How can you find your real passion?

MemberWing · 11-23-2009, 01:04 PM

Sometimes we reach a stage where things are going "ok", money is coming... yet - no inspiration - no satisfaction is felt from the things we do.

How do you know whats' your real passion?

If you already do what you absolutely love - that is your passion.

What about people who are struggling and don't know what they need to do?
The answer that worked for me was to sit and write down things that I loved to spent money on during the last 1-2 months (excluding necessities of course). What I enjoy to spend money on was an answer.

How and what do you do do you find your passion?

Aronya · 11-24-2009, 04:06 PM

Hi Gleb,
I'm still trying to answer this question with certainty - I have too many interests. But, one thing that seems to be true for me is that there are certain subjects that continue to hold my attention, and exposure to them doesn't take the gild off the lily.

Jon MacPherson · 11-24-2009, 04:35 PM

Hey Gleb,

Unique take on the subject. It's like, "put your money where your mouth is". Kind of.

I like to use the one about time. If time passes by and you don't even realize it, you are engaged. For me, it's all about engagement.

Best, Jon

mello · 11-24-2009, 05:32 PM

So many people tell you to find your passion yet often don't tell you 'how' so ths is useful for people. For me, like Jon, it's about what I spend my time on. I can say I'm passionate about certain things but if I'm not giving them air space in my day then I'm not so passionate. When I get lost in time (liek on WF!!) then I know I'm engrossed. We rarely spend time on things we dont enjoy (unless we get paid to do so!)

rainspeak · 11-24-2009, 05:43 PM

There's not a short answer to that but there is an answer. There is a really good excercise in Andy Fuehl's Wealth Withoug A Job sytem that guides you through just that process. Finding your true passion in life. As many times as I've recommended this guy I should be on the payroll but you know, it all comes around right?

daveg39 · 11-24-2009, 06:08 PM

Why only one passion? I don't have one overiding passion but I have 2 or 3 things that stimulate and create challenges.

bigcat1967 · 11-24-2009, 07:44 PM

I have multiple clients now and when I get them on the first page - it's like winning the super bowl. I really want them to do well - which means I do well. It's not about the money though I would love to have this turn into a full-time biz for me (work full time as an IT Supervisor).

How did I get this passion? Not sure - stumbled into SEO - but I remember praying to God for a passion since I didn't have any passion whatsoever in my life. And I ended up doing SEO and then I started loving it. Greatest move in my life - and now I have a part-time biz optimizing ppl's sites.

When you spend so much time and money on certain things that could be passion. I haven’t find mine but I’m not in a hurry.

markfoo76 · 11-25-2009, 12:14 AM

Here's a few suggestions:

1. Start with Your Talents. Everyone has a special talent or hobby. You don't have to be the best at something, just come up with a subject that you enjoy.

2. Be Open to New Experiences. You never know where life is going to take you, so be open-minded and explore new things. You might be in for a surprise.

3. Communicate With People in Your Field. If you're still in the
brainstorming phase of finding your life's passion and you don't
know whether or not you'd truly enjoy something, be prepared to ask
questions. When you take the time to communicate with others you
can learn a lot. Ask people who share your interests about their
daily lives. Ask any question that you want! It may help you make
up your mind.

6. Never Give Up. The path to your passions is hardly ever easy;
many people will tell you that they nearly gave up when they were
dealing with the same subject. In order to find your passion, you
need to dig down deep and tell yourself that you'll stop at
nothing. You need to believe in yourself because you truly never
know what tomorrow will bring.

Cheers~

In my opinion, your real passion is something you would keep doing even if there`s no financial or any other reward than the joy of doing it.

The strange thing is, when you start to do what you love and don`t care about so much about the financial side, the money starts to show up...

-Lauri

he_who_brings_order · 11-27-2009, 04:26 PM

Analyze yourself.

On what you spend your time, money and other resources, you love that.

Then create a new role for yourself in reality, and dive into it for some time, for example for 90 days. In other words you experiment for some time to see how it fits into your reality.

