What system, and what the heck does it have to do with passion?
I titled it this way for a reason. Another very important lesson (2 actually) I learned over the past year is about following 2 things; your passion, and a proven system.
If you’re trying to build a business of any kind, and you truly want it to be a successful business, these 2 components are a must.
Let’s start with passion. Think for a moment what you do in your daily life. Really just pause for a moment and think. Do you love it? Is it everything you dreamed it would be? Or, are you just going through the required motions, day after monotonous day, doing what you HAVE to do in order to get by?
This is where passion really comes into play. I know you’ve heard it before, just like I have, for years. However, when you finally REALLY hear it, this is where it gets interesting. I hope you REALLY hear it right now. If you’re not doing what YOU want to do. If you;re not doing that thing in your daily life that makes your heart sing… why not?
That’s easy. There are bills to pay, and responsibilities to take care of right? Sure.
I want you to think of something you really love to do. What’s that thing that makes you love life? Take a moment and ask yourself. Even if you haven’t done that “thing” or thought about that “thing” in years. Whatever it is, take one minute right now and picture yourself doing it, and only that one thing. Go.
Well, how do you feel now? Did it lighten up your attitude, even just a tiny bit?
OK, now try this. Do that same thing, only really imagine yourself doing “it”. Close your eyes and feel what it feels like to be done that one thing that you really love to do, no matter what it is. Go.
See! You feel lighter, right? For a brief moment, you felt happiness, whatever your current situation. THAT, my friend is your passion. That is what you were meant to feel.
My point I’m trying to make is, there is absolutely something you LOVE to do. Guess what. you CAN find a way to do that something as a way of life. Whatever it is. You truly can.
Whether it’s real estate or fishing. Golfing or cooking. Horseback riding or painting. It doesn’t matter! Decide what you’re passion truly is, I mean, what could you do every day that would make you want to jump out of bed excited to get at it? Find your passion, then…
Let’s talk about systems. When you know your passion, sometimes you don’t quite know how to put it to use and make a living following that passion. That’s where a system comes into place.
With a system, you don’t have to figure it all out from scratch. See, there’s almost always someone that’s gone before you and become successful at what you want to do. This is great news!
Most likely, once you seek out and find that successful person who’s following a passion similar to yours, you’ll find that they’ve created a system. That system is the key to the foundation of your happy, passion-following life!
Sometimes they may have created a system that you can actually obtain from them, them simply implement. Other times, you may just need to reach out and make contact. Yes, actually ask them for guidance. What, does that sound “scary”? That’s ok! We’ve all felt a little uncomfortable about certain things.
Let me ask you, what’s the alternative? Will you just decide to go back to what you’re doing and say “oh well, I’ll never be able to live my dream life like that guy or that girl”. BULL!
Choose to be different! Choose to live YOUR life on YOUR terms! That’s how it was meant to be. Reach down inside yourself and decide to live free! You can. You really can, I promise you.
Find your inspiration. Find your passion. Love your life.
I hope you heard my message, and I hope it makes a difference for you.
