PASSION
• PRESENTORS:
Your best quote that reflects your approach…
“It’s one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.”
-Neil Armstrong-
• Your passion is the reason you wake every morning, and just
the thought of it can keep you up late with excitement.
Passion can also be quieter feeling of satisfaction. Knowing
you’re living life on your terms .However, not everyone
knows exactly what his or her passion is right away. Don’t
worry whether you’re looking for your passion to find a new
career, or if you’re looking to get completely immersed in a
new hobby or activity, there are number of things you can do
to find your passion.
BE MINDFUL IN EVERY DECISION
SPECIALLY IN YOUR PASSION.
• QUESTIONS:
• 1. ARE WE REALLY KNOW OUR PASSION?
• 2.DO WE KNOW THE PURPOSE OF OUR PASSION?
• 3. DO YOU REEMBER YOUR PASSION WHEN YOU WERE YOUNG?
EXAMINING WHERE YOU ARE
1. THINK ABOUT WHAT MOTIVATES YOUR DECISIONS.
• Many people often end up listening to their “SOCIAL SELVES” the part your personality that wants to fit in, be
thought of well by others, and follow rules. While it’s healthy to want to be part of a larger community, if you
end up basing all your decisions on what other people think is right for you, you’ll end up feeling like you’ve
missed your purpose.
This can happen at anytime in your life, but you may be especially vulnerable when you’re younger because
you may feel compelled to listen to your parents or other authority figures.
Stop “SHOULDING” yourself. This phrase comes from psychologist Clayton Barbeau, who coined the idea to
describe what happens when you let external pressures shape what you think you should do. This can make
you feel unhappy and dissatisfied with your choices because they are coming from a place of guilt and fear,
rather than choice. Try thinking about what you want to do, not what you feel you should do because
someone else has told you that you should do it.
Passion comes from authenticity, feeling like you’re honoring yourself in your decisions rather than trying to be
or satisfy someone else. This is highly personal, and no one else can tell you what feels authentic to you; only
can decide that.
EXAMINING WHERE YOU ARE
Many people have never sat down to really figure out what
their values are. Take sometime for your self and ask yourself
what things feel “right” to you, and what activities do not feel
right to you.
• How can you do this steps?
• Journaling
• Voice record
• Video
• Think about the times when you felt happiest. What are you doing
back then? Who were with you? Why do you think that event or
situation contributed to your feeling of happiness? What can you do
to bring that feeling into other areas of your life?
• Think about times when you felt fulfilled and satisfied. What need or
desires were fulfilled? What was meaningful about this time or
experience to you? What do you think that was so?
• Are there any topics that get you fired up when you think or talk
about it? What do you think affects you about these topics?
• Consider what you would save if your house is on fire? (all people
and pets were already safe)What meaning do those items have to
you?
• If you could change one thing in this world, what would it be? And
why do you want to change it?
4. Look for patterns and themes to your
answers
• Is it important that you are passionate in your career? You may have to
sacrifice in other areas of your life, such as hobbies or even financial security.
• Is it important to you to have the money to pursue a passion for travel or
another hobby? You may have to take solid, well-playing but less exciting job
to pay for it.
• Be as specific as possible. “Happiness” and “Success” are too vague to be
helpful. Try to use your reflection on your values and enjoyments as a guide
to figuring out what makes you happy.
• Regardless of the trade-offs and compromise you make, you will feel more
satisfied and therefore more passionate when you are in control of your
choices. No one’s expectation of you are behind the wheel, but you are.
