How do you find your passion - Part 13
What would your ideal life be like?
You're now in the 4th part of the exercise. So far you have looked at your Past: Successes, Childhood, and Experience. Then you looked at Who You Are: Skills and talents, Your uniqueness, Your sentence, and Values. Then you looked at what you are interested in: What you love to do, What you actually do, Why.
Now we're going to look at the 4th bit - What would you like?
After all, this finding your passion thing is to improve your life, right? No point in choosing something that you actually don't want, is there? So let's set out some tools for looking at what would be ideal.
What is ideal then?
If you were to think of every area in your life, how would it be if it was ideal?
We're not really going for some impossible version of perfection - you know, you'd like to be a rock star, but in reality you can't hold a tune, or you would really like to be tall but you are short - but of those things that you can influence, how would you like your life to be?
Here are some categories to get you going:
- Relationships
- Family
- Friends
- Home
- Lifestyle
- Creativity
- Fun
- Relaxation
- Holidays
- Travel
- Stuff (you know, possessions and such)
- Purpose
- Spiritual Growth
- Health
- Work
When I made mine I found that for each category I broke it down more. So for Home it had a subcategory of Garden, which then had about 6 items of things that I would like for my garden.
