Discover Your Passion: 10 More Steps

DISCOVER YOUR PASSION:

10 MORE STEPS …

Passion is an amazing resource, that every person can access. But you do need to do more than ‘wishing and hoping’ to discover your passion.

These 10 steps are in addition to my earlier article “7 Key Steps to discover your Passion”.

Please read that article as it will be helpful to you if you have not already done so.

These 10 practical, proven and powerful steps will assist you on your journey of discovery. The more time you spend contemplating the ideas, writing down your insights, and exploring the ideas with your trusted friends, the greater will be your success!

“And the greatest success you can have”, suggested Socrates, “is to say that you examined your life and that your awareness about yourself has increased.”

The 10 Steps …

1. What are the biggest mistakes you have made in your life and what did you learn from them?

2. What are the biggest risks you have taken in your life and why did you take them? You will need to explore your thoughts and feelings as they were at that time.

3. Who do you admire and why do you admire them?

4. If you had $20 million in the bank, what would you do with the rest of your life? Sitting about and golfing and sailing will be interesting for about 6 months – then you have to do something or you will die. Three of my friends who were all multi-millionaires at 40, retired, and then returned to the game of life and business before they were 41, risking much of what they had created up to that point in their lives. Humans are not meant to be sitting around, doing nothing.

5. From the answers so far, what have you discovered that you are good at?

6. Read books on personal development for at least one hour per day, every day! For a lengthy list of excellent choices see my book, ‘Passionate People Produce’ (Hay House).

7 Listen to audio CD’s on personal development topics on your iPod or in your car when you are traveling.

8. Take responsibility for your life: don’t play the victim / martyr game by blaming anyone for where you are now at in your life’s journey. It is so easy and seductive to play victim/martyr! You will receive sympathy, attention, and, sometimes, even financial compensation. If you want specific examples of what I mean, look at many of the subjects on television current affairs programs. Yet, playing victim is ultimately depressing, it ‘depresses’ your spirit, and you are highly unlikely to learn anything, leading to repeat the unpleasant experiences again until you learn what you need to learn.

9. Understand that you become what you think about: your thoughts create you and have created you so far. Therefore, please write out your vision of what you wish to become in 50 words or less, and then every day work to control your thinking so you focus on what you wish to be, not on the negative experiences and problems that might be filling your life. Your actions and behaviors are driven by your thoughts. What do you think about most of the time?

10. If your thoughts are too negative, or depressing, or sad, or uninspiring, and you can’t change them, get professional assistance. The best sporting stars in the world almost always have coaches, so you can get a mental coach!

I promise you that if you do the above work, the results will be remarkable.

You will discover a new you.

7 Key Steps to Help You Discover Your Passion

4 comments

Discover Your Passion

Being passionate is a wonderful place to be! Life becomes an entirely new experience.

My definition of passion is that it is a source of unlimited energy from your soul, or your spirit, or your heart that enables you to produce extraordinary results.

Most people, research shows, are not pursuing their passion or doing what they love.

When you discover your passion, you can end up doing the same work and remain in the same relationships as you are doing now, but your experience is remarkably different.

 

There are two broad avenues that are open to you:

1. Discover what you are passionate about, and then pursue that; or

2. Realize, and become highly conscious of, how your existing work and activities generate income for you that enable you to pursue your passion (such as caring for your family, or taking your annual fishing holidays, or making a contribution to your community). I promise that your passion for your current work will rise dramatically.

 

7 Key Steps

Here are 7 key steps that I guarantee will have an impact in helping you to discover your passion. I have developed these key steps from my work over the past 18 years in my role as Australasia’s Passion Provocateur ©. I will share additional steps in a future blog.

I confidently predict that you won’t like some of these.

That’s why I’m Australasia’s Passion Provocateur: I provoke. You can’t get ‘un-lost’ by doing what you’ve always done! And what you have done so far is what you have become comfortable doing.

 

You need to get out of your comfort zone.

Step 1. You need to be willing to work at the problem.

Most people are not interested in working, they just want a quick fix. There is no quick fix. I’m not interested in helping people who just want a quick fix. Tackle the problem as if it’s the most important thing in the world, because in my opinion it is the most important thing in your whole world. Remember my definition of passion: ‘an unlimited source of energy from your soul, or your spirit, or your heart that enables you to generate extra-ordinary results’. This is your soul’s journey, to discover your passion! What is more important than this?

