People in my generation and the generations before mine grew up hearing the message that passion doesn’t necessarily belong at school or work. You work to live, not live to work. You fit in passionate pursuits around the edges, if at all.
That said, on some level, we all want to live a passionate life. We deserve to live a passionate life. Even though we crave work that engages us, less than 15% of us in the workforce are “passionate” about our jobs. We seek out opportunities to create an environment that can reconnect us with our passion, nurture it, and amplify it, assuming that our passions are fully formed and just need to be “discovered”. But this belief can limit us in our pursuit of a passionate life because it can limit our continual exploration of new fields and cause us to give up when faced with obstacles. You can live a life full of interests and inspiration that can express themselves in different ways over a lifetime.
What do you do if you don’t know what your passions are?
You discover them.
I believe that we all have something we can be passionate about. To say, “I have no passions” is a cop-out. We can have different passions throughout our lives, and we can find many ways to express them in the world. Think of life as a series of opportunities to pursue your passions.
Here’s one way to approach discovering a passion:
