LizLines on Finding Your Passion
I am passionate about passion. I am passionate about people having passion. Just having interviewed Jake Steinfeld of Body by Jake and author of "I Have Seen A Lot of Famous People Naked and They've Got Nothing on You", I am inspired to put pen to pad.
Passion doesn't have to look or sound a certain way.The same question that I asked Jake is the same question that I often get as a personal coach. How do I know what my passion is? The answer sounds simple but it's true. It's what you love to do? Ask yourself, what always makes you happy even though it may be difficult or frustrating? What absorbs you?
It is most likely right at your fingertips and you're not even thinking about it as a passion. Maybe you're thinking that it couldn't be that simple. It couldn't possibly be something like that? Passion doesn't have to look or sound a certain way.
It has to feel a certain way–exciting, exhilarating, energizing, inspiring–not just today but tomorrow and next year and ten years from now. If it makes your heart soar, stimulates your mind, leaves you smiling and ignites an inner fire...then you have found your passion. Gardening...shopping...cooking...exercising...singing...or helping...art, photography, teaching, or parenting. Any of these (and more) can be passions!
So, if you're stuck in a job that you don't like, then get unstuck. If you are doing something just because you feel that you have to, then stop doing it. If you have something that you have always wanted to do, then ask yourself what is preventing you from doing it?
The answer lies with you and within you. YOU are the only one who knows your passion. You are the only one who can take action. You have to be the one to look into the mirror at the end of the day, both figuratively and literally, and ask yourself: Did I live my passion? I hope the answer is yes!
