Finding your passion in life

I’ve read this blog last year (2019) and I hope this year (2020) I’ll be able to find my passion or in much appropriate term, to rekindle the fire in my heart. Below are my notes for the blog I read (I can’t find the link tho, huhu)

  1. Ask yourself these three simple questions?
    – What subject could I read 500 books about without getting bored?
    – What could I do for five years straight without getting paid?
    – What would I spend my time doing if I had complete financial abundance to do anything?
  2. Don’t presume that your passion should be your job
    – “Anything that gets your blood racing is probably worth doing.”
  3. Work out what you hate doing
    – List the jobs or tasks that you absolutely loathe or hate.
  4. Find the things that you are mediocre at
    – Have lots of specialization
    – “They have fusion of skills, often not even exceptional skills, but they’ve made their fusion exceptional.”
  5. Forget the ‘Eureka’ moment
    – Spending 20 minutes each day thinking about the things that have interested you recently, or any opportunities that you have spotted.
    – True passion is not found overnight, but it is realized through series of discoveries of small interests.
  6. Remember what you love doing as a kid
    – Did you love to draw or write stories when you were young?
  7. Create something brand new
    – “When you create something new, you are inventing something to be passionate about.”
  8. Try visualization
