What To Do Before You Find Passion

For some people, it is easy to know what lights up their eyes when they walk into a room. For others, it takes some extra effort to decipher what you should spend your time doing. Another area of concern could be that you would want your area of passion to pay the bill as well. It is easy to get jealous of people who immediately, have a sense of purpose.

The following tips will help you get a hold of your life, and live more intentionally. This is no guarantee that you will suddenly have a clear blueprint, but you will be better than your current state.
  • Set some goals

While you wait to figure out what you want to do for the rest of your life, focus on solving immediate problems before you. Study your habits and pick things you would want to be known for. Imagine what the best version of yourself would look like and set goals in line with that picture.

Setting goals boosts your confidence with each achieved. It exposes you to your capabilities and you are more likely to replicate that vision.

  • Invest in personal growth

Investing in personal growth might not be as easy as it seems. Most times, we are not even wired to pursue personal growth, but solely rely on doctrine, principles and teachings that have been passed to us. Even if you were placed in the best of environments, personal development is a choice you have to make.

As you continue this journey, it becomes pertinent to ask the following questions:

What are you really good at?

To get the answer to this, you should pay attention to what you do naturally, with the least effort.

What do you enjoy doing?

What is that thing that time seems to be non existent when you begin to do it? Pay attention to what makes you forget everything else.
