How To Find Your Passion Finally

Is It Important To Find My Passion?

If you are wondering how to find your passion and whether it is important, you will get along just fine without it, well maybe not fine, you will dread every day of your boring existence. There are no rules about what you should do with your life, apart from the rules society and peer pressure apply.

You have free will and that means you have free will do follow what your heart tells you in each moment, or you can follow the thoughts inside your head that stem from society’s programming or your parent’s wishes or your best friends idea of what is right.

How Do I Know What My Passion Is?

It is easy, have a look at your life right now and answer to yourself

where do I spend my free time?
or if you don’t get much free time, take some moments
to feel what you would do.
where do you get a little buzz of excitement just
before you do something?
what do you surround yourself with (what type of
books, music etc)

People think that their passion has to be something massive and obvious and like some big revelation. It is not like that. It will be in your environment already.

If it doesn’t seem a big deal to you, remember not everyone has a passion that takes them out into the world. You must fill the space you are in now before anything else will show up. That means don’t deny what is obvious right now in favour of waiting and hoping for something else.

What Is Passion Anyway?

You can think of passion as simply enthusiasm. What are you enthusiastic about? If your mind immediately says ‘nothing’ then take a moment, slow down, centre yourself and make a decision to watch yourself and your thinking over the next 48 hours. What gives you a little kick of energy and emotion? Where do you get a little buzz?

It might be when you think about putting together a
menu and going shopping for food for a dinner party for friends.
It might be separating yourself from others and
spending a couple of hours on your own making crafts.
It might be just before you are going to look after
children you get a little excited.
It might be when you first sit at your computer and
click on the internet button you feel freedom and power.
It might be being alone with something mechanical
like cars.

Keep looking no matter how small or insignificant it used to seem, this is how to find your passion. You passion is in your life now.

Remember that what you find exciting now might not be the same in two years time. Maybe at a certain age you will be ready to discover your talent and excitement for snooker or dancing or a musical instrument.

That is why I say you must fill the space you are in now. Follow what is true for you now. You cannot manufacture passion for something so don’t go looking for what your passion might be. How to find your passion? Look for what happens already within.

Career Change Advice

Career change advice from a spiritual point of view is all about non-interference, just as it is in every area of life. Let life float you along and you will be on your right track for growth and fulfillment.

All our abilities and passions are not evident from day one and so a change in career is bound to appeal to you at some stage, even if it is scary.

You can do what you want but you can’t choose what you like doing.

A Change In Heart

If you have noticed a change in heart over recent times, an interest in making a career change to something else, then accept that something new in your life may be flowering and it needs patience and time to mature.

Just because you have lost interest and passion for your job doesn’t mean you should quit. When the time is right you will know what to do and when. Be open to following your heart and your intuition. That is the real you, the one that has a journey and a path to follow.

You have free will to ignore the calling to do something else but you will never feel fulfilled if you do ignore it.

Accounting To Enlightenment

I trained as an accountant and was always working with numbers, finance and accounting. At age 33 I started becoming interested in spiritual enlightenment, higher consciousness and psychology. Prior to this I had no awareness of anything to do with personal growth or spirituality at all.

I did not choose to like accounting and I did not choose to develop an interest in spiritual matters. Where did they come from? Who knows but I am not passionate about cars or trucks or fashion design as some of you are. For some reason you are passionate about stuff that bores me and vice versa. Nothing is wrong, every passion serves a purpose within you and within the whole of us.

When the soul is ready to move on to something else it lets you know via uncomfortable feelings. Be patient and be curious and open to what it is your soul is leading you towards.

Ignore It At Your Peril

If you ignore it this is when depression, sadness and major crises can occur to get you to wake up and listen. It is the way the universe gets you back on track.

Please don’t rush out and make changes quickly from your head, but as I say listen to your gut, follow where you are being guided towards and it will all become clear in time. The best career change advice comes from your inner guidance.

When in doubt do nothing and just be patient and wait. If you are unsure what to do next just wait until it is obvious to you beyond doubt. Then the challenge is to do it with conviction.