Arun Kumar · 12-01-2009, 02:25 AM

I have thought before that it's hard to know the exact real passion of me but after looking at " markfoo76 " i am feeling little bit confidence on me that i can know my real passion. I want a question for all of you that if you found your passion then are you fulfilling your passion?

webpathfinder · 12-27-2009, 11:08 PM

If you find your competitors to be respectable, that is a good indication that you have the right passion.

TheBrainchildGroup · 12-28-2009, 03:37 AM

I believe you can find your true passion(s) through experiences, and nothing more. As life goes on, and you experience new things, you will find what truly keeps you ticking.

Geoff Carter · 12-28-2009, 02:05 PM

Two ways to put it...

Find something you love to do and find someone who will
pay you for doing it

or

Assuming that you had everything you need and in fact what
you want, too.... What would you do if you didn't need to
get paid for doing it.

Geoff

webwriter · 12-28-2009, 02:16 PM

Ask yourself what you most enjoy doing and why. Have you made any money from it, for example? Will you ever get tired of engaging in that passion and why or why not?

I simply reviewed my experiences as a student and identified areas that appealed to me. One of those areas was writing. I never had a problem writing papers or articles, for example. Eventually, I wrote for money and had articles and a book published.

amaechi007 · 12-28-2009, 04:39 PM

Making money online is my interest, but providing for my family through internet marketing is my passion.

I think passion on itself could be a myth. Sometimes when we apply ourselves to something we initially hate, we sometimes become passionate about it at the end of the day.

richjerk321 · 12-29-2009, 09:30 AM

Finding your passion is pretty easy and simple.

You have to sit and ask yourself this:

"Where And What Do I Want To Be And Do 5 Years From Now?"

You then start the thinking process and focus on what you do WANT, and then you go out and Achieve it. You will then have other desires, and you go after them at the point when you have achieved your first goal.

sgboston23 · 12-29-2009, 08:23 PM

I think you've got to try lots of new experiences and chat with new people. If you do the same thing every day, don't expect new passions to float into your life.

SuperSmartEbook · 12-30-2009, 03:32 AM

A lot of the times when I think / brainstorm of ideas, I would ask myself this: Money issue aside, Would I do it?

If the answer is yes, than I would go ahead. I believe if money isn't the issue and I would still do it then it means I have 'enough' passion to do it

Glenny61 · 12-30-2009, 03:38 AM

I get asked this question probably more than any other. And for me the answer is simple.

The question isn't so much what is my passion but rather how would I feel if I was living a passionate life alligned with my pasion or my purpose?

So how would you be feeling? Forget about trying to find intellectually what your passion or purpose is, because passion is a feeling state and therefore a little hard to nail down by thinking about it.

But it is easy to identify when we are feeling totally engaged. When time seems to vanish. When we are in the zone and things seem easy and effortless. This is some of what it feels like to me when I am passionately involved. It feels good.

So if you start to identify what makes you feel some of what I have talked about you will be living in allignment with your passion.

So what makes you excited? what makes you happy? What creates a state of intense interest and curiousity? Start taking those actions and your passion and purpose will make itself known to you.

Glenn

honestbizpro · 01-04-2010, 06:00 PM

That is a real tough one when you really think about it.

I love different things for different reasons.

I am a city boy but I can remember taking a survey in high school to figure out what your vocation should be and I remember saying things like I love outdoors and it came back that I should be a farmer! What!

Lot's of people love sex but do they want to go into porn or adult websites? I don't think so.

So I guess in the end we have to balance what we love, what is our hobbies and what can we do to monetize something we love doing.

My passion is defined as ... what I'd be happy to do for nothing at all but fresh air and sunshine, all day, everyday ~

"Do what you love ... the money will follow." Marsha Sinetar

Han Fan · 01-04-2010, 10:17 PM

I believe, we all here to help the WORLD become better place..

