5 Simple Steps To Following Your Passion: (an amalgam of ideas shamelessly plagiarized from various brilliant authors and humbly offered for your benefit and mine)
1. What do you love? The things that get you really worked up and excited are calling you to take action. No matter how simple or complex, big issues or trivial pursuits, if it gets your heart pumping, then set your mind on it. I guarantee that you will touch people and change lives when your heart is on fire.
2. Set a long term goal. Envision the life you would live if money was no option. How would you spend your day? Where would you live? Include as many details as possible.
3. Set a short term goal. Take one small step toward your long term goal. Give yourself a time limit and a reward for completing your goal. When complete, repeat the process with a new short term goal.
4. Establish an affirmative routine. It could be any regularly scheduled interval (daily, weekly, etc...) and by the means you find most effective. One example is writing down an affirmation, "I am a professionally published writer" and posting it on your bathroom mirror to look at and repeat each morning.
5. Keep trying! Understand that success is not determined by the ease of your accomplishment. Failure is our biggest learning opportunity and the barriers you encounter should never be construed as an indication that you are not meant to succeed.
Your passion is God's purpose for you. It's your highest calling and should not be ignored or postponed. Following a dream is the most unselfish thing you can do. Your life will be fuller than you can imagine and the peace and happiness it brings to you will be contagious.
