There are days when you are doing well, earning well, living well but still not happy because you are not doing the things you are passionate about. Your soul is just not satisfied with what are you currently doing.
It want more. More fun. More adventures. More life.
The problem is there are lot of things that we are passionate about so sticking up with only one passion is not a great idea. But it is necessary and possible to clear on what your passions are.
If you can't figure out your passions then this post is for you. I'm going to share some tips so that you can have more clarity about your goals.
Why are you Confused with your True Passion?
Often we find it difficult to embrace our passions. It is because of:
Self Doubt
Many times we doubt the voice inside us. We start to underestimate if we are good enough to pursue our passions.
Thinking too much
Self doubt gives birth to overthinking. Thoughts like what if i didn't make it, what will people say, what if i lose and so on.....
Resistance
We often join our passions with making money which creates a resistance toward embracing our passions.
Ways to Identify your Passions
Figuring out your passions should be joyful after all it will bring fulfillment into your life. Use the following ways to identify them:
Ask Yourself- What would you do if you knew you could not fail?
- What are the activities when you lose track of time doing them?
- What are your strengths?(need not to be big enough)
- What would you do if money was not the issue?
- What are the things you always want to learn about?
Imagine Yourself as Older self
Imagine that you are in your 60's. What would you wish to spend your 20 or 30 year of life doing? What hobbies are you pursuing? What memories are you creating?
Imagine all these things and write down your answers on a paper.
