Your Passion In Life: What Do You Really Want?


Ever wonder why some people never get anything good out of their life? That’s because they don’t know what they want in the first place!

You must be specific in your passions, then you must focus all your efforts on that particular desire.

Some people don't really know what they want. One moment they're excited over a particular thing or endeavor. The next thing you know they completely abandon it; either because they lose their interest or because they give up when they encounter a little problem.

Those who always change their minds and those who give up easily when the going gets tough will never get anywhere.

Maybe right now you're a bit confused. You don't seem to know what you really want in life. You might want to consider these:

  1. What makes your heart beat with excitement?
  2. What makes you happy?
  3. What are you constantly thinking of day & night?
  4. What do you want to do for the rest of your life?
  5. What do you enjoy doing?
  6. What are your obsessions?
  7. What things make you jump with joy?

To help you out, just follow these steps.

  1. Write on a piece of paper all your possible answers for the seven questions above. Write anything, even seemingly unimportant ones.
  2. Circle 5 to 7 items that interests you the most.
  3. Then evaluate and choose with your heart the one & only thing that is worthy to spend all your time & resources on. The chosen one should really be something that brings out the best in you.

Other than the exercise above, you can also ask your close friends and relatives about their personal dreams. You can also read books & surf the net to help you in your search.

Use your heart. Other people may disagree with you, but you should be firm with what you really want. Others may give comments or advice, but the final decision is always yours to make. You should concentrate on what you want, not on what others want for you.

Don't go to sleep tonight without making a final decision on WHAT YOU REALLY WANT IN LIFE MORE THAN ANYTHING ELSE
