How To Find Your Passion Finally

Is It Important To Find My Passion?

If you are wondering how to find your passion and whether it is important, you will get along just fine without it, well maybe not fine, you will dread every day of your boring existence.  There are no rules about what you should do with your life, apart from the rules society and peer pressure apply.

You have free will and that means you have free will do follow what your heart tells you in each moment, or you can follow the thoughts inside your head that stem from society’s programming or your parent’s wishes or your best friends idea of what is right.

How Do I Know What My Passion Is?

It is easy, have a look at your life right now and answer to yourself

• where do I spend my free time?
• or if you don’t get much free time, take some moments
  to feel what you would do.
• where do you get a little buzz of excitement just
  before you do something?
• what do you surround yourself with (what type of
  books, music etc)

People think that their passion has to be something massive and obvious and like some big revelation.  It is not like that.  It will be in your environment already.

If it doesn’t seem a big deal to you, remember not everyone has a passion that takes them out into the world.  You must fill the space you are in now before anything else will show up.  That means don’t deny what is obvious right now in favour of waiting and hoping for something else.

What Is Passion Anyway?

You can think of passion as simply enthusiasm.  What are you enthusiastic about?  If your mind immediately says ‘nothing’ then take a moment, slow down, centre yourself and make a decision to watch yourself and your thinking over the next 48 hours.  What gives you a little kick of energy and emotion?  Where do you get a little buzz?

• It might be when you think about putting together a
  menu and going shopping for food for a dinner party for friends.
• It might be separating yourself from others and
  spending a couple of hours on your own making crafts.
• It might be just before you are going to look after
  children you get a little excited.
• It might be when you first sit at your computer and
  click on the internet button you feel freedom and power.
• It might be being alone with something mechanical
  like cars.

Keep looking no matter how small or insignificant it used to seem, this is how to find your passion.  You passion is in your life now.

Remember that what you find exciting now might not be the same in two years time.  Maybe at a certain age you will be ready to discover your talent and excitement for snooker or dancing or a musical instrument.

That is why I say you must fill the space you are in now.  Follow what is true for you now.  You cannot manufacture passion for something so don’t go looking for what your passion might be.  How to find your passion? Look for what happens already within.
