Fortunately, as a rule, it is not difficult to find something that you are passionate about. Just think about the things that you like to do; things that are fun, things that seem to come to you naturally. You are free to choose whatever you choose. You are not defined by the passions you choose, but by how you choose to act on them. When you fail to embrace and cherish them, you will not become known by them. When you choose to settle for less than what you know you can achieve, it will be like a slow poison.
“Don’t ask yourself what the world needs; ask yourself what makes you come alive. And then go and do that. Because what the world needs are people who have come alive.” – Dr Howard Thurman.
Passion is a driving force to some activity, object, or concept. It is the spark that ignites the flame to illuminate the path to your road to success. Without passion, the road will become dark. You will encounter road blocks, direction, focus and desire.
When there is passion in your life, you will know you have truly lived. Find your passion in your life, become it, let it become you. You will find great things will happen for you and those you encounter.
When there is a question about how you know what your passion might be, always go back to what you like to do, what gives you pleasure. Now, there might be some confusion if you think, “But what if I have so many things I am interested in that I can’t narrow it down?” In this case, you would still go back to what you like to do the most, the one that can maintain your interest and keep you true to yourself.
Ignite Your Passion:
- Focus on what is fun and meaningful for you.
- Start noticing what interests you.
- Accept your passion as being who you are.
- Activate you inner strengths
- Keep true to yourself.
- Ask yourself, “What makes me come alive?”
“Find your passion, whatever it may be. Become it, and let it become you and you will find great things happen to you and because of you.” – Alan Armstrong.
When you choose to let your passion and dreams go dormant, you have chosen a slow poison. Flip the switch! illuminate your path with the flame of your passion.
Check in with your true spirit. Listen to what your heart tells you. Pursue the things that not only catch your eye, but the ones that catch your heart. You will never let that flame of passion die. The poison of inactivity will not darken your path.
Start mining for the pieces of gold that are your inner strengths, the “nudges” you get when you feel like you are grinning from the inside out. These “nudges” will be your true spirit with a message to follow your passion.
