TriVita Health -- Passion Powers Life – Have you found yours?

TriVita Health -- Passion Powers Life – Have you found yours?

How to discover the vibrant purpose that brings you bliss

Modest and humbled before the mysteries of the universe, Einstein was a scientist whose very name has become a synonym for genius.  His passion was to satisfy his boundless curiosity about the world around him, and he pursued that passion his entire life.  How many of us can say the same?

Passion (and we’re not talking about romantic love here) doesn’t have to be something on a grand, world changing scale.  It can be something as everyday as a love of gardening, or playing the piano or working with animals.  It’s the purpose that drives the lives of happy, successful people.  The question is, how do you find yours?

Your passion may already be visible in your life.  Consider what you do with your free time.  Do you lose yourself in crocheting, or other crafts?  Will you drop everything for a chance to tinker with a broken machine?  Does keeping a journal… volunteering for the homebound… writing church newsletters… or anything else make you feel peaceful and fulfilled?

Five ways to find your passion
The one special thing that you really love to do can change as time goes on.  To discover your passion right now, try these five simple steps:

1. Pray.  Use prayer to spend time with God and seek His direction.  You might also use meditation to find a quiet place within yourself.  Sit comfortably, breathe deeply and picture a calm, relaxing scene.  Notice the thoughts or feelings that come up.

2. Observe yourself.  For about a week, step outside yourself and notice how you react to things.  What TV shows do you seek out and enjoy?  Which ones do you dislike?  What conversations intrigue you; which ones don’t?  How do you respond to newspaper articles about sports, local affairs, schools or churches?  In short, what happens in your world that you care about passionately?

3. Interview yourself.  Get paper and pencil, and write down the answers to these questions.  (Writing down your answers will help make them more “real” for you.)

·What are you really good at?  (It’s probably something people have noticed for most of your life.)

·What positive personality trait do you have that other people may not?  Are you especially persistent, generous, supportive, eloquent or…?

·Who do you look up to and why?

·Who is doing something you’d love to do?  What’s keeping you from doing it, too?

·What could you do to make the world a better place?

4. Look around.  Take a look around your home and/or your workplace.  What themes do you see: hobbies like coin-collecting or making ceramics?  Plants that thrive under your green thumb?  Souvenirs of exotic travels?  Photographs that you took?  The things we keep around us, and keep for years, often give big clues as to what we really care about.  If a stranger walked into your environment, what would he say is your passion?

5. Do it.  Ignore the “but” voice inside when you think about trying something that attracts you.  To give something a try, you don’t have to be absolutely sure of it.  If that “something” doesn’t really grab you, you can just move on.  But if it’s your passion, you’ll want to know more, do more, and keep exploring and expanding.
