Follow your passion
The route to living life the way you want, and the way God designed it, is universal  :

What do you have?

Every person on earth is born with a passion, talent or a skill to accomplish something  in order to live a purposeful, meaningful and satisfying life.

That God-given resource must be developed to a point where it helps many people to live higher lifestyles. If you develop your passion to such a point, it will bring you money.

What is your passion, talent or skill (PTS)?

Can you name it clearly and with confidence?

Stopping here and answering these questions is the starting point to your dream career.

Here are the⤵️ 4 simplified steps to identifying and defining your PTS :

1. Take out a blank piece of paper and a pen.

Sit down into a comfortable place where there will be no disturbances.

Write down the following :

A.} Write this heading at the top of the paper:   God-given Money

Then write the subheading: 🔋Passions

Under this heading write down your 3-5 passions in your life.

Here are questions to help you bring them out:

What makes you get excited naturally in life?

List 2 or three things or situations here.

As for me,  1) a construction site, 2) playing soccer as a striker and 3) showing people how to do things are my passions.

What makes you cry or become angry  ?

What interests you most in life?

Write down those things. They are your money.

Are you done?

Let’s move on ⤵️

B}  Write the subheading :  🔋talents

Talents are what you can do very well naturally with your body and which can enhance people’s  lives.

What can you do with your hands, mouth, mind, legs, body?

Can you play the guitar, sing very well, easily solve maths problems, play a sport without training much to be excellent?

List all your talents here. Even those which you are not sure of. As time goes on, things will become clearer.

Done?    Things are taking shape.

C} Write the subheading :🔋Skills

Skills are not much different from talents. We have split them here to clarify that certain passions need specific training in order to express them and deliver value to people. You will make money when you do certain things in a way very few people can.

For example, an engineer, a medical doctor, a banker, an agronomist, a lawyer or pilot does certain things in a unique way to deliver best results.

These people were not born as mentioned. They were born with passions in these fields. As they grew, they realized they had to acquire skills which express their passions in order to deliver a service which people could pay for.

So they went to school, colleges, universities, joined  relevant organizations and/or submitted themselves under mentors to acquire  and develop the skills.

You should do the same to live life on your terms.

D}1.  Therefore, to complete this journey, relist your passions here again on the LEFT side of the paper.

2} On the right side, for each passion, write the possible job names which you think expresses your passion.

D }3. Now that you know your passions and talents, the next step is to pick and arrange them in your preferred order starting with the most liked passion or talent or skill.

Number them like this  :

1. ………………………….
2. ………………………….
3. ……………………………

That is where your most powerful dream , your career and mega monies are.Thinking through this list will greatly help you to correctly and acutely determine your number 1, 2 and 3 passions that will lead you to live your most purposeful, meaningful and rewarding career.
