Designing a passionate life requires you to stay focused on your passion. After you identify what is really important to you in your life, you need to stay focused on it. On the surface, it sounds easy but as you know, stuff happens and it's easy to loose your focus. When this happens, step back, notice that your attention is focused elsewhere and bring it back to your passion. The following list contains a few things that you can do to stay focused or refocus on your passions.
How to Stay Focused
- Write down your passions
- Share your passions with others
- Build a team that supports you in pursuing your passion
- Connect to the energy of your passion
- Visualize each step in the process of pursuing your passion
- Take small steps, one at a time
- Review stories of people who inspire you when you feel stuck
In keeping with the last point of finding inspiring stories, I want to share a video of a young man who followed his passion in circumstances that many of us don't even come close to understanding. There are times when it's easy to fall into the 'poor me' syndrome. It's at times like this that having a few inspiring stories to prompt you into reconnecting to your passions helps you to move forward and take action.
