Discovering your calling is different for everyone. For some, what you want to do has always been crystal clear. For others, discovering your calling can take years and be more challenging. Still, the best way to live a meaningful life is to find your passion and embrace it. So how do you do it?
A passion may have its origins in an activity one enjoyed as a youngster or in a more recent finding made after much thought. The response differs depending on who you ask. But if you need help determining where to look for your passions, follow our guidelines below.
- Ask yourself questions – and answer truthfully.
- Take chances
- Trust yourself
At some point in our lives, we were all children, and that kid didn’t suddenly disappear the moment you grew into the responsible adult you are now. Here are three reasons to reignite and cherish your mini-you:
Reason 1: To conceive and produce
It’s essential to have the capacity to reevaluate and learn previously acquired knowledge.
Reason 2: To broaden one’s knowledge
The human brain is incredibly elastic and plastic while we are young and open to learning new things. Consequently, an adult brain considerably improves its learning capacity.
Reason 3 — To Discover New Gifts, Passions & Potential
Children have an incredible gift for being curious and following their wonder of the world around whatever grabs their interest. Adults, conversely, like to understand logic or reasoning before allowing their minds to wander. Our desire to understand before attempting comes from fear more than from a place of amazement.
