I hope this article can give you the motivation to find a real passion for life. Because of what, if you are excited about the life is not hard to find what the saying that success. But if you’re just stuck with the myth of success is immediately out of the area, because if you do so you are not serious and just playing games with yourself. The supreme accomplishment is to blur the line between work and play.

Following your passion can be a tough thing. But figuring out what that passion is can be even more elusive.
I’m lucky and I have found my passion, and I am living it. I can testify that it’s the most wonderful thing, to be able to make a living doing what you like.

This will be the thing that will get you motivated to get out of bed in the morning, to cry out, I’m alive! I’m feeling this. And to scare your family members or anyone who happens to be in yelling distance as you do this.

This guide won’t be comprehensive, and it won’t find your passion for you. But it will help you in your journey to find it. What little I know how to reach passion to achieve the success, if there is someone who wanted me add invite me to broaden the horizon and could be useful to someone else so do not hesitate to share it.

1. What are you good at? and What excites you?
Unless you are just starting out in life, you have some skills or talent, shown some kind of aptitude. Even if you are just starting out, you might have shown some talent when you were young, even as young as elementary school. Have you always been a good writer, speaker, drawer, organizer, builder, teacher, friend? Have you been good at ideas, connecting people, gardening, selling? Give this some thought. Take at least 30 minutes, going over this question & often we forget about things we have done well. Think back, as far as you can, to jobs, projects, hobbies. This could be your passion. Or you may have several things. Start a list of potential candidates. What excites you? It may be something at work & a little part of your job that gets you excited. It could be something you do outside of work and a hobby, a side job, or maybe you do something that is you like.

2. What do you read about?
What have you spent hours reading about online? What magazines do you look forward to reading? What blogs do you follow? What section of the bookstore do you usually peruse? There may be many topics here & add them to the list. Always remember to play with your self improvment.

3. What have you secretly dreamed off?
You might have some ridiculous dream job you have always wanted to do to be a businessmen, a designer, an architect, a doctor, an entrepreneur, a programmer or maybe a retailer like me, he…he…. But some fear, some self-doubt, has held you back, has led you to dismiss this idea. Maybe there are several. Add them to the list, no matter how unrealistic.

4. Learn, ask, take notes and try it. OK, you have a list. Pick one thing from the list that excites you most. This is your first candidate. Now read up on it, talk to people who have been successful in the field (through their blogs, if they have them, or email). Make a list of notes of things you need to learn, need to improve on, skills you want to master, people to talk to. Study up on it, but do not make yourself wait too long before diving into the next step. Maybe you know about Formula Bisnis, Pak Joko Susilo is owner, and with a blog he always presents articles marketing articles that are practical, so a beginner like me can come to learn about his marketing knowledge. Or maybe you have another figure which is more suitable, please have it up to you.

Experiment, try Here’s where the learning really takes place. If you haven’t been already, start to do the thing you’ve chosen. Maybe you already are, in which case you might be able to skip to the next step or choose a second candidate to try out. But if you have not been, start now just do it and don’t thinking more. It can be in the privacy of your own home, but as quickly as possible, make it public however you can. This motivates you to improve, it gets you feedback, and your reputation will improve as you do. Pay attention to how you feel doing it is it something you look forward to, that gets you excited, that you like to share?

5. Narrow things down Maybe that you pick 3-5 things from your list, if it’s longer than that, and do steps 4 with them. This could take month, or perhaps you have already learned about and tried them all out. So now here is what you need to ask yourself, “which gets you the most excited? Which of these can produce something that people will pay for or get excited about? Which can you see yourself doing for years (even if its not a traditional career path)? Pick one, or two at the most, and focus on that”. You are going to do the next three steps with it: banish your fears, find the time, and make it into a career if possible. If it does not work out, you can try the next thing on your list, no shame in giving something a shot and failing, because it will teach you valuable lessons that will help you to be successful in the next attempt.

6. Find the time and Banish your fears.
Don’t have the time to pursue this passion? Make the time, dammit! If this is a priority, you will make the time rearrange your life until you have the time. This might mean waking earlier, or doing it after work or during lunch, or on weekends. It will probably mean canceling some commitments, simplifying your work routing or doing a lot of work in advance (like you are going on a vacation). Do what it takes. If you to do that your fears will be gone, trusted. Because this is the biggest obstacle for most people self-doubt and fear of failure. You are going to face it and banish it. First, acknowledge it rather than ignoring or denying it. Second, write it down, to externalize it. Third, feel it, and be OK with having it. Fourth, ask yourself, What is the worst that can happen? Usually its not catastrophic. Fifth, prepare yourself for doing it anyway, and then do it. Take small steps, as tiny as possible, and forget about what might happen, focus on what actually is happening, right now. And then celebrate your success, no matter how small. Don’t forget to do this enjoy your time and enjoy what do you like.

7. How to make a living doing it?
This does not happen overnight. You need to do something, get good at it, be passionate about it. This could take months or years, but if you are having fun, that’s most important. When you get to the point where someone would pay you for it, then you are golden, there are many ways to make a living at that point, including doing freelance with affiliate business, maybe you can making information products with your ebooks, writing a blog and selling advertising. In fact, I recommend you do a blog if you are not already, it will help solidify your thinking, build a reputation, find people who are interested in what you do, demonstrate your knowledge and passion.

I told you this would not be easy. It will require a lot of reflection and soul-searching, at first, then a lot of courage and learning and experimentation, and finally a lot of commitment. But it’s all worth it every second, every ounce of courage and effort. Because in the end, you will have something that will transform your life in so many ways, will give you that reason to jump out of bed, will make you happy no matter how much you make.

I hope you follow this guide and find success, because I wish on you nothing less than finding your true passion. Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life.

I’m so used to writing, sorry klo helter skelter in English, because this is the first article I use the English language, all to learn as in point 6, although a little worried but trying is a very important business to know the quality of something, whatever it is . Do not forget ya leave your thoughts in the comments box as a means to grow this new blog.

Salam great success for you all,

Sincerely,.
