Honestly, life is too short to be spent doing something you don't love. This was why I quit my day job in September 2008 (right start at
the start of the financial crisis no less) to pursue my passion to help others grow. I have never looked back ever since — for the past 5
years, I've been writing at Personal Excellence and helping people to grow. It has been the most fulfilling thing I've ever done and I plan
to do this for the rest of my life What is your passion? Is it to be an artist? To sing and perform? To be a life coach? To travel? To help
other people to grow (same as my passion)?
To be the best that you can be? How can you start pursuing it?
If you don't know what your passion is, this exercise will help you to discover it: Discover Your Life Purpose in the Next 30 Minutes
Some people pursue their passion part time while some make it their careers (or even turn their passion into a business). I personally
think that if something is your passion, then you should turn it into your life's work, because that's the most synergistic and rewarding
path you can pursue. Contrary to common belief that pursuing your passion is at odds with being rich, you can pursue your passion and
be financially abundant. I'm an example of this.
