If you are “just settling,” or you feel unhappy with the direction your work or life is going, you don’t have to stay stuck. A more passionate life IS within reach. We want to help you peel back layers of self-discovery and clarity so you define what your passion is and how you want to live it – no matter your circumstances and even if you can’t quit your job right now.
Whether you're 16 or 60, or any age for that matter, you will bump up against this question at some point: “What should I do with my life?”
There's nothing quite so daunting as asking yourself this question only to see a vast emptiness ahead of you.
How do you know what to do when you have no idea where you're going?
Even if you're gainfully employed in a respectable career, you might still be frustrated and think, “I don't know what to do with my life.”
No matter your goals, an online vision board may help you achieve them.
Vision boards are powerful tools for helping people visualize their ambitions.
They are collages of images and words designed to help make your goals seem more achievable.
When you have a clear picture of what you hope to achieve, your mind starts to accept your plans as reality.
This leads to greater focus, motivation, and confidence in your abilities to succeed.
Have you ever wondered, “What am I passionate about?” Have you been struggling to figure out a career or hobby that lights your fire but just can't find it?
As frustrating as it is to search and search and not find your passion, it undermines your efforts to delay happiness until you discover it.
Enjoying life and savoring everything you are doing along the path to your passion is a valuable part of the experience.
As you become more engaged with the life you have, you'll expand your awareness of the life you dream of living.
As you become more grateful, positive, and curious, you'll open doorways of enlightenment that lead you to your passion.
What I'm suggesting is more than a “relax and wait” frame of mind. It's a “relax, envision, engage, and expect” mindset.
Whether you’ve hit a creative dry spell or you’re looking for new ways to express your creative genius, you’ll enjoy the list we’ve cooked up for this article.
What can it hurt, after all, to learn about creative project ideas that could enrich your life and the lives of others?
Or maybe what you learn from one project will translate into new ideas for another.
The potential for cross-over with these creative projects is what makes them potentially life-changing.
But what makes creativity so powerful in the first place?
You don’t have to be a philosopher to ponder capital T truths.
Nor do you need to crack open a dusty Socrates text to begin thinking more deeply about the world around you.
It sometimes feels like our children ask us more profound questions about existence than we ask ourselves.
If you want to get in touch with your philosophical side or your inner child, we have put together an existential questions list that you can use to spark an internal conversation or an external debate with friends.
There’s no better way to get to know yourself or someone else than to ask about the meaning of life.
Your actions can exert a positive influence far into the future.
The choices that you make between now and the day that you depart this world have the power to leave a lasting legacy.
Your legacy might impact your family, your community, or even the world. Choosing to build a legacy will bring purpose to your life.
You can upgrade your motivations beyond meeting daily needs and direct your attention toward fixing a problem, helping others, or supporting your descendants.
Sometimes you need an escape from the hectic work week and the non-stop flow of chores and duties.
Finding an escape doesn’t always mean disconnecting, but rather, finding a passion that helps you connect more to yourself and what you enjoy.
Passion projects are just that.
They allow you to explore your creativity by spending free time and energy devoted to what you love, whether it's a charitable cause or a creative outlet.
