"To identify your passion, you need to look inward." Watch Noeline Kirabo's full talk to learn how your passion — when coupled with the right skills — can become your career: http://t.ted.com/ga4y5tb
Not just going through the motions of a job because we can, but living the inside out is truly living your passion! Love this!
Do this: Find your passion Work on your dreams Work on yourself. Work on your skill. That it!
I think it's so important t differentiate between passion and hobby, too! I struggled with this in my 20's. Not all hobbies have to be passions - you can just enjoy a thing and let it be just ...an enjoyment! Finding my passion, though - that changed my career! Sometimes it's not easy to pull those two things apart! (And sometimes it's not necessary).
Absolutely, self-reflection is key. But what if looking inward reveals multiple passions? Is it possible to pursue them all, or must one choose? Also, introspection often uncovers hidden fears and doubts. How do we navigate these alongside our passions? Perhaps true fulfillment lies not just in identifying what excites us, but in courageously embracing the journey of pursuing it, despite obstacles. What’s your experience with balancing passion and practicality? #SelfDiscovery #EmbraceYourPassion #JourneyInward
Nice! It inspires us to explore and align our passions with our abilities, paving the way for a more meaningful and satisfying life.
This reminds me of the saying in one of the classical television series: "...It's time for you to look inward and begin asking yourself the big questions: Who are you and what do you want?" - Avatar. Also, truly, I have come to learn that the best job/work one can get, is the one in which he/she is performing that which gives him/her innate joy and happiness (inside - out), apart from the financial reward. But a successful combination of both leads to a happy, resourceful and rewarding life. A very inspiring message from Lady Noeline.
Really insightful. I remember being in a meeting with a careers officer when I was about 14/15 and they asked me what I wanted to do when I left school. I had no idea. We had no discussion about passion. It was made clear that if I planned to be a doctor, police officer, postal worker etc then I would need to achieve certain levels in my GCSE’s and go to college or university but again no talk what excited me or what I truly felt good at. I’m sure things are very different now some 30 years later but I’m still pondering about what I could have ventured into had I realised I could have leant into something I felt driven by inside and harness that into a possibly career. Also, I feel like this kind of thing has a shelf life for many people. I couldn’t follow what I’m passionate about and feel confident I could keep myself and my two children and pay my mortgage, I wouldn’t know where to start- maybe in another life!
identifying one’s passion taps into their zone of genius. What they can do with little effort yet with great joy and fulfillment. Leading with passion significantly impacts a career by aligning work with personal interests and strengths, leading to greater job satisfaction, motivation, and success.
"you never truly start living until you learn to live from the inside out". This Ted Talk frequently reminded me of the Japanese concept of IKIGAI - A Reason to Live, to look inside ourselves to find our purpose and passion in life, to try and define what truly makes us happy, a vocation perhaps, then, can we find a way to make our passion our profession? More and more people are asking the same questions and in my experience this can only be a good thing.
