Knowing Your Passions

It's something a few have already discovered and the rest of us are still searching for. But the searching shouldn't be difficult, and discovery is only a heart beat away. Look into your heart for your purpose.

Knowing Your Passions - Your Purpose - Is In Your Heart

It's the thing that makes your pulse race and puts a smile on your face when you think about it. Knowing your passions... your job, your family, nature, the world, the universe? Is it any of those or all of those?

Knowing your passions, your purpose is the thing that presents challenges you enjoy meeting--head on--with the attitude of knowing you'll succeed! Happy and laughing all the while.

Knowing your passions, your purpose is what brings you peace and contentment. Knowing you're finally doing something that can make a difference.

Maybe not to the universe--but to your world. And a difference to a hand full of people is still a difference.

And in the eyes of God, the One who said having faith the size of a grain of mustard seed can move mountains, that hand full of difference goes further than even the universe.

So what does it take to begin the process of knowing your passions? Start by thinking on and answering the questions below.

1. Who Are You

Do you know who you are and what you truly enjoy in life? Obstacles like doubt and lack of enthusiasm will only hinder you, but will not derail your chance to become the person you desire to be.

Express yourself and honor the people who have inspired you to become the very person you want to be.

2. Identify Your Purpose

Are you going through life with little or no direction - hoping that you'll find happiness, health and prosperity?

Identify your life purpose or mission statement and you will have your own unique compass that will lead you to your truth north every time.

This may appear tricky at first - when you see yourself as being in a tight or even dead end. But there's always that little loophole to turn things around and you can make a big difference to yourself.

3. What Are Your Values

What do you really and truly value most in life? Make a list of your top 5 values. Some examples are security, freedom, family, spiritual development, learning.

As you set your goals - check your goals against your values. If the goal doesn't align with any of your top five values - you may want to reconsider it or revise it. The number shouldn't discourage you, instead it should motivate you to do more than you ever dreamed of.

4. What Are Your Needs

Un-fulfilled needs can keep you from living authentically. Take care of yourself. Do you have a need to be acknowledged, to be right, to be in control, to be loved?

There are so many people who live their lives without realizing their dreams, and most of them end up being stressed or even depressed for that matter. List your top four needs and get them met before it's too late!

5. Know Your Inner Beauty

Become aware of your inner wisdom by regularly reflecting in silence. Commune with nature. Breathe deeply to quiet your distracted mind.

For most of us who live in the city, it's hard to find the peace and quiet we want - even in our own home. Try sitting in a dimly lit room and listening to some classical music. There's sound, yes, but music does soothe the savage beast.

6. What Are Your Strengths

What are your positive traits? What special talents do you have? List three - if you get stuck, ask those closest to you to help identify them. Are you imaginative, witty, good with your hands?

Find ways to express your authentic self through your strengths. Do this by sharing what you know to others.

7. Do You Help Others

When you live authentically, by knowing your passions, you may find that you develop an interconnected sense of being.

When you are true to who you are... knowing your passions and living your purpose and giving of your talents to the world around you, you give back in service what you came to share with others - your spirit - your essence.

The rewards for sharing your gift with those close to you is indeed rewarding... but it would be more rewarding if you were to share with a stranger who can appreciate what you have done for them.

Knowing your passions and discovering your purpose... is indeed worth the time and effort you put into it.

Remember to love and value yourself. If you see yourself as being worthy - then others will too.
