If you could do one thing to transform your life, I would highly recommend it be to find your passion. Discover your passion and you open up your world to the endless possibility of doing what you love and living what makes you happy each and every day.
Now, this isn’t as easy as it sounds, but it’s well worth the effort. Too many people get into a job or a relationship that seems "perfect". What doesn't seem "perfect" at the beginning? But as they learn more about themselves and begin to grow in the job or relationship they soon see that it’s not so perfect anymore. Do you dread going to your job? Do you find yourself constantly lacking motivation? Do find what you’re doing dull and repetitive? Do you feel like you are compromising your wants/desires in your relationship(s)? You NEED to start being honest with yourself! Start to understand YOU. You need to start making the necessary changes in your life to match what you know you want. Staying in your current situation without the courage to CHANGE, not only will continue to make you unhappy, but you are not realizing your full potential and you are wasting precious time NOT living your best life.
Imagine this instead: you get up early, jumping out of bed, excited to go to work. You might put in more hours than the average person, but it doesn’t seem difficult to you, because your work hours just zoom right by. You are often in that state of mind often referred to as “flow,” where you can lose track of the world and time, losing yourself in the task at hand. Work is not work as many people refer to it, but something that is fun and interesting and exciting. It’s not a “job” but a passion. If you’ve got a job you dislike, or even hate, this will sound like a pipe dream to you. And if you never put in the effort to find what you’re passionate about, you’re right: such a thing will never be possible. But dare to dream, dare to imagine the possibilities, and dare to actually search for what you love, and it is not only a possibility, but a probability.
Here are some tips to help start you thinking about your Passion:
• Ask 10 people who know you what work or career they can see you in. Even how they see you in personal relationships. Do not judge or critique what they say. Simply look for the common thread.
• Ask yourself, "What is important to me in a career?" "What is important to me in a relationship?" (Romantic, Friends, or Family) Keep asking until you have nothing else that comes to mind. These are your values. Now, ask yourself, "What job can I hold or relationships be apart of that support these values?"
• Ask, "Am I overlooking anything that could be an opportunity to explore my passion?"
• Ask, "If I was living my passion, what would I be feeling?" Identify 5 feelings and act them out -- as if you were already living your passion.
• Pay attention to moments when you loose track of time and keep mental notes about what you were doing at those moments.

• Be willing to put yourself in a pinch for both time and money to make your passion work as your livelihood. The most successful people are those who have dared the Universe to tell them they couldn't accomplish their dream. This is easy when you get out of your head and get into your heart.
Look out world, here you come.