I am creating a product to help people raise up in the world, financially, spiritually, or health wise...

but, the true passion isn't about MONEY...it's about make the world a better place:

Quote:

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is

our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is

nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to

shine as children do. It's not just in some of us; it is in everyone. And as we let our own lights shine, we

unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence

automatically liberates others.

~ Marianne Williamson Author of A Return of Love.

Find a higher purpose, It is my DREAM to end World Poverty and get rid of HOMELESS... give homeless people a place where they can finally call HOME...

When I know, what I do matters, that give me the light to shine...the power to move on.....we all plays a very important part of the world...the material things are too temporary....You can't take them when you die....

you can make the world a better place, that can be passed it on into generations way after you are gone....

that is where you will find your true fulfillment.... It's never in the money, it's never about material things..it's about INNER fulfillment..

Have a Great New Year!

rushindo · 01-07-2010, 05:32 PM

I agree with others who said you have to find your passion through experience. How can you ever know you are passionate about something until you try it?

How can you find out you are passionate about playing the piano until you play the piano? How can you find out you are passionate about drawing until you start drawing? And so on...

I don't think "imagining" what you would like to do is a good way to find your passion. A lot of things sound fun and engaging when you imagine them. But you may find you hate it when you actually try it. It's just like looking at food and saying, hey that looks good, and then you taste it, and it tastes horrible.

So I believe experience through trying new things is the only way.

travlinguy · 01-07-2010, 06:05 PM

Interesting to see so many people who seem to struggle with this. Pretend that all of a sudden there was a life or death situation where you or a loved one had one second to spit out your life's passion or purpose. You'd do it and it would be accurate.

People get really hung up with this question because ego starts whispering to your subconscious saying.... YOU?! Doing what?! See, we already know what it is and it isn't that far below the surface. It's right there but so many of us don't feel we can do great things. We do consciously but inside, where it really counts in the subconscious, we've picked up impressions from our environment (parents, teachers, friends, society) that we're just average and not meant for great things. It's true.

There was a thread on the main board a few weeks ago that got a lot of attention and it had people hopping mad. A poster said that people didn't create high priced products because they had issues with self-esteem. It's been my experience that almost any time someone questions another's self-esteem it makes that person angry and defensive. That's because we feel that if there's an issue with our self-esteem, we've done something wrong or we're flawed.

But every last person alive could have better self-esteem. Being completely comfortable with who and what you are is like life… a journey with no final destination. I remember how utterly pissed I was when someone first suggested that my self-esteem wasn't all it might be. But I slowly discovered that I had plenty of issues with it. Then I set out to improve it. And that journey I mentioned above is full of challenges and rewards as well as lessons. It's life itself.

And in the process of self-discovery you'll admit to yourself what your passion is. And as you go through the process of shedding the beliefs that are holding you from going after your dreams, you get closer to making them real. I think one of the greatest examples of the longshot coming in has been Susan Boyle. If ever there was someone who appeared to not be worthy, she’s the one. But fortunately, she didn’t accept that label. Think of it.

There are a few clichés that describe the initial spark. One is a question: What would you do with your life if you knew you couldn't fail?

The other is: What would you do if you could do whatever you wanted (not eat bon bons all day and watch sports) and all the bills were paid?

Answer those questions and then just go about doing those things pretending you can't fail and that money is no object and you're on your way to greatness.

urban renewal · 01-08-2010, 03:23 PM

I heard a funny bit of advice once, but it has some truth to it:

If you want to find your passion, sit down for one hour each day and think about what you would rather be doing than sitting down for one hour each day.

One famous author said that Passion is Love and Hate all at the same time... So I say, find a something that you love and how it has now been abused to the point that you hate the results - if you have kids, take a look at child pornography, your stability is leveled and even growing - then take a peak at poverty. Then ask your self "How can I make a lasting impact in this need.?"

