One passion can

ignite other

passions


Your passion can be anything

that simultaneously challenges

you, intrigues you and motivates

you. Contrary to the idea that

doing what you love makes

work effortless, a passion puts

you to work!


Tips for Finding Your Passion

1. Try different things

2. Do research

3. Talk to others about their passions

4. Stay true to yourself and figure out your underlying values

5. Focus on yourself, not on others

6. Let go of your fear

7. Forget about money

8. Fill out the “Like it, Love it, Hate it” worksheet
