I talked about the importance of finding our true passions and talents before in this blog – only after finding out about those we will be able to find out our ideal online business income stream, too, which has the potential to lead to fulfilling of life dreams. Only oneself knows about our passions and talents, but if I say we know I mean we should know by observing ourself and I have been talking about a few techniques to make that process easier and faster. In fact most people dont really know about their true passions and talents when you ask them and mostly it takes time to find out after having followed different paths ruled by common sense before.
In the bestselling business book, Success Built to Last: Creating a Life that Matters
What did all these people have in common after all? One of the most important statements was that we must choose our own personal definition of success, rather than assume we need to follow anyone else’s path!
You can see some samples of the videos with these people here.
So the importance of finding our own path and not following other peoples footsteps once again leads to the necessity to find out about the own passion.
Plenty of literature is written telling you how important it is to live your passion.
But how is it actually done? Another important and succesfull tool for finding out exactly the own passions is the so-called „Passion Test”!
It shows us how to discover and live our passions.
Who is the test for?
A 2005 study by Harris Interactive found that only 20% of working Americans are passionate about their work. The remaining 80% are not satisfied as a consequence – not happy, not living passionate lives.
Why do 80% of the people dont live their dream?
The 80% of people who are not passionate, not happy, not fulfilled in their own lives are people who have “settled” with the „circumstances“ dont know enough about their passions and the importance of follwing those according to the book authors Janet and Chris Attwood. So their test is a very powerfull tool to find out about your true passions and well worth trying it out. As Marci Shimoff ( Co-Author of Chicken Soup for the Soul) put it “Simple, clear, powerful. The Passion Test is a remarkable tool for getting the clarity you need to begin living your dreams.”
The authors offer an the initial test here for free (small donation is expected).
