Thought for the Day

Listening to Others

It can be hard to recognize the things for which you feel passionate. After all, you probably like to do many different things and the things you love to do may have become so ingrained in your life that you don’t realize how important those things are.

Fortunately, other people might be able to give you some insight. There’s a good chance you’re already displaying your passion and purpose to those around you without even realizing it.

 

You might choose to reach out to family/friends and ask what reminds them of you or what they think of when you enter their mind. 

Or you might take note when someone pays you a compliment or makes an observation about you. Write those observations down and look for patterns.

 

Whether people think of you as “a great joke teller” or they say “you have a passion for helping others,” hearing others say what they notice about you might reinforce some of the passions you’ve already been engaging in.
