HOW TO DISCOVER YOUR PASSION

HOW TO DISCOVER YOUR PASSION?

‘Inside each and every one of us is one, true authentic swing, something he was born with. Something that is ours, and ours alone, something that can’t be taught to you, or learned, something that got to be remembered. Over time, the world can rob us of that swing, and it can get buried under all our would-haves, and could- have, and should-haves. Some folk even forget what their swing was like.’

-????Will Smith in The Legend of Bagger Vance

Like lost Love, many of us have a lost passion. To help you get a grip on discovering your (lost) passion, let me share five proven strategies to help you detect your passion.?

If you are sincere and entirely determined, you will definitely allocate some time to find the answers to these questions raised in each strategy. The easiest thing is to skip the step and continue to follow the guesswork or the false alarms taking you nowhere. I suggest you invest serious time to explore what you are naturally inclined to and are reasonably good at doing it.?

Ready? Here are those no-fail strategies for you.?

Strategy #01:

Remember the days when you woke up in the morning, and you were totally excited, enthused, and energetic because you were looking forward to something. What was that? What was different about those days? What made you so excited about those days? What were you anticipating? What was pulling you towards??

Strategy #02:

Imagine you have all the money in the word, and starting from today, you will never have to worry again for making money. What would you be doing starting from today??

Strategy #03:

Do you have any special skills that you think are purely God gifted? When you perform one of those activities, you don’t feel like putting in any energy. It is almost effortless. People around you feel surprised because it is complicated, though, and impossible to master the skill at this level.?

Strategy #04:

Is there anything in your life you love doing so much that you are willing to do it free, without expecting to get the money??

You are ready to do free for pure Love, not for money; that’s precisely the work world will be ready to pay you for hugely.?

Strategy #05:

Have you ever thought of getting retired? What is it you would love to do when you get retired? Why wait for retirement? Why don’t you start doing it now? Why postpone your passion till retirement? What if you convert this passion into a profession now and never get retired!

If you still struggle to determine how you will mark a difference in this world, the best starting point would be to identify where your talents and skills are residing? If you found this ‘life-work’ difficult, you will quickly be changing courses. You might have already changed some courses (jobs and professions, etc.), expecting to find your true passion.?

Remember, finding your passion is not an accident; it requires constant digging, plowing, mining, and tunnelling. You will have to make a deliberate effort to begin the quest to discover what your life is all about.?
