and I want you to write down the answers to theese questions so you dont forget them and constantly remind yourself of them. This will help to keep you motivated. When you have the answers you should make small bite size goals out of them and celebrate once you have accomplished them. Taking small steps towards your final destination wheter it might be becoming rich, learning a new language or learn to cook there are no wrongs or rights. You know you will get there and becouse you love doing this, enjoying the journey and each step wont be a problem. Before you read on, grab a pen and a blank sheet of paper and write down the answers to each question, because it will help you eliminate some of the overwhelm, uncertainy, and fear.

1. Why do you want to find your passion? Finding out why is important becouse it will fuel your motivation.

2. What do you like doing, what do you make time for? What makes you excited?

3. If you had the superpower of never failing what would you do?

4. You have one more day to live, how do you spend it?

5. When was the last time you did somehing for the first time? Nothing new grows in your comfort zone, what would you like to do or learn?

6. Whats stopping you? And how can you solve that problem?


Only you can answer theese questions and if you read through the article, and didn’t write anything down, I suggest you go back, and do so if not then you are making the choice to stay where you are, and as long as you’re okay with that, that’s cool with me. If you’re waiting for something magical to happen, please don’t, because in the end, you’re the only one that can create the life of your dreams.

Now i wish you a good rest of the day. Enjoy yourself. Íf you liked this article comment and share it with your freinds.
