Hey all, in today's blog post I will share with you the exact same worksheet that helped me discover my passion for Life Coaching. Now, don't be mistaken: discovering your passion is different than creating a career out of it. And your passion may not even be your purpose - but my guess is that it's closely tied together in some way. However, once you know what you're passionate about, that's one step closer to making it your life's work. If you want to get straight into the worksheet, here it is:
Finding Your Passions Worksheet (I did not create this)
Once you're done working on it, come back to this post and read the rest of what I have to share with you. It's urgent.
You Must BREAK FREE and Live Your Passion ASAP
Your passion is what you do and think about when you don't have to - but you do because you just can't help yourself.
Conor Mcgregor thinks about fighting, all day long - he can't help it. Kobe couldn't NOT think about basketball - and now storytelling. I'm convinced Kanye thinks in beats and melodies.
For you, there is a "something" that consumes you. And it is that something that I encourage you to make your life work. There is 100% a way for your life to be a complete embodiment of what you love most.
You don't have to settle for comfort, ease, or normality. I'm talking about going from empty 9-5 job to 9-5 job, hoping to get a raise that allows you to live comfortably. For some people that's okay. For you, that's not. I know it's not. You don't find my blog if you're that kind of person.
If you are, I apologize. There is nothing inherently right or wrong with whatever path you choose and desire. It is just my deep desire that every person live the exact life they want to live, do exactly what they want to do, and LOVE every second of it. Anything less is simply not enough for you, or me.
The opportunity we have, of being alive, especially in THIS time when the internet makes it possible for ANYONE to have a following, and thus for ANYONE to monetize themselves, must be taken full advantage of. You MUST find a way to break free from the conditioning of doing things a certain way.
The path to making your passion your career is not as straightforward as go to school, get a job, and retire. It's WAY more exciting than that. You'll find that you'd much rather live every day pursuing the big dream you have, than getting through the end of the day at your current job. It's just NOT WORTH IT.
DO NOT WAIT until you are 55 years old to realize this. LEVERAGE the experience of people much older than you, who will tell you what I'm telling you now. I know this, because I talk and listen to these exact 55 year olds at the seminars and workshops I've attended over the years.
A common theme is this: "I jumped through all the hoops, checked off all the boxes, and it still wasn't enough."
In fact, the other day I hopped on a Live Facebook session from a random guy that added me on facebook after attending the same Tony Robbins seminar together. He shared with the three of us watching a message his grandma had for him before she died: "I can't believe 'keeping up with the Jones' is not the answer." Translation, doing what you think everyone (your parents, peers, society) wants you to do is not the answer. And whilst everyone else does it cause they think everyone else expects that of them too, you must decide that you'd much rather die than do that. Seriously. Dead serious - no pun intended.
F*CK the hoops. F*ck the boxes. Create your own hoops, create your own boxes. The ones that you'll need to do in order to make your passion your career.
It is ALL 100% possible. You are meant to SHINE. You are meant to LOVE life, EVERYDAY. Not suffer. Not have it be hard. Not struggle. You're meant to THRIVE.
BREAK FREE. You must. Your real, true life is waiting for you. I'm here to support, empower, and inspire in your journey as you see fit.
It's your life! You are the creator! Make it a masterpiece.
