Discovering Your Passion! The 1st Step to Following Your Passion!

This is the first in a 4 week series of blogs about following your passion. Every Sunday for 4 weeks I will be posting a new step to help you keep the faith and live your dream!

Discovering your passion! It may seem obvious, but discovering your true passion eludes many people! Many set out in today’s society to do what will make the most money, or what their parents want them to do, or what will bring them prestige in their community. Those of us living in the art world know about passion all too well because it’s been living and growing inside of us for as long as we can remember. I honestly can not remember a time when I did not dream of being on the stage. From the time I was 5 years old I was pretending to lead a choir, dancing on the fireplace as if it were my stage, and singing at the top of my lungs to Gloria Estefan and Whitney Houston. So although it’s not always easy to walk down the artistic path…I have always known what makes me tick.

However, what I realized recently is that I have another true passion that’s not as obvious…and for those of you who haven’t yet consciously figured out what your passion is…maybe this will help you!

I realized that I have a passion for my faith and for religion. I absolutely love learning about other religious beliefs, why people believe in what they do, and the stories that have lead them to their faith. From the Bible, to Paulo Coelho, to books about Hinduism, Buddhism and even New Age beliefs like The Secret, I can’t get enough. Almost every in depth conversation that I have with someone, somehow finds it way to the topic of faith! I am happy sharing openly what I believe, and love to expand on my faith by learning what you believe! And so, I came to discover my second true passion: Faith! Anything that you love to devour, to learn about, or to speak about is your passion. It is something you are born with! You can deny it…but it will never go away and someday, somehow will find it’s way to the surface. It doesn’t have to be what you do for a career…if you love helping people, can’t stop talking about the homeless who don’t have warm coats in the winter, or love learning about the welfare system in America…then get involved, volunteer and find a way to spend your extra time organizing a coat drive, serving at a soup kitchen or working to improve the welfare system. The sooner you accept what you are and what you love, the sooner you will start to understand your purpose on earth! Be true to yourself and your spirit and the rest will start to follow! By discovering your true passion you are one HUGE step closer to being able to follow it and live a life of deep fulfillment.
