Finding Your Passion

Hey There,

Today I wanted to talk about finding your passion. I realize that sometimes it can be difficult to find that one thing in life, that you know for 100% certain is your calling. That one passion that absolutely melts your heart, makes you happy and makes you feel as if you have really made a difference in the world.

I know how difficult that is, because I was there.

Unfortunately, sometimes because of the choices we make in our lives we are held back from really going after what we are most passionate about. We should NEVER have to give up what we love to do, not ever.
The only thing that is standing between you and your passion (or your goals) is you.

What most people don't realize, is that the only thing that is standing in your way is yourself. The only real competition that you have is you. The only person that you have to be better than, is the person who you were yesterday.
It took me a long time to realize these things myself and once you do realize these facts, you may just be surprised with what you find ... you may just see, that there is nothing standing in your way. It was only you against you, you and your fears.
You are bigger than your fears! If you just believe in yourself, you can over come any obstacle that is in your way because in reality .. You really CAN do anything!

You need to believe that you can achieve anything and everything that you set your mind to.

First, you must think about what you want to achieve the most. It must be something attainable, realistic and achievable within 6 months to 1 year. When you have short term goals, you can focus on them and focus on achieving what you want.

When you set unrealistic goals with crazy time lines, for example saying I want to lose 60 pounds in 3 months. This would be an unrealistic goal and you are only setting yourself up for failure and disappointment. As they always say, slow and steady wins the race. Quick fixes are never the route to take. You must realize, that if it were an easy road everyone would take it and that is why most people don't.
You will fail, you will have off days or weeks but with patience and a clear goal in mind you can conquer your goals.

I can tell you from my own experiences, that everything is most certainly possible. What you want may not be in your grasp at the moment, but in time it will be .. if you just have patience and persistence!

We all go on different paths through life, but you will find what you are most passionate about one way or another. Whether it be because of a traumatic event or possibly from an "AHA" moment, you WILL absolutely know when you have found it.
Once it is in your grasp, you must make a plan to make it happen and chase after it! You will never accomplish anything sitting on your butt, so move! Run! Fly! Just chase your dreams!

Never let anyone tell you that you can't! Shove it in their face, because YES YOU CAN!

Peace and Love!
