“If you can’t figure out your
purpose, figure out your passion.
For your passion will lead you
right into your purpose.”
- Bishop T.D. Jakes

3. What is passion?
A strong feeling of enthusiasm or
excitement for something or about doing
something.

4. Why find passion?
Passion is the driving force in one’s life. In not only your
professional life, but also to keep yourself going on a daily
basis it is important to discover your world.
To succeed, you need to believe in something with so much
passion that it changes your life forever.
Don’t settle for anything less. Keep looking out for that one
thing that gives you satisfaction.

Talk to yourself

8. 1. Talk to yourself
Ask yourself what is the one thing that keeps you happy. One
thing that you will never lose interest in.
But be sure of not confusing this with your hobby. Your hobby
cannot be defined as your passion.
Your passion is the urge of doing something that you have
always dreamt of but not been able to do it because of certain
reasons. Find that inner call.

10. 2. Set goals for yourself
Make a list of all the things you want to do in your life. Make
this list as crazy as possible and try to achieve at least one in
a month.
This will open you up to different possibilities.
Prioritise your potential passions. Decide what things you'd like
to try first - most intriguing first, or the most practical ones.
