Passion and purpose
“Passion will always move you in the direction of your authentic self.”
-Danielle LaPorte
Following your passions doesn’t have to be hard. It also doesn’t need a grand plan, nor does it need to become a lucrative career or an ongoing life path.
Pay attention to what interests and energizes you, and make day-to-day and month-to-month choices which align with what you enjoy doing. How you spend your moments is how you spend your life — so take small steps today towards what lights you up.
Dream Big, Start Small:
- What are 3-5 passions or interests that truly light me up?
List them out, even if they seem unrelated or impractical. - Choose ONE passion from that list that feels most resonant right now. What are three small, achievable steps I can take THIS WEEK to engage with that passion?
Examples: research a class, dedicate 30 minutes to a creative project, join an online group. - What resources do I need to support these steps?
Time, money, tools, information – be specific. - How can I create a schedule or routine to make time for this passion regularly?
Be realistic and start with a manageable commitment. - What obstacles might I face? How can I overcome them proactively?
Brainstorm solutions or backup plans.
Let your passions bring you joy and purpose!
