How to find your passion:

4 tactics to find a fulfilling pursuit

Tactic 1 — Don’t try and find your passion, let it find you.

That’s pretty counterintuitive advice, but it works. So kick back, take a load off and let your passion come to you.

We’re joking a little here, but the principle behind this tactic is great. Trying to find your passion means you’ll constantly be searching for an undefined state of happiness.

Believing your passion is just a job interview or a new house away will give you tunnel vision. It will stop you from appreciating what’s happening in your life RIGHT NOW that gives you energy.

Instead of focusing on hitting that next ‘life milestone’, look at your schedule and pinpoint what parts in it give you loads of energy. These parts of your day are probably activities you’re passionate about.

Once you’ve identified what parts of your day give you energy, figure out how to make them a bigger part of your life. In some cases doing more of these activities could lead you to lose your passion for them and that’s fine.

We can’t be passionate about everything in big doses, so the key here is to keep tracking what you enjoy doing and working out ways to increase the time you spend doing these activities.

You can test and explore these passions until you find something you can’t help but do more and more. Once you’ve found something you could do all day without thinking, you’ve found your passion.

Tactic 2 — Accept that passion is fluid.

Finding your passion isn’t like the end of a Hollywood film where a happy couple rides off into the distance and their lives are set from that point on. Your passion can be fluid and ever-changing.  
For some people, the pursuit of a goal is their passion. Once they’ve reached a goal, they lose their passion for it and have to move on. That doesn’t mean they’re doomed to live a passionless life, they just need to find another one.

Mel Robbins provides a great anecdote that highlights this fluidity: “Whatever energizes you, naturally expands you, feels like a possibility, is exciting to do, it might be scary but that doesn’t matter. It has to do with how it makes you feel. When you were in your 20s, money made you feel good, and there’s nothing wrong with that. It expanded you, it energized you, chasing the money, that was the game, that was your passion.

If what energizes you is amassing wealth, GO FOR IT.

If making money energizes you, figure out a way to make money, if making a difference energizes you, figure out a way to make a difference. It can be in any shape or form.

And the interesting thing about this is: Because passion equals energy, what you’ll find is that it dissipates over time. When you first start making money, it’s thrilling. But what happens is: once you learn how to do something once, you can do it over, and over.

It starts to become routine, which means it’s no longer energizing. This is why every entrepreneur out there goes through the mode of chasing the money, and then you hit the money that you need to hit, and then you say, I’m not fulfilled.

Every entrepreneur goes through that. And it’s because they were energized by the money and now they’re not.

Now you’ve gotta be energized by the next thing. That could be service, empowering others, or making a difference.

So when I look back on my trajectory, the thing that energizes me is making people feel like they matter. But it wasn’t always that, back in my 20s it probably was money and that’s fine.” 
It’s normal for people’s priorities and passions to change as they develop as people. For some individuals, their passions will never change…but for most of us, what was once important to us can become insignificant as we grow.

This isn’t something to be afraid of, it's just part of living. If you find yourself stuck in a rut, it could be time to analyze why you’re not feeling energized anymore.

You could uncover the energy for your old passion has disappeared and now you need to go back to tactic 1 and look at what’s in your life now that gives you energy and chase

Tactic 3 — Allow yourself to be passionate.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. But if you refuse to open your eyes to beauty, you’ll never see it.

The same goes for your passion. As we mentioned earlier in this article, we’ve been conditioned by society to think passion is a person, place, or thing.

This leads us to believe our passion can only be achieved in a very limited number of ways. A great job, a happy home life, and a nice car.

How many times have you seen the cliché of the ‘pushy parent’? They force their children to be a doctor, or a lawyer, as they believe that’s the only way for them to live a fulfilled life.

This traditional way of thinking about success can lead us to discard our passions because they’re seen as frivolous or unsustainable.

“Stop playing video games, grow up, and get a job!”

When this mentality is ingrained in us, we stop seeing the passion right in front of us. The first step to overcoming this mental block is to tell yourself that it's fine to enjoy the things you enjoy.

To find your passion, you need to be open to it coming from any source — mindset is key.

Once you have this mindset, make sure you live it. Corrina Gordan-Barnes, in her article about finding your passion, gives a good example of this using a restaurant as an example.

She says that if you go to a restaurant when you’re adamant you’re not hungry, nothing will satisfy you. The specials will seem bland and the food uninspiring. 

The same goes for finding your passion.

If you can only view finding your passion through the lens of a great job or big house, none of your everyday activities will feel worth exploring.

Tactic 4 — Be flexible in how you approach your passion.

So you’ve found your passion. But is it a career, hobby, or business? It could be all three or none of the above.

Your passion could be something you pour your evenings and weekends into, and your job could be used to support that passion.  

Some people really enjoy a stress-free 9-to-5 job. All they want from their career is a decent salary and flexible hours to make their passion a reality. 

You might find that some passions can’t be turned into careers; they could just be hobbies. What’s important is that you’re always doing something that gives you energy.
