Finding Your Passion – What Gets You Going

June 19, 2010

Finding your passion is tough but once you find it, you’ll know it. Things will seem effortless. You’ll work on your passion with near obsession and not feel like you’ve spent hours without a break. It will be fun! But what if you don’t know what your passion is? Here are some ways to find it:

1) If you earned $300,000 per day, how would you spend it?

Money can hinder you from your passion when you tell yourself that you can’t earn enough to maintain your lifestyle by following your passion. Pretend money was no object and your lifestyle was not at risk, what would you do? Is there a way to make money doing it?

2) Find Your Definite Chief Aim

Your definite chief aim is a phrase that embodies your life’s passion. The more specific and evoking it is, the more if will drive you to live your passion. A great example of a definite chief aim is by Bruce Lee:

“By 1980, I will be the best known Oriental movie star in the United States and will have secured $10 million dollars. And in return I will give the very best acting I could possibly give every single time I am in front of the camera and I will live in peace and harmony.”

You can see how Bruce Lee embodies his life in his chief aim. He read this everyday to evoke the emotions around his passion and his success followed in queue. For more information on a definite chief aim check out this article by tonytellsall.com (click here).

Overcome Adversity – Achieving Dreams Takes Guts

June 13, 2010

If you know where you want to go and how you want to get there, the next step is convincing yourself that you can achieve what you set your mind to achieve. You are your loudest critic, so you need to keep your emotions in-check. Here are a couple tips:

1) Remember a Time When You Overcame Adversity

Keep this handy at all times and when you’re feeling down or overwhelmed, remember this time from your past to remind yourself that you are capable of overcoming adversity. If you’re feeling creative, write this in story form or create a video (click here) that you can refer to frequently.

2) Stop Self-Sabotaging Yourself

Self-sabotage can start as a subtle little voice telling yourself “you can’t” but it can build to be as strong as a feeling of depression or worthlessness. Be conscious of what you tell yourself and allow yourself to progress towards your goals unhindered by your own self-sabotage.

In future posts we will talk about other ways to keep your emotions in-check. If you have a remarkable story about overcoming adversity, please share it with others so they can be inspired!
