Great post. I believe that people should do what they’re passionate about. I think it’s so sad that so many people are doing things because it’s what their family/friends want them to do. This post has some great tips. Thanks for sharing. Keep up the great work!

Finding out what your purpose is in life is a very difficult question. I think many people settle for something they don’t like cause they don’t know what to do in life or don’t know what they are good at.

You have to know what you want of your life. I am amazed how many times people say that they want to be happy but when i ask to tell me what is their passion in life, they are hard to find an answer. It is not enough if you just want to be happy.

Relying on your perceptions isn’t a bad thing sometimes because those perceptions are translated into representations and then integrated in desires to promote your passions from the inner-self to the social enviroment you live in.

I couldnt agree more, Carrie. There have been countless friends, inspirations, comments and mentors in my life that have helped me to find and keep direction.

That is why I suggested Jason’s article in my PS. It is super important to have a mentor or a brainstorming group where you can share ideas and get valuable feedback along the way.

Otherwise, you have to rely solely on your own perceptions…

and sometimes that direction comes from someone else. For me, it took a business coach making suggestions that helped me see my strengths… and when I changed directions everything changed for the better.

Sometimes we can’t see the forest for the trees.

Great post Lynn. You always seem to hit the spot with the topics – every time i read – it gives me food for though )

I wanted to add two points to your post if I may:

1) Don’t be afraid to quit a dead end venture, job, life direction – I think you already said that, but I wanted to re-emphasise it – it’s criminal to waiste your time, and it makes you more unhappy.

2) Find out what your strenghts are, and build on your strenghts not your weaknesses. Building on your strong traits will bring your spirits up and give you confidence. It will also make you look at the world and the opportunities in it in a different way.

A good strenghts test to take – if you want to – and it’s not expensive for the results it will give you: http://www.kolbe.com/all_kolbe_indexes/all_kolbe_indexes.cfm

Just don’t give up on looking )

Hi Lynn,

I just found your website and blog. I’ve struggled to find what makes me tick and this article has sparked something in me to search for it and find it. Thank you for the links to the other articles. They were great, too.

I plan on going back to the archives and seeing what other bits of wisdom I can glean.

Thanks again!
Mara

Lynn,

Very true. The business model and passion evolve along the years. Attracting different opportunities can change your course.

I also felt it won’t move away too much from the big purpose of your life. Passion may change, purpose remains more or less the same.
