Discovering what you are passionate about requires a lot of self-awareness and introspection.  For most people, this process begins with taking inventory of your present and past lives.  Use this journal to make lists, work out thoughts by free writing, make plans for the future and note your accomplishments along the way. Organizing your thoughts will help tremendously in directing future actions towards fulfillment. Carry it around with you and record any times you feel happy and fulfilled.  Note what you are doing, anyone you are with, and what about the moment makes you happy.  Keeping daily notes can help clarify what is most important to you if you aren't yet sure of your passion. If you don't know what your passions are, you may have been asking yourself the wrong questions.  Rather than asking why you haven't found your passion, focus on what you can do now and in the future to find it.  Even if you know what you are passionate about now, your passions change with experience and personal growth.  Answering these questions may lead you towards a new passion you hadn't considered before.  Separate what you do from what you care about.  Hobbies and passions are not necessarily the same, and turning your favorite hobby into a job might not be what fulfills you.   You may enjoy a hobby as a break from a hectic day, but unless inspiration keeps you up at night thinking about it, it is not your life purpose. Think about who you are now and who you want to be in the future. Passionate people have an intense desire to find what completes them and pursue their true selves without reservation. Answer the following questions to get started:  What can you do for hours and not realize the time has gone by? What was your favorite thing to do as a child? Which of your accomplishments make you feel proudest? What is the one thing you cannot imagine living without? List your skills and personal strengths.  Ask friends and family to identify some for you also.  They may have thought of some that you hadn't considered. At the end of the day, what are the most important things you have done? Make sure your list of passions coincides with your core values.  If it does not, you may need to rethink what really makes you passionate. Pretend that you have no limitations and ignore any fears that come to mind about accomplishing these goals.  Start by asking yourself how you imagined your adult life when you were still a kid.  What were your dreams for the future then?  Do they reflect where you are now, or where you would like to be?  Be specific so that you can visualize this future self.  Believing you can achieve your goals is the most important aspect in reaching them. Henry Ford once said, “Whether you think you can or think you can't, you are probably right.” Take time to make sure your statement reflects what you really believe in and want for yourself.   Set goals that you can reach relatively soon.  Once you do, you will know whether or not they were reflect your true passion.
