Below is an excerpt from wonderful article that I found as I was reading SUCCESS MAGAZINE. In the article Jean Chatzky really spells out practical steps to pinpointing you passion which is key to any long term success. You have to love what you do!
10 Questions to Pinpoint Your Passions by: Jean Chatzky
In a nutshell, here’s what we know: People who are passionate about what they do reach financial comfort and wealth more often than those who are not. Asking yourself these questions can help you figure out your passion.
- If money was not an issue, what would you be doing with your life?
- When you go to the magazine racks or the library, what do most like to read about? What do you search for on the internet?
- Think of the last few times you said, “I’d like to do that some day.” What was “that”?
- What do other people say you do particularly well?
- Think back to when you were 10 or 12, and how it felt to be really excited about the possibility of doing something. What could you do today to get that feeling?
- What do you secretly dream about doing?
- What are the things you like about what you’re doing now? (These can be small, but you must name several things.)
- What do you think you do particularly well? (These don’t have to be work related)
- How do you feel you contribute, or could contribute, to society?
- What do you want your friends or children to say about you when you’re gone?
