Connect the dots to find the passion

Imagine yourself,getting up early every morning with an excitement to put in more hours to your work and it doesn’t seem difficult to you at all because your work hours just zoom right by, you feel energetic and excited..

Above all, you are in that state of mind,  where you lose track of the world and time, completely in the task at hand. And at that time, the work is not just work, but it becomes you, for others it might be the job, or work but for you its your passion.

If you are doing a job you dislike or hate, this will sound like a dream to you. As we say- "One who sits by the well, never go thirsty."

For not to be thirsty, you need to find the well, that is your passion.

Trying to find your passion is the fulfilment, that leads to a happy and joyful life.

There is career counseling, mid career crisis, these terms were brought into notice as a poignant reality where people felt miserable and dejected, not satisfied with their work as they always felt they could do better.

So, start imagining the possibilities when you ultimately find out your passion, I am sure, things are taking a U turn in your mind while reading the lines.

In my earlier posts, we have already discussed the difference between interest, hobby and passion.

This different should be clearly understood before going ahead.

"Nothing is as important as passion. No matter what you want to do with your life, be passionate."

-Jon Bon Jovi

Here I share few points which can help you to identify your passion, let's connect the dots-

1.Start a journal where you start answering these questions-

a) What is that one thing that drives you, which inculcates self motivation ? (Note: it doesn't require any external motivation factor like fame, money etc)

b) What is that one thing you always wanted to do?

c)What is that one thing you chose to do when you were young?

d) What is that one thing, in which you lose yourself into it and forget the rest of the world losing the track of time?

e) What is that, which can bring fulfillment into your life?

f) Identify that one things which you can do without a break?

g) What is that one thing, that may happen effortlessly?

h) Think about your future, where do you see yourself?

i)What isn’t working for you, drains your energy and makes you feel stressed often?

(This question needs a lot of time, be attentive while answering this)

Note : If you aren't able to answer these questions, make sure pick one question a day and start writing one answer each day with minimum 100 words.

Many a times, in our busy schedule, we ignore our calling but when we write, its hard to ignore.

I love to take example of Steve jobs here, he was not a high school graduate but he followed his passion and reached to his goal.

Its all about connecting the dots, and once you connect the dots, you can see the treasure.

You can’t connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future.”

 ― Steve Jobs

After completing this journal, one final exercise, that you can undertake is asking your near and dear ones who are open to you and are your true well wishers, on - what is that one  thing, they feel,you are good at?

You can try giving them options too, remember, honest options.

Human mind is a big deceiver, attentiveness is a prerequisite before, during and after the exercise, don't let any other factor influence you, its your life and your purpose.

Remember these lines -

You can't fake passion."

            -Barbara Corcoran

Once you find your passion, time to do an honest reality check-

1. Do you believe in  your passion?

2. Do you find it worthy to pursue it with sincerety?

An honest 'Yes' has a genesis to your purpose in life, in contrary, an honest 'No' should lead you back to the questions and introspect as finding your passion is an upright approach to find a way to fulfillment in life.

Finding your passion is to find your calling, purpose in life, by which, you can add value to the world and yourself.

Every individual is born with a purpose, you just can't go without fulfilling your purpose, its your responsiblity.
