Are you looking for a way to change your life in a positive way? What would you like to accomplish? Maybe you want to save the planet or maybe you want to become a better person. Regardless of what you'd like to achieve, becoming passionate about what you're doing will give you purpose and meaning. Once you find something that makes you happy, go after it wholeheartedly.

In today's busy world, we often don't experience joy anymore. The goal of finding our passion isn't always clear and obvious. When we try to figure out what we should do, we get confused and frustrated.

It takes time, energy and commitment to pursue something new and challenging. If you decide that you want to follow your heart, you'll need to take some risks and show courage. Here are several steps to follow if you want to find your passion.

So, here are the tips to find your passionn:

1. What do you love? - Do something that makes you feel happy and excited. If you are passionate about it, chances are you will succeed. If you don't get excited while doing what you love then maybe its not the right thing for you.

2. What can I easily master? - In other words, what skills (or hobbies) can I take to the next level without much effort and time? The best way to answer this question is to think back to your childhood. When did you start playing sports? What were your favorite toys or games? Maybe you loved music or drawing, etc. Now remember the times when you felt totally immersed in that activity and how much fun it was. That's exactly what we want in our adult lives! We should seek activities that bring us happiness and excitement. If you're currently stuck in a job that doesn't excite you, try some online quizzes to discover your true passions.

3. What can I make money at? - If you're looking to create a better life for yourself than just working a 9-to-5 job, then you need to consider opportunities where you'll have room for improvement and self-growth. Are you good in math? Consider becoming an accountant or bookkeeper. Is writing your special talent? Become a freelance writer. Are you great at social media management? Start your own business.

4. Where can I go? - This question is simple yet extremely powerful. If you aren’t sure what direction you'd like to go in, it might help if you first figure out where you're willing to travel. There are tons of jobs in the U.S., but if you're willing to move overseas, there are even more possibilities. Also, think about where you would really enjoy spending your free time. If you've always wanted to visit Paris, go ahead and save up enough money now to make it happen. Otherwise, you may never know until you give it a try.

5. Who am I? - Last but not least, this question helps you understand who you are as a person. As cliché as it sounds, we all have strengths and weaknesses. Find out what you're good at and what you suck at. You'll gain valuable insight into your personality and talents. Think about what inspires you and what makes you angry. By identifying these qualities, you'll gain confidence and improve your overall quality of life.

6. Take risks. Take risks. If something does not feel right for you then don’t do it. You are much better off figuring out what you want to become than doing things that may take years to figure out if they work or not.
