Finding Your Passion ...Another Take
The funny thing about finding your passion is that you know when passion is missing in your life. You feel as if you are just putting in time. The days flow by faster and have less and less meaning. You "wake up" one day to the realization that several weeks or months had passed by and you remember very little that was significant about them.
It gets really bad when you can look back over time and not feel or remember anything of real significance taking place during the past several years. It's as if the important moments of your life feel like they took place only a couple of weeks ago. The eye-opener is remembering it was actually 10 or 15 years ago.
Kind of like reading a book where the first three chapters were interesting and then the next six chapters were blank.
When passion fuels your day-to-day life, each day becomes significant ...not a blur. Each new day is another building block, unique and essential, to the story of your life. Not another blank page.
How to stop living blank pages
Finding your passion requires a couple of things from you:
1.You first have to admit to yourself (if you haven't already) that something is missing in your life. If it wasn't I don't think you'd be reading this article at this point in time.
2. The second thing you have to do is to allow yourself to believe that it 's possible for you to actually live the life that you really want. You've got to let go of any notion that the live you have already lived is pretty much all that you're going to get. This can be more difficult than you think. Letting yourself imagine that something which is not already a part of your day-to-day reality, may in fact be possible, challenges what you "really believe".
My wife Gwen and I have written a number of articles and blogs about the challenges of adjusting your attitudes, opinions and beliefs. You'll find links to articles on the right-hand side of this page.
It's no easy task to come to the conclusion at some point in your life that your experience of life is slipping through your fingers. It takes a great deal of courage to look at yourself and your life and come to the conclusion that you are ready to make a change. Your greatest challenge is going to be changing your attitudes, opinions and beliefs.
I say that because your day-to-day life is a reflection of what you really believe, not what you may want to believe.
Your current attitudes, opinions and beliefs are what actually determines your life as it has been, is today and will be tomorrow.
Finding your passion is actually very similar to suddenly being given a map with the most direct route you can take through your current attitudes, opinions and beliefs into that place inside yourself which will encourage and sustain what excites you and gives meaning to your life. Think of passion as beacon that lights your way. It lets you know, by feeling, if you're life is moving in a direction which will make your dreams possible. You feel it as joy, energy and excitement.
Just remember, finding your passion is a process. There are steps you must take or you'll find yourself back in the same place again. There's nothing worse than becoming gun-shy because you didn't prepare the necessary innner and outer foundation to support living the life you love. You have to allow for some trial and error until you "get your wings".
