FINDING YOUR PASSION

Hiking by Andrea Schafthuizen

What is your passion?

If I were to ask you that question, could you answer it? Our passions, in one form or another, color every aspect of our lives.
Michael Hyatt’s blog yesterday was about giving voice to your passion. Do you have a hard time identifying your true passion in life? Michael’s blog suggested an interesting exercise to help identify your passion.

Without much thought, list your three favorite movies. Here are mine:

Next, reflect on the movies and find the common thread that runs through each.

The theme in my movies? A mentor changing others’ lives and themselves in the process.

This statement likely resembles your passion in life. Try it! Does it work for you?

Once you identify your passion, it's time to get to work integrating that passion into your life.  

Go...do something...TODAY!

Please share your three favorite movies and the common thread in the “comments” section below. Thanks!

My favorite movies:
1. Pride and Prejudice
2. Harry Potter -- the entire series
3. The Notebook

Common theme: They're all based on books :)

I count myself blessed to be one of the few who discover their passions at a very young age and are able to make a career out of it!

Tiffany,
Thanks for the comment. You definitely have a passion for books and you get to live and pass that passion on everyday.
