2. When you were a child, what did you dream of doing when you grew up? Most of the people today are living a life designed by someone else, if you too are one of them you have only two choices. Either start loving what you are doing or figure out what you wanted to do as a kid or was loving doing that time but due to studies or something else you were not allowed to continue. Your passion was aligned to those things, sometimes it happens we resume doing that and feel it’s not as good as we thought. In both cases you have saved yourself and moved a step closer to figure out your true passion.
3. What is your favourite topic to talk about? Whether you agree or not but the things you love talking about is something you are passionate about. Whether it is about the latest gadget, latest car, almost every solution to the difficult coding problem or anything else you know it better. The topics giving you peace to talk about are those few topics which you love and that’s why you read, listen or discuss them regularly. Did you know to speak on any topic you should have to know almost 50 times of what you are going to speak.
4. What do you like doing so much that you lose track of time? You must have read almost every self help book which talks about finding your passion so I am. Remember those times, when you teacher, manager, client or customer keep talking about something and your one eye is constantly on your watch. Opposite to this, what you love you never want to stop doing. Make a list of such tasks and then you can find out where your passion is aligned.
5. If you had 5 minutes and the whole world was forced to listen, what would you say? I still remember those days when a few of my friends were removing the options to figure out what I really want in college. And surprisingly that trick worked to know it. Give it a try, you will either get some incident of your life which made you feel proud or something you regret not doing in your life till date. Whatever the answer will be but you will get what you love or want to do.
6. What would you do with your life if you had no fear? We all have fear of some kind and our decisions, actions or even interactions are influenced by them. Just asking this question will give you what you really want to do. Follow it up with another question: what are those fears which are stopping you to do this particular thing.
7. What would you do with your life if you had a guarantee of success? Actually this is an extension of the previous question but it is necessary because many people’s ego get hurt to agree that they have fear from anything. For them this is the question, after getting the answer of this question you will get what your passion is.
I have created these seven questions’ list for you. If you truly want to figure out your passion, take a pen and paper, go to a silent place and answer these questions honestly without anyone’s influence because it’s your life not theirs. After answering all the questions you will get what you are passionate about.
