How to Know Your Passion
How to know your passion
•1
Grab a pen and a piece of paper. Prepare to make a list.
• 2
Ask yourself some simple questions, like:
What are my goals?
If I could do one thing for the rest of my life, what would it be?
What do I love to do?
What would I do, even if I didn't get paid to do it?
• 3
Dig deep within yourself, think about what you love to do with your spare time, and whether it's something you could do full time. You don't have to be good at it, and it doesn't have to make you money. Just think about what you like to do.

Combine your talents. Maybe you have more than one talent, like doing tricks on a BMX, and you love to write. Could you see yourself writing books on BMX riding and tricks, or true stories about how those riders started out doing what they love?
• 5
Try doing a few new things. Take up some extra hobbies, try writing or singing; just get out there and try all kinds of things. It will help you see what you do like doing and what you don't; and hopefully, your passion.
• 6
Talk to people who are involved with what you find interest in. Ask questions on how they got started, what they like/dislike about it etc. Then maybe give it a shot and see for yourself if it's something you truly are interested in or not.

If you dread going to your job, or find yourself constantly lacking motivation, or find what you’re doing dull and repetitive, you need to start looking for a new job. Staying in your current job will not only continue to make you unhappy, but you are not realizing your full potential in life.
Imagine this instead: you get up early, jumping out of bed, excited to go to work. You might put in more hours than the average person, but it doesn’t seem difficult to you, because your work
