The passion within you is the central power of the soul. Seeking and discovering your passion means connecting with your inner being and feeling the energy that can transform your life. Being passionate is the energy that motivates action and action generates results.

So, how are you going to be energized? How to discover your passions and bring them into your life? To find the answers to that, you will need to look within. 

In order to seek out and discover your passion, you need to ask yourself some questions:

What do you find easy or what do you have a particular talent for? Is there something you do that comes really easy to you because you have a love for it?

What sparks your creativity? Is it being in your favorite garden? Or a stimulating debate? The answer could well point to one of your passions.

What would you do for free? If you can answer this one, you've got it made, since loving something so much that you would selflessly devote your life to it, clearly states that it is a passion.

What topic dominates your conversation? Is there a topic you continually gravitate toward? If so, your inability to leave this topic on the table may stem from your passion for it.

What would you regret not having tried? If there were only one thing in life you could do, be, or have before you died, what would that one thing be?

What hidden clues does your home reveal? Walk around your home as if you were a detective. What clues to your passions do you find? Knick knacks from Africa, perhaps? What do the photos or pictures on the wall reveal? An intense love for family or friends? What about books or mementos on the shelves? If you did not know the person who owned this home, what would you guess about his or her passion in life?

If you are running dry on answers, ask your friends and family for their insights, although you may be surprised at what they say. Oftentimes, those closest can see strengths and passions in you that you may not see yourself. Be open to what they have to share.

If, after asking yourself many questions and listening to your soul's reply, you are still not able to find and discover your passion in life, then it is time to break out of the mold. Perhaps the reason you haven't found your passion is because you've not discovered it yet. Enroll in a class, attend a lecture or poetry reading, take up a new hobby or sport. Anything that will take you outside of your usual comfort zone will aid you in discovering new likes and dislikes, helping bring greater clarity.

Also, meditation is an excellent way to get in touch with your inner self, which will provide the drive and determination to pursue personal growth. It is a great way to calm the mind and cut out the noise of the world and our busy lives, allowing you to better hear what your soul has to say to you. You can start with simple meditation techniques in your spare time. Within your mind's eye lies your greatest treasure - the window to your inner self. Explore it and become happier and healthier in life.

When you've generated a list of passions, it is easy enough to narrow that list down to your top 5 most important passions. Start with number one on your list and compare it with number two. Ask yourself, if I could only have, do, or be one of these two in my life, which one would it be? Keep the answer as your new number one and compare that to the next item on your list. Keep asking yourself what is my passion in life, you would keep until your top five answers, or passions, have been prioritized and separated from the rest. Focus on these five and work to find ways to bring more of those activities into your life.

Your purpose in life is to use your unique gifts and talents to make a contribution to the world. Discover your passion and follow it faithfully, do what you love, work in your strengths! You will not only live a more passionate life, you will bring greater joy and happiness into your life and the lives of those around you.
