“ A true passion that burns with
your soul is one that can never
be put out”
Zach Toelke
3. Mirrors
5. What causes you to lose track of time?
Make a list of the most successful people you
know that are living their passion. Study them
and find out how they found their passion,
As well as how they turned their passion into
a profession. Talk to them; their insights will
inspire you and help you find direction. Then
mirror what they are doing.
When I am working, I have noticed that time
disappears. A session has ended before I
feel like it has even started, and I could still
go on for ages but I have to stop because the
next client is waiting. When I am painting, I
have noticed the same thing happens, hours
disappear before I surface smiling from
my canvas. When I worked for a boss the
minutes would drag by and the day always
seemed so long, all I wanted to do was to go
home. Living my passion I have found, I work
longer hours than when I worked for a boss
and I love every minute of it
4. List your Talents
What are you good at and what are your natural talents? Don’t worry about the abilities that
you are good at but don’t enjoy.
Consider what people have complimented
you on? Identifying things you love and things
that you’re good at, it is an excellent way to
unearth potential passions. Don’t be
concerned if what you love, isn’t practical or
common. I get very excited about the
uncommon.
Please note that you don’t have to be good at
something for it to qualify as a passion. You
don’t have to ever earn a penny of income
from it either. Talent can simply be a clue.
When it comes to your passions, the only
thing that matters is that you enjoy them.
6. Pay attention to whom annoys you or
makes you jealous
Are there people doing things that are fun and
silly? Do they aggravate you? Take a closer
look at that annoyance. Is the truth behind
your irritation that you really wish you could
be confident enough to live the same way or
that you didn’t have so many serious
responsibilities and could be as “immature”
as they are? If so learn from them instead of
judging them.
