How To Find Your Passion In Life
In this article, I will share how you can find your passion in life. This is going to be a deep article, you should focus because something is going to blow your mind.
I know you may be asking yourself what you should do for the rest of your life.
You are trying to find something that you want to stick to until the day you die.
It can be that you have multiple choices about the things you want to do or you are trying to figure out what you should do with your life.
Either way, this can be a pain in the *ss.
I used to have the same problems, but what I did to overcome these issues is what I wrote in this article.
Without wasting time, let me share what you need to know about this issue.
This is how you find your passion in life;
1. Find out what makes you happy.
If you want to find your passion in life the first thing you should do is to find out what makes you happy.
Happiness is the main feeling that we use to stem our actions and the things we do in this life.
We all want to be happy and the rest will follow.
If you have everything in your life but you are not happy with the things you are doing this is going to wreck you into pieces.
So, if you want to find your passion in life the first thing you should consider is how you will feel about the things you do.
How do you feel about the things you are doing currently? Are you happy or you are still second-guessing your decisions on what you should do?
When you want to do something that you will be doing for the rest of your life, it has to be something that is going to make you happy, something that will keep you motivated even when you are about to give up.
It should be something that gives you positive energy when none is covering you.
But if you are doing something and you are thinking about whether you should do it or not that your passion is not there.
Trust me, when you find your passion in life you will never second guess yourself.
You will feel it deep within you that what you chose is what you are supposed to do as long as you are alive.
If you find something that really makes you happy when you involve yourself in doing it, then know it’s your passion.
But hey, don’t get ahead of yourself, there are other things you have to do before you conclude that it’s your passion.
Things that make you happy when you do them aren’t always going to be your passion, right?
2. Keep doing the same thing for a while.
This is something else you can do if you want to find your passion in life.
Once you have found something that really makes you happy and fulfils when you do it, it’s time for you to keep on doing it.
The only way you will end up knowing that what you do is your passion is by keeping on doing it.
You can’t just find your passion in life by doing it once.
And that is why I’m asking you to keep on doing it and observe the changes that you will come across as you are doing that thing you presume to be your passion.
When you keep on doing it for longer you will end up knowing if it’s your passion or it’s something you are doing because of a situation you are in.
It can be that you are just doing it because it’s convenient for the situation that you are in.
You are not doing it because it’s your life passion.
If I were you I would do the same thing for about 6 months at the most, to find out if I will still feel the same about it.
This is to just ensure that you are completely happy and you feel fulfilled with what you want to choose to do for the rest of your life.
If you will find out that after doing it for a month you feel like not doing it at all then know that it’s not your passion.
Also, when you end up feeling that you don’t feel fulfilled after doing it for 3 months then that is not your life passion either.
But if you have done it for more than 6 months and you are completely happy with how everything is going then that is what you should focus on, that is your life passion.
You have just found it.
3. Try different things.
This is something else you can do to find your passion in life.
If you are still figuring out what you were meant to do then you should consider doing this.
It can be that you are so good at different things, all the things that you do, give you the same feeling and you don’t know which you should stick to.
When you are in such a position it will be very hard for you to come up with a conclusion of what you should stick up with.
And that is why I advise you to try different things and keep exploring the things that will fit you.
In my case, I’m super good at so many things that I do. I like writing, and making YouTube videos (youtube.com/@AbduljabbarAli), I like travelling and I can even sing.
There was a time I was debating on which thing I should make my life passion.
Something that I would stick to no matter what happens.
You know what I did? I decided to start with writing and then I came to the YouTube thing.
I wrote articles for more than two years.
I ended up finding out that I’m more into writing than making YouTube videos.
I shot videos for 3 months straight and just observed how I felt about what I was doing.
What I can tell you is that I enjoy writing and creating YouTube content.
But after that period of 3 months, I just found myself going back to writing.
I couldn’t keep my hands off the keyboard and that is why today you are reading this article.
I told myself, “You know what Abduljabbar, I will sink deeper into writing though I will also do the YouTube thing.”
I found that I love both writing and creating videos, but I was more into writing.
If you want to find your life passion this is the same thing you can do to change that.
Now, if I decided to pick one thing to go fully into, I would end up choosing writing.
It makes me happy beyond imagination.
That is how you can find your passion in life.
4. It should be something that keeps you up at night.
Your passion in life should be something that you can’t get your head off.
I mean this is something that is stuck within your head. It’s very hard for you to forget about it.
It should be something that keeps you up at night trying to come up with different strategies to do it better than now.
That is how you will find your passion in life.
If what you are doing is something that doesn’t keep you up at night, you rarely think about it and you don’t find yourself coming up with ways to do it even better, then I hate to break it to you, but that isn’t your passion in life.
You probably like something else.
I remember the feeling of me wanting to write this article. It was something that stuck in my head for a while.
I was watching some Netflix shows but I couldn’t get the thought out of my head that I had to stop watching and start writing this article.
The show was amazing but I just couldn’t stop thinking about writing this article.
At last, I had to pause the Netflix show I was watching and sat on my laptop and started writing this article.
This is an example of how your passion should drive you.
If your passion in life can’t keep you up at night then that is probably not it and you should find something else to do.
5. Observe the effort you put into what you do.
This is another way you can use to find your passion in life. Something that is your passion in life, it’s going to be your purpose.

Something that is your mission, you will always be focused on accomplishing it.
So, if you want to find your passion in life this is one aspect you can use to check if you have found it or not.
We all care about the things that we find so important in life.
When you find yourself that you are putting so much effort into the thing you do even without being driven by anyone then know that you have found your passion in life.
You are putting so much effort into what you do because deep down you believe that it’s something that is going to change your life, it makes you happy and you feel the need to achieve the best out of it.
Are you putting effort into what you think is your life passion? If you don’t put any effort into it then that is not your passion.
Also, something else to note, you have to put effort into what you are doing for the right reasons.
It should not be because you are pushed by someone or something. It should just happen automatically.
This is how you find your passion in life.
6. You should be doing it for the right reasons.
If you want to find your passion in life this is another tip you can use to figure it out.
You should be doing it for the right reasons.
If you think that what you are doing is your passion (e.g photography), are you doing it for the right reasons?
Or are you just doing it because you found your dad’s camera in the old box and you are putting it into use?
Are you doing photography now simply because the person you have a crush on thinks that it will make you more attractive?
Maybe you are doing it because your friends are doing it, and at that moment it seems so perfect for you because the people you care about also do the same thing.
I mean you have to do the thing you are doing for the right reasons.
If it’s your passion it should come from your heart. You should love that thing with a pure heart.
When you find yourself doing something with other motives then know that is not your passion.
But if you are doing it because you love it, it makes you happy, it gives you a sense of purpose in your life and you can’t get your head off it then this is your passion.
This is what you should stick to because it makes you who you are.
If you wanted to know how to find your passion in life then I guess I have helped you out.
Conclusion…
The tips I have shared with you in this article will help you find your passion in life.
I have gone through the same issue and that is why I’m confident enough that the tips can help you a great deal.
Don’t do something and conclude that it’s your life passion simply because someone you care about asked you to do it.
You have to remember that you will be doing that for the rest of your life.
It has to be something that will give you a purpose in life, make you happy and bring the best out of you.
You don’t want to be stuck doing something that you aren’t comfortable doing.
