Some more on uncovering and cultivating that which makes you passionate about being. From the article: 1. Define what a “passion” really is. The best way to start is to define what a passion actually is. A passion isn’t just something you “kind of” enjoy, or a hobby. A passion is best defined by asking yourself a small question: “if the going got tough and things weren’t easy, would it be something you still enjoy?” 2. Remember your passion should be a self-expression of who you are. Ultimately when you are living/doing your passion — you are expressing yourself. 3. Be open-minded and always try new things. I think this is one of the keys to finding my passion. Always have an open mind and be open to try new things. 4. Write down what the best parts of what you enjoy now. From all the activities you do in your life — work, study or hobbies — write down what aspects you enjoy. 5. Don’t overthink the future, take small steps. Often we over-think the future, thinking that each choice we make today will make or break the future. Although that is definitely a distinct possibility, it is statistically unlikely that a choice you make today will “make or break” your life. 6. Don’t be afraid of creating your future dream passion/job. For some people, their “dream job” probably won’t exist, meaning that for some people they might have to make their own passion. 7. Walk the talk. Often the first thing that people will do when they come up with a goal or passion is tell the whole world. This is often the wrong approach; asking for friends for advice is helpful but “talking” and not “walking” can be pretty disadvantageous. 8. Don’t give up!
