How to find your passion?

To begin with, don’t let your society’s beliefs influence you.

Now think about what you love to do and ask yourself these questions:

  • “What could I do without getting paid?”
  • “What do I do most of the time?”
  • “What subject could I read thousands of books without getting bored?”
  • “What activity motivates me?”
  • “Who are the people I admire, and why?”

Now, after asking these questions to yourself, what is your answer?

Yes! You got it, right?

The ‘answer’ is your passion.

How to develop passion?

Is it possible to develop passion?

Obviously, everything is possible.

Whether you are finding your passion or developing your passion; there is the same method to do both.

Take a look at my life.

Music was something I was very passionate about. I always dreamed of becoming a singer.

I always heard from my friends that I should become a singer. The dream of becoming a singer has always been a part of my life because I enjoy music so much.

However, when I decided to learn music, when I decided to explore the world of music, I had no one to support me.

I didn’t receive the support I needed from my parents when I told them about my situation. It is common for Indian parents to want their children to become doctors or engineers when they grow up.

I had two options when I realized I couldn’t be a musician without my parents’ support: Leave everything and explore music, or study in college.

However, I also hated the education system, and I dropped out of school.

Prior to leaving school, however, I developed my passion and I knew what my next step would be. It was business and entrepreneurship and I am passionate about them now.

Is there a particular way in which I developed a passion for myself?

The process is simple. It turns out I love business as well. Like music, I also wanted to explore the world of business in order to gain a deeper understanding.

For almost two years, I read business blogs and books, discovered some awesome podcasts, followed inspirational business mentors on Instagram, and watched a lot of inspirational and business-related YouTube videos and movies.

This injected a lot of business information and emotion into my brain. You won’t believe how much my thoughts have changed as well.

My love for business turned into a passion over time.

I’ve realized that entrepreneurship is my new passion, and I want to help and inspire others. I started this blog; I started answering questions on Quora, I build an Instagram following, and I started helping young hustlers through Inuidea and other social media platforms.

In addition, I convinced my parents (it was a difficult phase of my life) that I do not want to be a doctor or engineer. In fact, I’m not going to school anymore. I want to start my own business and become an entrepreneur.

So, here’s the answer to how to develop passion:

Make your choice based on what you love. Surround yourself with people who share your interests. Read books and blogs. Watch videos and listen to podcasts. Feed your brain with information and keep learning the required skills all the time.

You will then be guided by your mind on what to do next.
