- Hello, my friend, I am Susie Moore
and I have a treat for you today
with this video.
I'm telling you seven questions
that a life coach will ask you to get
to the bottom of identifying your passion.

Now, what questions does a life coach ask when someone comes
to him or her saying
I just don't know what I'm passionate about.
These questions will take you far.
So you might want to pause for a moment
and get a pen and paper to jot down your personal answers.
The first is this,
what am I doing when I'm slacking off work?
There is gold in this question.
I used to work with a girl at an ad agency
and she said, "Oh my gosh, when I'm not doing media buying,
doing media planning, I am creating lookbooks on Pinterest.
I'm looking for designer deals.
I'm putting looks together in my mind on my own design pad."
And I'm like, "My friend, you're a designer.
You're a stylist."
What are you you doing?
Apart from social media, doing things
that are distracting you, what are you observing?
Are you obsessed with travel?
Are you obsessed with blogging?
Are you obsessed with maybe helping others
in some area of their life?
Whatever you're doing
when you should be doing something else
is often a huge indicator of your passion.
Number two, what type of book and conversations
do you love to, to read and to be a part of?
Often what we can talk about for hours
or devour content around for hours
really is a huge indicator of what it is we love the most.
For example, you might find it really boring
to talk about sports or to talk about cars
or to talk about somebody's holiday
but you might be obsessed with fitness.
You might be obsessed with cooking.
You might be obsessive with sharing information
about just ancient wisdom
and solving problems through using the power of their mind.
Whatever conversations you can have for hours
really are a huge clue into what it is that you love.
This also goes for books, you read blogs, content, videos
audio that you just love to consume.
What's on your phone?
What conversations are you engaging in
and feeling excited about?
These are huge clues as to what you naturally already love.
Number three, what do people come to you for?
Are you the person everyone comes to
if they need interview advice or resume advice?
Are you the person comes to if they need
to create a budget at home?
Are you the person someone comes to
if they're having problems with intimacy
or they need to have a hard conversation?
Whatever people have you on speed dial for
or text you for advice about
is often a huge indication about what it is
that you're good at, what problems you can help solve
and how you can be there for them.
Never neglect this and don't think
just because it comes easily to you,
it is not a very special gift
because what comes easily to you
is very impressive to other people
and it really highlights
to your natural strengths and gifts.
Here's another good one.
If you could be anyone for a week, who would you be?
Think about it.
Are you someone who would be in a fashion magazine?
Are you someone who would be a parent expert?
Are you someone who had had their own talk show?
Are you someone who'd be jet-setting,
giving advice to other people
about new countries all over the world?
Who is someone you look up to whose career you admire.
If you could step into somebody else's shoes
just for a week or two weeks, who would it be
and think about why.
Think about why that might be
a really good ideal fit for you.
Those we admire look up to people that we follow
that often just reflecting our own very light back at us.
Number five, what do I feel least insecure about?
This is an interesting one
because often a coach will say,
"Well, what are your strengths?
What are your skills?
What are your natural talents?"
And we sometimes don't know.
We've never really been asked that question
and we've never stopped to think about it.
And it's really easy to focus on our mistakes, right?
Or areas in our life where we want to improve.
But if you think about it, if you go, okay,
these are the things I do in my day-to-day life.
These are things I do in my job.
These are things I do in my hobbies.
And they're just, and you, you pay attention to what may be
you just don't have insecurity over.
Maybe for example, you are very good at resolving conflict.
If there's a conflict in a game, a conflict at work,
a conflict at home, you're happy to just step in
and have a conversation to help ease it.
Think about that.
Is that you?
Is that something that you just don't feel insecure about?
You feel maybe naturally a little more confident
or maybe there's someone who can't speak up for themselves
and they don't feel confident asking for what they need.
Are you a very good advocate for others?
Thinking about what area of your life,
it will show up in multiple areas, typically.
You just simply don't feel inadequate about,
you don't feel a sense of insecurity about,
you feel confident stepping in.
Maybe not perfectly confident, but a little confident.
That's also a great indicator of your natural strengths.
What do I feel least insecure about?
It's always a very great way to begin
and then keep building upon that from there.
Number six, what is pure and fun and simple for me?
Remember that success is supposed to be easy.
It's not meant to be blood, sweat, tears, hustle, struggle
walk till your eyes bleed crazy.
What is pure and fun and simple for you?
If you observe a lot of very successful people
like Sara Blakely, founder of Spanx,
Richard Branson founder of Virgin,
Oprah Winfrey, we all know her.
They're having fun a lot of the time
doing work that they love.
Showing up, interacting with others,
being creative, being themselves.
When are you most yourself?
When do you feel most alive and like yourself
because the world needs people who come alive
and who have fun and doing their very best work.
And then finally, number seven, what are you willing to do?
What are you willing to do?
Think about it.
If you're passionate about something,
passion is a discipline.
It's not like passion exists and something magical happens.
It requires us to go forth, to be curious about it,
to keep taking steps forward
to make sure our passion comes to life
more and more and more in bigger, expansive ways.
Think what passion is wroth that for you?
What area of your life,
what part of or possibility in front of you
makes you feel willing enough to do the work
to keep taking the next steps to explore it.
There is so much joy at ease when you think about
what you love to do, what never gets boring.
Whose shoes you step into,
what natural talents you have
because you can show up confidently
and you're willing to keep doing it in this one area.
Success leaves clues, passion leaves clues.
It's not meant to be a mystery to us.
What is it we're good at
and what we're meant to do in this world.
It is meant to flow and come easily.
If we just remove the resistance and blocks to it
and allow ourselves the worthiness, the ease,
the love of taking those steps for ourselves and for others
because our success is generous.
When we show up in the world alive, connected, inspired,
we inspire everybody else around us too.