A lot of the times when I think / brainstorm of ideas, I would ask myself this: Money issue aside, Would I do it? If the answer is yes, than I would go ahead. I believe if money isn't the issue and I would still do it then it means I have 'enough' passion to do it

I get asked this question probably more than any other. And for me the answer is simple. The question isn't so much what is my passion but rather how would I feel if I was living a passionate life alligned with my pasion or my purpose? So how would you be feeling? Forget about trying to find intellectually what your passion or purpose is, because passion is a feeling state and therefore a little hard to nail down by thinking about it. But it is easy to identify when we are feeling totally engaged. When time seems to vanish. When we are in the zone and things seem easy and effortless. This is some of what it feels like to me when I am passionately involved. It feels good. So if you start to identify what makes you feel some of what I have talked about you will be living in allignment with your passion. So what makes you excited? what makes you happy? What creates a state of intense interest and curiousity? Start taking those actions and your passion and purpose will make itself known to you. Glenn

That is a real tough one when you really think about it. I love different things for different reasons. I am a city boy but I can remember taking a survey in high school to figure out what your vocation should be and I remember saying things like I love outdoors and it came back that I should be a farmer! What! Lot's of people love sex but do they want to go into porn or adult websites? I don't think so. So I guess in the end we have to balance what we love, what is our hobbies and what can we do to monetize something we love doing. .

I agree with others who said you have to find your passion through experience. How can you ever know you are passionate about something until you try it? How can you find out you are passionate about playing the piano until you play the piano? How can you find out you are passionate about drawing until you start drawing? And so on... I don't think "imagining" what you would like to do is a good way to find your passion. A lot of things sound fun and engaging when you imagine them. But you may find you hate it when you actually try it. It's just like looking at food and saying, hey that looks good, and then you taste it, and it tastes horrible. So I believe experience through trying new things is the only way. Brandon

Pretend that all of a sudden there was a life or death situation where you or a loved one had one second to spit out your life's passion or purpose. You'd do it and it would be accurate. People get really hung up with this question because ego starts whispering to your subconscious saying.... YOU?! Doing what?! See, we already know what it is and it isn't that far below the surface. It's right there but so many of us don't feel we can do great things. We do consciously but inside, where it really counts in the subconscious, we've picked up impressions from our environment (parents, teachers, friends, society) that we're just average and not meant for great things. It's true. There was a thread on the main board a few weeks ago that got a lot of attention and it had people hopping mad. A poster said that people didn't create high priced products because they had issues with self-esteem. It's been my experience that almost any time someone questions another's self-esteem it makes that person angry and defensive. That's because we feel that if there's an issue with our self-esteem, we've done something wrong or we're flawed. But every last person alive could have better self-esteem. Being completely comfortable with who and what you are is like life… a journey with no final destination. I remember how utterly pissed I was when someone first suggested that my self-esteem wasn't all it might be. But I slowly discovered that I had plenty of issues with it. Then I set out to improve it. And that journey I mentioned above is full of challenges and rewards as well as lessons. It's life itself. And in the process of self-discovery you'll admit to yourself what your passion is. And as you go through the process of shedding the beliefs that are holding you from going after your dreams, you get closer to making them real. I think one of the greatest examples of the longshot coming in has been Susan Boyle. If ever there was someone who appeared to not be worthy, she’s the one. But fortunately, she didn’t accept that label. Think of it. There are a few clichés that describe the initial spark. One is a question: What would you do with your life if you knew you couldn't fail? The other is: What would you do if you could do whatever you wanted (not eat bon bons all day and watch sports) and all the bills were paid? Answer those questions and then just go about doing those things pretending you can't fail and that money is no object and you're on your way to greatness.

I heard a funny bit of advice once, but it has some truth to it: If you want to find your passion, sit down for one hour each day and think about what you would rather be doing than sitting down for one hour each day.

One famous author said that Passion is Love and Hate all at the same time... So I say, find a something that you love and how it has now been abused to the point that you hate the results - if you have kids, take a look at child pornography, your stability is leveled and even growing - then take a peak at poverty. Then ask your self "How can I make a lasting impact in this need.?"
