Everybody tells you to pursue your passions.
But if you don't know what your passions are and you can't pursue them
So how do you find your passion?
In my experience finding a passion can be done by doing just one thing.
Fully engaging yourself into a variety of skill based activities. If you do this, you will find a passion
but
What is doing that even mean?
Let's break it down.
The first thing to understand is full engagement. What does that mean?
Listen, I'm gonna tell you a hard truth
There is no way to know if you're passionate about something if you refuse to give it a shot because you're scared that you'll fail.
Here's the truth. You will fail and you should fail.
Finding a passion is not about finding something that you're innately good at.
Finding a passion is about finding something that you enjoy when you're fully engaged in it.
Similarly, you can't afford to worry about what other people are thinking or to compare yourself to others when you're in the middle of
an activity. You have to be fully engaged because you only have a finite amount of energy and
when you waste that energy on things like comparison to others, being self-conscious, worrying about failure,
there's no way for you to know whether that activity is actually something that could be a passion for you
Because you're not fully engaged and therefore you can't find any enjoyment. You're making the activity miserable for yourself
So that's what you should be doing when you're in an activity
You should be fully engaging in it and using all of your energy on it
But what are the types of activities that you should actually be?
Do I want you to think about the activities that you spend most of your free time on if?
You're like most people odds are most of your free time is spent on a screen passively consuming content
And this is not inherently bad, but the problem is that there's no level of skill involved in it
You don't get better at scrolling through Instagram or watching YouTube videos
But on the contrary think about something like writing or entrepreneurship or gaming
all of these things are activities that enable you to develop a skill over time and therefore they're the activities that have the
to become passions
So start to seek out opportunities to engage yourself in a variety of these activities and when I say a variety
I mean it not only do most people have multiple passions, but there's no way to figure out what those passions are
Just by thinking about it in order to figure out what you enjoy the most you have to try a lot of things
so what I recommend doing make a list of skill based activities that you've enjoyed doing in the past or
Things that you've heard about and you think you might enjoy doing and then go and fully engage yourself in them
Throw yourself in and I like to say that you have all of the time in the world for
Things that you love and no time at all for anything else
So if you start to do an activity that you thought might have been a passion
But then after throwing yourself into it fully it's just not giving you that enjoyment
Walk away from it
It's okay to leave old things behind for new things that might make your life more enjoyable ultimately
That's what we're trying to do here and your passions are expected to change and evolve over time
Most people don't just go straight for one activity and then realize that's what they love
There's a winding path that you'll have to follow so be open to change
So listen, if there's one thing that I want you to take away from this video
It's this to find a passion
you need to fully engage yourself into a variety of skill based activities and
Now, you know what that means so you can go do it it'll be hard but it's worth it. Good luck
