How to find your passion and get a fulfilling life ? 4 simple and practical methods to understand your limitless capabilities..

" If you feel like there's something out there that you're supposed to be doing if you have a passion for it, then stop wishing and just do it. "

- Wanda Sykes

Passion is something we are born with which separates us from the rest of the world. It is something which makes us feel special about ourselves regardless of our status in society. or we can say it is the fuel which ignites the fire within us to make the unimaginable happen.

it appears great to hear and easy to attain but the scenario is exactly the opposite of what we think. In real life it's difficult enough that some people find their passion in the early stages of their life, some find it later and some never at all.

people make mistakes by searching their passion in the outside world looking and taking inspiration from people doing great in their specialized fields .we have to understand that finding real passion is an inner process which takes place only within us.

I myself tried to copy others just because their work seemed tremendous and new to me I can honestly say that didn't work out for me very well. these days people choose their passion only if it makes good money and that the harsh truth. that's why I have already told you that following your passion nowadays is the toughest as compared to the earlier times .another reason is the number of competition people faces in every field.

But one thing we ignore in the process is that our passion doesn't require validation that it makes money or not . one thing that people always ask me, is it possible to pursue our passion as a career? can we make enough money from it? what are the chances that we are going to be successful? 

My answer always remains the same 'passion is something which makes our real self feel happy and satisfied while doing something we are passionate about whether it makes money or not is a secondary thing. one thing that we have to understand is if you are really passionate about something you will never get tired of it despite working for hours with or without money because you have made yourself believe that you have born for it and that's what makes you happy and that's the biggest success anyone can ever have.

 One thing I have personally realized is, we are more interested in the final results than in how to get there. I have found this critical error in a lot of people who lose their goals because they somehow neglect the true essence of the process of achieving something. just remember one secret that a few know when you reach your goal in life you will not cherish your success as much as you cherish how you got there, by burning yourself to the core every single day, by making yourself believe that you can do it, proving the critics wrong every day, believing in yourself at your lowest etc. 

Just remember the true essence of success lies within the process and if you can improvise the process every day, congratulations you are already successful.

whenever I interact with people the most common and earthly problem I find with them is they don't know about their own self properly. I know it's a bit surprising but it's real, whenever I ask people questions like what you love doing in your free time? what makes you happy? what are the things you want to do other than your job? what is that one thing that makes you forget the time when you are doing it? etc. . In 90% of the cases people were not able to answer any of these questions without taking a long pause. by this we can easily understand where we lack the basic connection with our true self.

you have to understand the fact that finding your true passion completely depends on how much you know and want to know about yourself. because nobody knows what you are good at and what you want to be in life more than your inner you. so, stop searching for your passion in news, articles, motivational videos, websites and people betting you how to make money. and start focusing on yourself because only you have the capability to pull out the deepest desire of your heart buried in the absolute depth of the soul. 

So here are some ways  I have personally used which have shown me unbelievable results in finding and knowing my true self.

1. Reading - Read self-growth books as much as you can as it gives us a whole new perspective to look into the wider picture of our life and it's the true meaning. Read at least a hundred books on self-betterment and you will definitely feel how amazing you are and what you can achieve in life.

2. Asking yourself self-centred questions - This might surprise you but we humans have a tendency not to ask ourselves questions while doing something. Because people are afraid of what they might find within themselves which can be the reason for their sleepless nights. this creates a hidden void within us which is the main reason most of us are not able to know our true self, as a result, we live our aimless lives in a never-ending delusion. 

so make a habit from now to ask yourself questions like why am I doing this ?, am I really happy with the current situation of my life ?, How much time I am left with to really feel alive? what's the true purpose of my existence? making self sad for small things really worth it ?, am I a slave of my desires ?, what's the one thing that I can do without getting tired? and much more to establish a connection with your inner soul which will definitely give you more than just your passion.

3. Meditation - Meditation is something which has the ability to send us to a whole new dimension and make us know our true purpose. it improves our consciousness to another level as it trains our brain to be in peace every time. 

Just close your eyes in the morning and ask yourself why you are doing what you are doing. What's the true purpose of your existence and you will get the answer to everything you desire. you have to know yourself completely before realizing that you are enough for this entire world to thrive.

4. That one thing - at last you have to find the answer for that one thing which don't let you sleep at night, which makes you believe that you can achieve the impossible, that one thing about which you can read for hours without getting tired, that one thing which you think nobody can do better than you, that one thing that you feel you are born for " that's your passion " I can guarantee.

Time for a bonus tip when you follow your passion always remember you have to keep it slow, where the focus should be on perfection and nothing else because dreams are expensive and rushing for it might break it into pieces where you will no longer find yourself in a position to join the pieces. 

wait for the right time and then make your statement believe me the whole world will be walking behind you......
