What is a passion?
Many people think that a passion is an innate talent or an activity that you’ve loved since childhood. In reality, a passion is something that brings you joy, meaning, and energy . It’s not necessarily a skill you already have, but rather an area that excites you and pushes you to learn more.
Quick exercise: Take a piece of paper and write down the activities that absorb you to the point of forgetting the passage of time. These clues are valuable for discovering what you are passionate about.
How to identify your passion?
If you don't know what you're passionate about, here are some questions to ask yourself:
-
What activities give you pleasure, even without immediate reward?
-
What topics do you enjoy learning about, reading about, or watching videos for hours?
-
What tasks or projects give you a sense of accomplishment?
-
Is there anything you did naturally as a child that you've left behind?
A passion is often hidden in these small details of everyday life. It is not necessarily obvious at first, but it reveals itself through experiences and explorations.
Test your passion
Before you commit fully to a field, it is essential to test your passion. How do you know if an activity is a true passion or just a temporary infatuation?
-
Experiment : Rather than thinking about it for too long, take action. Take a class, join a group, or dedicate an hour a week to this activity.
-
Talk to enthusiasts : Talk to people who are already doing this activity to understand their journey and avoid certain mistakes.
-
Observe your level of enthusiasm : After a few weeks, do you still want to devote time to it? Do you feel a lack if you stop?
Tip: Write down your impressions after each session. You will quickly see if this activity is a real passion or just a passing curiosity.
Live your passion to the fullest
Once you've found your passion, it's time to make it part of your daily life:
-
Make it a habit : Set aside some time every day or week to practice your passion.
-
Surround yourself with inspiring people : Joining a community will motivate you to progress and stay engaged.
-
Set motivating goals : Whether it’s a personal project, a competition or a simple improvement, having a goal will help keep your passion alive.