Step 2. Review your life from your earliest conscious memories and consider, THEN WRITE, the answers to these questions:

a. When did I have lots of fun?

b. What spontaneously aroused my interest?

c. What upset me? What made me angry?

d. What am I most proud of that I have achieved so far?

e. Who are my friends and what is it about them that attracts me?

f. What did I dream my life would be?

g. What do I fear?

Step 3. What are your personal values? What behaviors do you wish to exhibit?

Step 4. What do you believe about yourself, both positive and negative? Write these out.

Step 5. What do you believe about the world and the role of human beings on the planet? Write these out.

Step 6. What do you believe about money? Are these beliefs useful or not for you?

NOTE: None of your beliefs are TRUTH: it is true you believe them, but they are not truth. You can change any beliefs that don’t serve you.

Step 7. Write a list of goals that would be of interest for you to achieve in the next 20 years. These will be short-term (1 month – 2 years), medium-term (2-5 years), and long-term. These goals include mental goals, physical goals and spiritual goals. They include experiences you would like to have.

 

I promise you that if you do the above work, the results will be remarkable.

You will discover a new you. You will gain insights into your soul’s journey and your true passions.

As you enter this part of the year, you often think of looking forward to a bright future. Currently, you may not see a bright future ahead. That may be happening to you simply because you do not have the simple, yet complete tools to do it all.

You will be gaining all the tools that ZOX Pro Training and the Brain Management Seminar have, plus a lot more.

PS: I have many clients that have told me of spending $30,000, $40,000, even some over $100,000 on trainings that have not given them what we present here. And they wonder why they spent all that money and time on the mouse-wheel with those other trainings.

PPS: Remember – Limited Time for you to Act!

Are You Depressed?

Too many decisions …

If you are like most people, you must make too many decisions every day of your life.  You feel overwhelmed from all of your carefully considered decisions.

Scientists have proven that if we have any more than 7 things to choose from, we go into overload, so by the time we go through the grocery store, we are in meltdown.  They have even connected this to Clinical Depression.

For example; I will take you on a tour of what you can expect for simple decision making, starting at the beginning of your day.  (Obviously, this really isn’t you because you would never do these things this way.)

The alarm goes off.  Do you set your alarm for a “snooze”, and for how long?  Do you just lie there a while?  Do you get up ready to take on the day?  Or do you turn over and go back to sleep?  That was 5 decisions, and you haven’t even made it out of bed.

You decide to get up and get dressed.  You go to the closet full of clothes and declare,  “I have nothing to wear.” After deciding on a matching top and bottom with socks and shoes, you toss them back and decide to wear the same thing you had on yesterday.  There goes another 5 or more decisions.  For some people this one act could amount to hundreds of decisions.

You finally decide that is a good time to have a wholesome breakfast instead of the same old breakfast you have every day.  You begin by deciding what ingredients you want for your breakfast.  You pull them all out and get ready, …  Then you decide it will take too long.  So you put it all back and sit down to your usual bowl of gruel that you are accustomed to.  Another 5 or more decisions.

DON’T LAUGH!  You may be this person.

What happens when your routine breaks down and forces you to make new decisions?  What if you are on your way to work  (Well, at least you made it out of the house without being half naked.),  you get into the car; you turn the key, and …  nothing.  Now you are faced with a whole new handful of decisions to make.  You must decide what to do about getting to work, fixing the car, and many other decisions about things that contribute to your circumstances.

Confusion!  You Bet!

With all the things swirling around in your head, you will think you are walking around in a fog.  YOU ARE!  This is the mental fog that is created by needing to make too many decisions;  and it further obscures your ability to make “clear” decisions.

Sorry for giving you depressing news about someone’s depressing day.  You can just go back to bed and forget it all until you wake back up.  (Ooops, it’s still there.) Or today, you can decide to be proactive in an effort to clear those cobwebs from your mind.

Here are some ways of doing just that:

  • Meditation
  • Mental exercises that strengthen your mind and gives you focus
  • Giving your brain new information that it is not accustomed to.   This creates a type of growth and change called neural-plasticity.

If you are serious about helping yourself crawl out of the miasma you have created then you owe it to yourself to consider what ZOX Pro Training offers. You know you need to do something different.  You owe it to yourself and those you care about.  They are affected by your decisions too.

Remember: Anything you want to change or improve requires information you currently do not have.  You need essential information fast.  We have your solution.
