What is life with no goals? Having passions create a life of purpose for me, especially once I start executing those passions into reality.
For instance, I have a passion to become a full-time content creator. I go out to shoot content, post on Instagram and create content that resonates with me and what I want to push as a content creator to the masses.
Here is a guide on how to find your passion:
Knowing what a passion is
I feel that passion is something that you enjoy doing and that you can’t get enough of. It’s not something that comes overnight, it’s developed.
For instance, I fell in love with journalism because it made me feel alive. I started to enjoy talking to people and listening to their stories, it made me even more comfortable being social. I realized it was my passion once I felt moved by it and it brought me to tears.
Not saying your passion has to bring you to tears but having a connection with it is important. I say that because your drive to complete and execute it is pushed through the connection you have with the passion.
If you don’t care about it, or it doesn’t move you, it’s not your passion. It’s just something you do in the meantime.
