What's Your Passion?
Posted: Feb 1, 2012
If you could do anything at all, without limitations, what is it that "trips your trigger"?
What would give you the kind of joy that we experience when we're doing the thing that we're made to do?
"The Creator's master plan for your life is written in your gifts."
Not long ago, I became involved (purely on a whim) with a video production, and I had that indescribable feeling of "coming home" to what I truly am. Perhaps you've experienced that feeling. In today's world there are so many new and previously undreamed-of possibilities for turning "who I am" into a career.
What would your life look like if your career was an expression of "who you are"?

help... I have no passions - and dont know who I truly am
[ In Reply To ..]I realized this year that by becoming a very young mother, that I never got to know who I am or what I want. I need help on how to figure this out. Where do I start? Middle-40s and no passion... so damned sad.
Please don't be so hard on yourself. - mthead
[ In Reply To ..]I had an active, adventure-filled life before becoming a mom in my late 30s. I didn't have a passion then and I still don't into my late 40s. My life (happily) revolves around my family and my job. I figure I can find/follow my passion when the kids are in school, or maybe something will surprise me between then and now. You never know what tomorrow holds :-)
Oops. By school, I meant college. NM - mthead

oh lovey... - sm
[ In Reply To ..]Being a mother is no smal feat.
I am sure you have abilities and passions beyond our imagination.
Look at your life as if it were a story being told to you. You will probably find that the star of the story is someone adventurous, brave, strong, and someone you admire!
Time goes so fast, and we find ourselves in our 40s and 50s going "what the heck"? I often feel if I have wasted time (I never even had kids) and I am always looking to become who I truly am.
Everything you love to do is a passion, whether it's keeping your home, raising your kids, even enjoying a good laugh alone on the couch!
I wish you well. Here's to finding new passions around every corner.

awe, thank you - dont know who I am
[ In Reply To ..]That was beautiful. I wish you well also.
I think I had all the passion - sucked out of me by
[ In Reply To ..]by having to pedal just as hard as I can to make a living. Like that old song says, Life goes on soon after the thrill of living is gone.
my passion would be to rid the world of - sigh

I'd be an archeologist - Trampled underfoot
[ In Reply To ..]I'd love to be an archeologist but now I satisfy my desire to uncover mysteries by doing genealogy.
Photographer, no question about it. Nm - pics float my boat

oh, me too... - love taking photos
[ In Reply To ..]What kind of camera do you use? I am in the market for a new camera. I am torn on what to get.
My passion is baking - I'd love to make wedding cakes - and to run a gasthaus in Switzerland
[ In Reply To ..]I would truly forever be happy doing that.
Can I encourage you... - Briana
[ In Reply To ..]...to believe enough to make a start, even if it's just a tiny step?
Early in my life, I did some mountain climbing and I learned some valuable things doing that but I only very recently realized that they are applicable to so many things in life.
1. Climbing a mountain is something that begins long before the climb because there's a lot of prep, planning, gear-gathering etc. that happens before the climb. And, the experience impacts your life long after the climb. In some ways, it really isn't about the climb at all.
2. The success of the climb will depend in no small measure on how thoroughly you do all that preliminary stuff. So make the preliminary stuff part of the adventure, and enjoy that phase too! Don't chafe because you're not climbing the mountain right this minute; have fun getting ready to climb the mountain. The best climbers are also the best preppers.
3. You'll never know exactly how to climb a mountain in advance. There are things that are only revealed to you when you're actually needing to do them. The next hand-hold, the next foot-hold, the prevailing winds, etc. - these will only be revealed in the moment. When you've prepared as best you can, the imperative isn't more thinking or more planning. The imperative is taking the first step in order to see what the second step will be.
An action toward any goal provides revelation about the next action to take.
4. There are lots of mountains, and each one has its own satisfactions and challenges. If running a gasthaus in Switzerland isn't possible, what about running one here? What about organizing Swiss gasthaus tours (and probably going for free). What about setting up a Web site where people can post pictures, etc. from their gasthaus vacations?
...and in doing any of these things, who knows what it could lead to?
Some tiny step forward toward something joyful is joyful in itself. Joy isn't confined to the moment you stand at the peak.
Do it!
