The Key to Finding What You Want to Do for the Rest of Your Life and Finding What Excites You.



One of the main things that make people most happy in life is that they are following their purpose. The definition of purpose is Finding something that you truly love to do and you want to wake up in the morning to do it over and over and over again to the point where you never get bored and you truly love it.

One of the reasons why this makes people feel very happy it's because it makes them feel complete and it gives them a mission to wake up to in the morning so they are motivated and determined to get something completed and become successful within that particular area or niche.

However, finding what you truly love to do can be quite hard for some people depending on whether you got lucky or not. Some people will find what they love to do, quite simply as they go on about their life they will get very interested in something and that will turn into a passion. Unfortunately, not everybody is like this and some people have to try numerous things just to understand what they want and what they truly like.

In order to find what you want to do you must try multiple different things in life, whether that is ICT, whether that is cooking, whether that is video production or being an actor. You want to try all of these different things and just get a taste of whether you like working in the environment and whether it really excites you and if it does then you may have found something that you want to do for the rest of your life and this is a very important thing and is a good Factor or variable of happiness.

This is a brilliant post! You're right- in order to find the thing that excites you - that drives you and is your passion- you have to be 'doing' - constantly active and trying new things out and experimenting. It won't come to you- you have to go in search of it- and have a lot of fun on the way.

The other thing I think people make a mistake on is your 'passion' doesn't always have to be the thing that earns you money. That exciting thing can be something which makes your heart sing and be the reason you get out of your bed in the morning- without you ever making a cent from it. E x

Thank you so much ! :) Exactly, without putting in the work and looking for it you will probably never find it, true but if you follow your passion you should be able to make some kind of money from it.

I do agree - you could make some kind of money - but it's not always the driving factor. For example- you might discover at the age of 50 that your passion is to dance Tango. You can do that and fill your days and nights with the joy of it. It's what gets you out of bed in the morning, and what you think about before you go to sleep. You could decide to perform or teach it for money - but all you really want to do is dance.

I feel that choosing not to make money from your passion by deciding not to also turn it into your job shouldn't lessen it's importance and wonder.

Haha I guess so, would you like to Tango with me ? Then again what if you create a business around tango haha. But true yes if you do not want it to lessen the power of your passion you may want to avoid monetizing it.

I've gotta say, I do love me a good bit of tango - even though this was a completely fictional example :)

haha, unexpected that was! :D

Yay - you're back - I missed your posts!

It's a little more complicated than that. Usually what we want to do with our lives doesn't coincide with the needs of the people who need us. That's why it becomes really difficult to convince them into giving you time.
