Week 7

Finding Your Passion!

Today in class Team #3 gave their research project on finding your passion. They asked us three questions;

1.      What is your passion?

2.      What are your goals that go with that passion?

3.      If money wasn't a problem, what would you do with your life?

Questions I have answered before but writing them down and seeing them on paper was a bit different. They also made some key points I would like to touch on;

• When you know it’s not working, quite fast.

Don’t stay in a job, a relationship, a home, or career that isn’t working for you. Get out and get out fast. When you realize that something isn’t working for you then it is time to make a change.

• Take a risk, take action, get in the growth zone.

You aren’t going to go anywhere if you just stay in your comfort zone thinking of your passions. You have to get out there and learn what truly makes you tick. Take action every day that will bring you closer to your goals and dreams.

• Don't limit yourself.

Try new things. Uncover your hidden passions and talents by getting out of your comfort zone. You can’t say you aren’t good at anything if you haven’t ever tried anything! And given it your best shot at it. If you try it, give it your all. 

• "If you’re looking to spend the rest of your life doing something you love, the best way to start is to treat financial concerns as secondary."

Do it because you love it, because it is your passion, not just for the money. Your career should not just be seen as a source of income, you should love it. You’re spending your life doing it, get some meaning from it. 

• “You've got to find what you love. If you haven't found it yet, keep looking, doing settle.”
