7 Steps to Pursue Your Passion Starting Today

Are you feeling frustrated by your current lifestyle? Do you feel like something is missing from your life? You may be telling yourself that pursuing your passion will only lead to disappointment.

This couldn't be further from the truth! Pursuing a passion can open up opportunities for new friendships, more fulfilling work, and better health. In this blog post, we'll discuss seven steps to pursue your passions starting today.

1. Define Your Passion

-Defining your passion is the first step to pursue it. So what do you love? What are the interests that bring you joy? Write down five things, some of which may include: photography, languages, cooking, art journaling or gardening. This list can be as big or small as needed for now. You can always go back and add to it later.

Now try them on for size, ask yourself: "What would I pursue if there was no risk of failure?" These are the passions that you love doing. What do they all have in common? They're things you feel most at home with or where you can easily lose track of time.

2. Define Your Goals

Now that you know what your passions are, it's time to define the goals. What do you want? This is an important question because pursuing a passion will require some work and dedication. You need to be prepared for this with realistic expectations of how much effort it would take in order to pursue these interests on a regular basis.

One way to define your goals is to look at the end result you want for yourself and pursue that goal. For example, if one of your passions is photography then pursue taking pictures professionally with a goal in mind: make it big! If this passion includes teaching or mentoring others through workshops or classes, pursue that specific goal too.

Another way to define your goals is to pursue a passion that will provide you with an income. For example, if one of your passions is acting then pursue it as a part-time job on the weekends and pursue other passions in the weekdays while also growing your career by taking classes for theater or public speaking. Practicing this skill in the weekdays will help pursue this goal in the weekends.

It is also important to know what you can pursue to make a living so that your passions and goals are aligned with each other. For example, if one of your passions is photography then pursue it as an occupation or pursue another passion within this field such as being a stock photographer.

3. Figure Out the Resources That You Need To Pursue Your Passion

- What do you need in order to pursue your passions? Figure out what resources are needed. These can be as simple as a camera, an art journal, or gardening tools - always look for things that will help pursue your interests on a regular basis.

What's stopping you from pursuing it now? Are there any obstacles? As long as you have the time, resources, and energy to pursue your interests then there are no excuses.

4. Assess Your Current Resources

Now that you know what your pursue passions are and the resources needed, it's time to figure out how much of these resources do you already have. This can be as complicated or easy as desired - for example, if one of your pursue passions is photography then assess the current equipment that could be used for this passion.

It's important to know what you already have because it will help pursue your passions and prevent unnecessary spending.

5. Plan Your Day

In order for it to successfully happen, you need a plan. Make sure that you set aside enough time - at least two hours per day or one hour every weekday if not more - so that pursue this passion outside of work and other obligations. This may be hard but the reward is worth it.

A lot of people pursue their passions on the weekends or when they have time off but try to pursue your interests for at least two hours every weekday so this can become a habit and not just an occasional thing. Schedule out these times for pursuing your passion in advance, as well as any other obligations like work or family commitments (as a reminder, pursue this with at least two hours every weekday so it becomes routine).

If there is no time to pursue your interests then you need to make some more time. If work or family commitments are the obstacles then see what can be changed in order to pursue these passions on a regular basis because it's important!
