How to Add Passion to Your Life

Just about everyone has at least one thing that he feels passionate about --- whether it is music, children or giving back to the community. However, not everybody knows exactly what it is that makes him feel passionate or how to pursue passion. The first step to adding passion to your life is to discover what it is you feel passionate about. Then, you can decide how to incorporate these aspects into your day-to-day life.

• 1

  Pay attention to the activities or things that make you feel alive. You may feel excited when you roam around a modern art museum or when you perform daredevil activities like skydiving. Tune into your emotions when you are engaging in activities to feel out what you love the most.

• 2

  Try new activities. You may not feel passionate about anything yet, because you simply have not discovered what you love to do. Take yourself out of your comfort level and open yourself up to new experiences --- whether it is reading a classic novel when you have only picked up glossy magazines for the last 5 years, or traveling to a new city. You will figure out both what you do like and what you do not like.

• 3

  Decide what job you would have if money, location and time were not a factor. Once you settle on a career that you would love to have in a perfect world, find out what you need to do to attain that career. While education may be an issue, you may opt to either go back to school and attain the necessary degrees or certifications or you can pick an aspect of your dream job and pursue that job. For example, you may dream of being a movie star, but this may be unattainable due to family restraints. Instead, try out for local theater productions to satisfy your craving for the limelight.

  Surround yourself with people who share the same passion. You may want to join a club or become part of a professional association. You can also connect to people online who share your interests. You will not only be able to talk about the things you love, but you may also make new friends or business contacts.
