Living a Passionate Life. When you think of being passionate about what you do, what comes to mind? My grandson is passionate about playing sports (basketball, baseball & football). He wants to have fun. He wants to do his best. At 10-yrs old, he has decided that his future happiness will consist of playing sports professionally.
Did you know that 80% of American's are NOT passionate about what they do? That means that 4 out of 5 people you meet or work with aren't being fulfilled. We can go through our entire life trying to "find" the right fit.
How do you determine what your purpose is in life? Do you recall what you enjoyed doing as a child? Your childhood can be a starting point in providing clues as to what brings you joy.
Write down things that excite you. Prioritize your list in order to obtain your top 5 interests/passions. Whatever decisions you make towards your career/job or retirement should be based on these top 5 passions. Implement a game plan that puts you on a path of living your passions. When you take responsibility and are willing to make the commitment to fulfill your destiny, you will find that you already know how to proceed.
At times you may feel discouraged or dissatisfied. Don't give up. You may be on the right track. These feelings can assist you in 'weeding out' any limitations or self-sabotage that you may be creating. Don't waste time focusing and/or doing things that won't lead you to your ultimate goal of being happy.
Do you have a Ph. D. in excuses? Is it always some thing or someone else's fault as to why you are stuck where you are? Let go of any excuses or blame as to why you're not living a passionate life.
Be clear on what you want. Become the change you want to see. Develop your plan and action steps for accomplishing your dreams. Following these steps will put you in the category with the 20% of Americans that are passionate about what they do.
