As I have recently joined Medium, 10 days after starting my 90-day content creation challenge that my friend Patrick Farrell(A.K.A. The Ginger Nomad) brought to life starting 1st of January 2019, I am here to write my first article.

Don’t get me wrong, making money is good and fantastic. But you will never be happy and free when you don’t do what you love to do. I am not talking about Amazon Affiliates and OgAds or some other money making methods.

I am talking about the stuff that you really love to do, the things that bring a tear to your eye when you think about working for it. The thing that is a passion for you. That is what my first ever blog post is going to be focusing on. Once you have found your passion in life, you will never have to work one day in your life again. Why? Because when you work for something that you are passionate about then you won’t give up right away when you encounter failure (ie: your site gets hit by Google penalty or your Instagram account gets banned).

You know that it is something that you love to do and therefore you are willing to put in the extra work and the extra time to do it right.

Think about your current situation, is the job you are currently doing really the job that you wanna do for your whole life? If the answer is yes then fantastic. Congrats, you can move on from this blog post!

If the answer is no, then continue reading. Often times we tend to accept job offers that don’t suit us just because of peer pressure which means that we are taking the job offer because we have money problems or other problems that we think our new job might solve.

If we stay in a job that we are not passionate about or that we don’t really like then we don’t value or respect ourselves. We don’t feel that we are worth to take the job or deserve the job that we really like and we come up with excuses of why we can’t archive something.

It can be very difficult to figure out your purpose, mission, and passion in life if you have never really given it too much of a thought. That’s what I want to help you with today.

How to find your purpose?

1.) Focus only on yourself. Don’t care about what other people think especially what other people want you to do. It’s not about them, it is about you.

2.) Think back in time. What did you love to do as a child/teenager/etc — Did you like to fix your bike when you were younger, or did you love to cook?

3.) Think about the times when you were felt the happiest. When you were fulfilled and satisfied.

4.) Are there any topics that make you happy or get you fired up when you talk about them or think about them?

The key is to write all of the answers on a paper and read through them. Think about what could be the perfect job for you. You like writing and cooking? How about you write a cookbook and sell it over Amazon.

Ask yourself quality questions such as:

-What are my goals in life?

-What do I do most of my time? Do I enjoy that? If not, why do I not enjoy that, what would I rather do?

-If I could only do one thing for the rest of my life, what would it be?

-What are my hobbies? Is there a possibility that I can turn it into something profitable?

-What would I do, even if I don’t get a paycheck for it

Let's think even deeper: What is your dream job? What is the reason that you didn’t get into this dream job? Remember, there is always a way to get to where you want to be. It just takes a lot of courage, time and discipline, but you can certainly make it!

Take myself as an example: I worked several jobs by now but I have never found the right job for myself where I could say “I finally did it, that’s what I really wanna do my whole life”.

If your at this point in your life, keep searching!

If you found your passion then take a look at your competitors. Model their success, but put your own spin on it. Incorporate the things you love most about other peoples business models in addition to your own unique take on things.

Becoming the person you want to be, takes a lot of trial and error, failure and things that don’t work. But keep in mind, the only thing that matters is that you learn from those failures in order to move forward and get closer to discovering your full purpose.

Hope you enjoyed my first post, I will try to do it as often as I can, I’m not going to post here daily for the moment but I will try to post do it regularly. Your feedback will be greatly appreciated!
