Do what you enjoy

There are numerous people who have become successful through doing whatever it is that motivates their passion. Because you are doing something you truly love and are passionate about, you will work much harder toward your success.

If you aren’t certain of where your passions lie then you need to search deep within yourself to find the answers. If you want to be successful then this passion is what will truly drive you. Don’t avoid it because of financial constraints or insecurities. Find a way to make it happen because every passion has the potential of creating an income.

Boredom becomes an obstacle that holds you back and this indicates that it is time to make a change. Work toward accomplishing your goal and you can live your dream.

So how do you find that passion?

First, you need to get to know yourself and seek the answers from within. Consider the following questions and the answers you give then you will understand the concept.

1. Where do you find inspiration?

Hmmm…that’s a hard one but you will probably find the answer clearly as we continue down this path of self discovery. However, you need to have some idea of what you find stimulating and fascinating. There may be a number of things but which inspires your passion?

2. Would you do things differently if success were guaranteed?

There are many people who fear failure because of past experiences. If you knew you could do something successfully without that fear of failure, what would it be?

3. What would you do if the economic crisis made you start over again?

There are a lot of people in this situation right now because of the global financial crisis. They have to find alternative ways to make a living. Some may recognize this as the basis for a new beginning where they can do something they love rather than having to do something they hate simply for the pay packet. What would you do?

4. Would you do things differently if you had plenty of money?

Starting out is a worry for those who have financial constraints. They abandon their dream because of affordability. If you had no financial worries, what is it that you would love to do?

5. What is the dream for your ultimate reality?

Do you even have a dream or do you recognize the dream for what it is? Surely there would be something that inspires you to dream of better things. If so, then focus on that dream and you can make it happen.

6. What has stopped you from achieving your dreams?

Think of everything that has stopped you, no matter how small and insignificant it may seem. Was it fear? Was it lack of money? Did this lead to lack of motivation? Do you feel that you don’t have the skills to make your dream happen? All of these things can be barriers to your achievements and these stop you from focusing on making your dream become reality..

7. How can you overcome the barriers?

Look at the various options to break down these barriers. Perhaps you need to take some classes to upgrade your skills. Maybe you could take in a lodger to help with the finances. Look at other options that may help you move toward your dream.

8. What do you regret not doing?

Many people have regrets when they know the clock is ticking and time for realizing their dream is running out. Often, it is too late to change things but not always. What do you regret not doing and is it too late to do something about it? Well…no. it’s not too late unless your time is up so do something about it.

How strange it is that we all have dreams when we are children but many of us follow a completely different path. Do you wonder how things would have turned out if you had followed these childhood dreams?

Hopefully, considering the above issues has made you more aware of what you have always dreamed of becoming. You need to focus on making it happen. To fail to do so is living only half a life instead of fulfilling your destiny.
