I don't know what I wanna do in my life and people keep telling me "find what you're passionate about"... but I don't KNOW!!! I don't even know what "being passionate" means! What is having a passion? How do you feel being passionate?
Well, I can tell you, as someone who has gone through their entire life lacking any real 'passion' for anything, a good place to start is figuring out what things/activities fill you full of apathy and dread. Those are things you aren't passionate about. So if you go about it that way, you might shorten the list to things that you do love doing. (sidenote: my sense of dispassion stems largely from my gender identity issues, so there's that) That's exactly it, now that I'm writing this and thinking about it. What things/activities make you feel that if you weren't doing them, you would be unhappy or unfulfilled??
Something you feel happy doing. Something you find yourself wanting to know more about or improve at. Something that you rarely feel too lazy to do. Me, I'm passionate about revolutions, archery, writing, the environment and philosophy. Just do a bunch of stuff, and if you ever get an urge to do it again, you may have stumbled onto a passion.
I've been struggling with this my entire life. Nothing really seems to interest me. Maybe video games do but that's not really something passionate I guess. It really sucks as well when you're trying to figure out what it is that you want to study at uni.
I feel happy doing a lot of thing.. FOR ME... WOuld I do them for others? I would for money but I wouldn't enjoy it as much... Things that if I don't do them I feel unhappy or unfulfilled?... taking care of my family. But my youngest is going to kindergarten in september and I have to find something for me now. I have to start earning money. "Something you find yourself wanting to know more about or improve at. " lately I'm painting wargaming miniatures. I really like it and I'm pretty good at it. But I mostly did it for me only thus far. "Something that you rarely feel too lazy to do." ... nothing! XD I'm kinda lazy and I procrastinate for everything... Eating. never too lazy too eat but it's not a job and I'm trying to lose weight XD I find the human beings being very interesting. Like... how they live in other culture.. or.. Discovering how everybody is amazing and unique.. I like to write, I always wanted to be a writer, but that's probably the think I'm the most lazy to do XD
Yeah I heard that quote, but beside taking commissions, I can't earn a living from it, and I don't know how I would enjoy it doing it for others.. I like it because it's MY army... I painted a miniature from my lover's army and... well I'm not satisfied, maybe it's only the colors he chose but it's very meh :/ ---------- Post added 13th May 2014 at 12:51 PM ---------- But how do you know it's a passion?.. I have lots of hobbies like this!
Well I spend any moment I can thinking drawing writing talking or playing things to do with the WRC (google it) so that's how I know have kine anyway try different things until you find something you love
Hexagon , I like to write, play video games, I have a gift for music (but I studied music in college and nope, can't do that as a profession..) painting drawing (that.. THAT could be a passion, drawing, the only thing is, I can't draw!.. eh!... I've been trying to learn for the past 15 years and I still cant create something on my own.) I do stuff in crochet, I love to cook, I read, I'm a very artsy person
