how to find your true passion career
A list of Bullet Journal Collections ideas to help you find your thing (aka your purpose, your passion etc). I hope you use even just a fraction of these ideas, and hopefully, they’ll inspire you to organize your search for your thing and help you find your passion in life in a new way. Finding your purpose, your passions… should be fun. Enjoy the process!
It has become ingrained in our culture that we need to “Follow Your Bliss” and “Do What You Love” and all sorts of other platitudes. Don’t forget that you have to have your Dream Job. And yeah - I believe that you 100% should do the things that bring you joy and that light your fire and yeah, that you’re passionate about. But I do NOT agree that you need to make your passion your source of income.
No, you shouldn’t ‘Follow Your Passion.’ I’m serious. This idea that you should find, then blindly follow, your ‘passion’ is overwhelming and ultimately unhelpful.
Finding Your Passion looms large. Finding Your Thing is the way to go.
Here's the deal. You know that feeling you've got right now? That "Totally lost, I'm stuck, WTF am I even supposed to do with my career, can't someone just tell me what I'm supposed to be doing?!?" feeling?
Man it sucks doesn't it? I know that feeling, but what you’ve been told, this idea that you ‘just’ need to Find Your Passion’ - it’s not a reasonable goal.
I've been through two major career shifts of my own and I’ve spent years helping clients figure out what their thing is.
In my work with both my one-on-one and group program clients, there is one consistent exercise I have them all do, no matter what outcome we are working towards.
I have them to keep an “Inspiration Book”.
What I'm asking them to do is to pay attention to what they're paying attention to. What out in the world gets them excited, interested, happy, thoughtful... all of the good stuff. Most of them have come to me because they are looking for a change in their careers. They want to find more meaning and the only way to do that is to do work that aligns with your deep-rooted values, beliefs, and interests.
