Show Notes:<\/h4>\n

Hello my WIMBAS. Welcome to another episode with me, Dr. Sharon Grossman. I\u2019m so glad that you\u2019re here because today I want to talk to you about passion.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I am very fortunate to be passionate about my work as a coach and about other things in life, so I make sure to check the boxes of my passions and create a lifestyle that allows for both.<\/span><\/p>\n

So today, we\u2019re going to talk about what passion is, what you can do if you aren\u2019t sure about your passion, and I have a personal challenge for you at the end.<\/span><\/p>\n

As we begin, I like to first define what passion is to clear the weeds. Think of passion as something over which you feel a ton of enthusiasm. It can be toward an activity, a person, or a cause.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Oprah Winfrey said, <\/span>\u201c<\/span>Passion is energy. Feel the power that comes from focusing on what excites you.<\/span><\/i>\u201d\u00a0 So when we focus on the things that we are enthusiastic about, we feel a surge of <\/span>energy<\/b> and this is your personal power.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Sometimes people say, \u201cI can\u2019t find a passion or something I\u2019m good at.\u201d If that\u2019s you, hear this: Passion is closer to interest than it is to talent or ability. If you don\u2019t know what you want from life, you might be experiencing an <\/span>identity crisis<\/b> in which case you just need to spend more time getting to know yourself. Perhaps it\u2019s your <\/span>inner critic<\/b> that gets in the way, always telling you can\u2019t possibly pursue something because you\u2019re no good at it or that you don\u2019t deserve to feel happy and therefore keeps you from pursuing an area that you really are passionate about.<\/span><\/p>\n

If you find that you don\u2019t want to do anything, this doesn\u2019t mean you\u2019re not passionate. It just means you aren\u2019t motivated. You might be depressed. To find out, see if there are any thoughts going through your mind that sound like \u201cWhat\u2019s the point?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

For those of you who are a bit disconnected from yourselves, sometimes you can find your passion simply by being with someone else. That\u2019s when you start talking about things in your life and they can often recognize passion in you. I\u2019ve had this happen to me on several occasions where I was talking about something I was passionate about and the person said to me, \u201cI can see you\u2019re all lit up about this!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Also, recognize that passion doesn\u2019t have to be an activity. It can be a form of <\/span>engagement<\/b>. Maybe you are passionate about deep conversations with a good friend. You might feel passionate about problem-solving when someone you care about is stuck, which gets your creative juices flowing. Maybe your passion is the end-result after cleaning or organizing your space. You feel passionate about creating organization out of chaos.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span>In other words, passion can be anything, but the clearer you are about what gives you that jolt in life, the more intentional you can be about spending time doing that thing.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

And if you\u2019re curious about how to find your inner self, I recommend you read <\/span>The 7E Solution to Burnout<\/span><\/a>, even though you aren\u2019t necessarily burning out. That\u2019s because I walk you through an entire section on getting acquainted with yourself and by building up your <\/span>self-awareness<\/b>, you\u2019ll discover who you truly are.<\/span><\/p>\n

I want to leave you with 2 quotes on the subject. The first is by comedian Wanda Sykes. She says: \u201c<\/span>If you feel like there\u2019s something out there that you\u2019re supposed to be doing, if you have a passion for it, then stop wishing and just do it.<\/span><\/i>\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The second is by the admirable Mark Twain who said, “<\/span>Years from now, you will be more disappointed by the things you didn\u2019t do than by things you did do.<\/span><\/i>“<\/span><\/p>\n

And now it\u2019s your turn. If you want to discover what your passion is, follow these 3 steps:<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Think back to your childhood and early adulthood and list everything you were passionate about then. Maybe you loved riding your bike or bouncing on a trampoline. Maybe you loved helping your mom cook or traveling abroad to foreign countries. It can be anything<\/span>.<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n
  2. Take a look at your list and see how you can combine your passions. Let\u2019s say you loved writing and movies, perhaps you would enjoy reviewing movies for a blog. I actually know someone who is an author and loves movies. She now reviews movies for Netflix!<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. Now consider the future and how you might incorporate this passion into your life. If it is something you can make money from, perhaps you can start a side gig. But you don\u2019t have to monetize it. Give yourself permission to just enjoy it, maybe after work or on weekends or holidays.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    If you take this challenge on and discover something cool about yourself, please share it with me by leaving a comment on the podcast. And if you found anything I said valuable, please rate <\/span>and review this episode and don\u2019t forget to subscribe in your favorite podcast app. I\u2019ll see you next week.<\/span><\/p>\n
