A common complaint for a lot of us is “I don’t know how to find my passion in life”. However, if we look at passion closely we soon realize that it is just an emotional state. Sure it gives us the desire and motivation to act, but when you scratch the surface it’s just a temporary emotion. In the end passion will never guarantee success.
What we typically mean when we say “find my passion” is really “find my purpose”, or “What are my strengths and talents?”. Those areas where we can achieve our own unique mastery. Skills and gifts that will in turn provide extraordinary value for others – to the extent that our skills will be in such high demand that others will seek us out.
In the previous post, we talked about flow-state and being in the zone. This is true passion in action, and can only be achieved with mastery of a discipline that results from long term consistent daily practice..
So where to start? First, connect with nature by finding a quiet place of contemplation to “hear your calling”. Start to look at what you are already good at. List all the areas out.Then go back to the list and cross out all the things you don’t like doing. Next add things that you have always been interested in doing but never got around to try.
TIP
The skills you select should be ones that are not dependent on technology or that have the possibility to become obsolete in the future.
Now get going. Pick the top interest on your list and start blogging about it. Register a free blog at wordpress or blogger and get started. Forcing yourself to write regularly about your passion will help you determine if it really is your unique calling – can you be a master at it and teach it to others?
