I found this thought-provoking video on Youtube on finding your passion which really got me thinking.
Why do we do what we do everyday?
Do you ever feel that you are not really heading anywhere in your daily life? You get up day after day and go about your normal routine yet maybe, just maybe, it’s not the day to day life you would absolutely love.
Maybe you’ve just resigned to the “inescapable”: the rent or mortgage, the credit card payments, taking care of the family, chasing after a career, long hours travelling and working, spending hours and hours trying to keep everybody else happy?
Or maybe you are plain and simple bored to tears!
If you find yourself in this predicament, the great thing is that it doesn’t have to be this way. The first thing on your journey to freedom is finding your passion. Because at the end of the day, if you can’t find the ‘thing’ which makes you want to bounce off the bed everyday, then you are likely to lend up highly frustrated and possibly even angry.
And yet as simple as it sounds, many people actually find that it’s genuinely difficult to find their passion. Finding passion in one’s life is really very much like finding your purpose. Arguably that sounds a touch melodramatic yet all it really means is basically that you have unique and natural abilities that truly allow you to feel in tune with yourself.
Some of the questions you can contemplate to assist you to find your passion include “I really love to…” or “Time flies when I’m…”.
The most important thing to accomplish is to set some precious time aside without being interrupted and merely write down the answers to these type of questions. You will be surprised at the responses and will enable you to begin the journey to a new level of personal freedom.
