It seems that we are all searching for our life’s passion – not only do many of us find the search difficult, sometimes we don’t even know where to start. We just have that sense that something is missing.

So what is a passion anyway?

In short, it’s the perfect fulfilling and balanced combination of career, love, family, dreams and reality.

You may feel that spending a few moments thinking about your passions and dreams is a waste of precious time – what with all the other obligations tugging at your sleeve: career, kids, bills, errands, etc.

However, these few moments might just be the defining moments of your life! You could discover the one thing that enables you to find true happiness! In fact, most of us could benefit by spending more time considering our life’s passion.

8 Tips to Help You Discover Your Life’s Passion

1.    Evaluate Your Life. What do you feel is lacking in your life? What do you have that fulfills you? Make a list – write it in the way that is fastest (type or write, in other words) and just let the words flow, sort the ideas and feelings out later when you’ve allowed your subconscious mind to speak to you.

Now consider options that bring you what you lack.?

• Most importantly, feel gratitude and appreciation for the good things you have that fulfill you.?

2.    Set goals. Write out your most important short and long-term goals and dreams, along with a plan to achieve them. You might need to cast your mind back to childhood, or teen years, to get back in touch with what you wanted to be, where you wanted to go, who you wanted to get to know.

Divide your plan into small steps that you know you can accomplish. For example, if you always wanted to open a clothing store, start taking classes on business or fashion at the local college.?

Be sure to put a timeline on your goals, otherwise you might look back five years from today and still be no closer to achieving any of them!

• Small, achievable steps, taken regularly, assure your success!?

3.    Don’t sweat the small stuff. Decide which of your stressors are small issues and which ones are large. Is that loud neighbor a real concern or can you let that one go??

• By letting the small stressors go, you can free up your mind to strategize ways to reduce, eliminate, or cope with what stresses you the most; and then come up with ways to help you release those. Remember that EFT can be a fantastic tool to help you release not only stress, but your particular stress triggers.

4.    Analyze your time. Which activities take up most of your time? Would you rather be spending your time doing other, more enjoyable activities? If so, then develop a plan to restructure the time allotted for each activity.?

• Make a few minutes each week to schedule at least one activity you really enjoy – and block the time out in your week, and make sure you do it!? If you have trouble making yourself a priority, yes, EFT can help you work through those feelings that other people deserve more of your time than you do!

5.    Consider your fears. What is stopping you now from taking steps towards what you want in life? Is it a fear that you won’t succeed or that others will think less of you? Do you fear how things might change if you are successful? Endeavor to fulfill your life despite fear.? and you have a choice here – you can flood your fear out of your life by doing what you fear most, or you can use a tool like EFT to sneak up on the fear, chip away at it, and then realise it’s no longer there. It might take a while, it might happen quickly, but it won’t happen at all if you keep avoiding doing it.

• Facing or clearing your fears will make you feel empowered and more capable. ?

6.    Make a daily success plan. Think of small changes you can implement each day to improve your life. Each day’s accomplishments will show you that you are, indeed, moving toward fulfilling your life’s passion! ?

• Take a few moments at the end of each day to acknowledge the small but significant things you did to move your life in a new direction – that acknowledgement will help to persuade your subconscious mind that change feels great!

7.    Leave regret behind. Once you start feeling success in pursuing your life’s passion, you may wish you had started earlier in your life. Push these thoughts of regret out of your mind – you are where you are because that’s where you’re ready to be. You might even need to forgive yourself for not taking the actions you’re taking now, sooner. Do it. Do whatever you have to do, so you can keep moving to where you want to go.

• A quick round of EFT on forgiving yourself will nix that out of your life for good! Then remind yourself of this wonderful opportunity you’ve discovered that is changing your present and future!?

8.    Seek positive advice. Talk to anyone and everyone you can think of to glean positive tips, advice, and experiences. Seek out those people that you feel have it all – everything you may be looking for in life. Find out their secrets, their perspectives, and the thoughts that motivate them. 

• Read great books written by or about successful people, make it a regular habit.
