A quest for seeking fulfilment. The six steps I discovered to develop and nurture my passion.. (you can try this out too)

For the best part of my life, I didn’t know what I wanted to do and had no real intent.

I was scared to pursue something I truly wanted or truly believed in because of an overwhelming fear of failure.

It was easier to go and do jobs that I didn’t really care for, after all, if I failed, it wouldn’t really matter.

I followed society’s unwritten rule book and walked the linear path of going to school, getting an education, getting any kind of job so I could pay bills and maybe get married, have a family, etc.

I did everything that I thought was expected of me by family, peers and society.

Having never taken the time to develop and discover my passion, I struggled with a lack of motivation and discipline.

I was frustrated and depressed with life. I unconsciously masked this dissatisfaction with my life by seeking short-term pleasure through other things.

Aged 34, having bounced around different jobs, it came to a point where I was so disillusioned and pissed off that I decided to live for myself for a change.

It was then that I went through a journey which resulted in me developing and discovering my passion. I say ‘develop’ because it took time for my passion to emerge over a six month period.

Looking back and observing what happened, there were very specific steps I took which resulted in this happening.

Here they are, you can try them out for yourself too.

Step #1 - Digital shutdown

We are constantly bombarded by information in the digital / information age everywhere we go.

All of these things tell us what we should be like, how we should behave and what we should do. It confuses the brain.

I shut down from digital for about 7 days (no social media, no tv, no laptop, no mobile phone, no Netflix). This gave an opportunity to get some headspace and reflect about who I was and what I wanted from my life. I spent this time in nature. It gave me a sense of calmness, relaxation, peace of mind. I developed my meditation practice and spent this time reading books.

Step #2 - Social shutdown

Our brain is a receiving and broadcasting station. It’s like a computer. Our brain receives information, processes it and then broadcasts this as our thoughts, emotions, perception, perspective, reality and identity.

As a result, we become a reflection of our habits and daily decisions. What we do, we become

We mirror the people we spend time with and most of us act out the expectations placed on us by friends, family, society and peers.

Our brains are very sensitive to the information we subject ourselves to which I why I became really conscious about everything I do (I stopped listening to particular genres of music, avoid newspapers, tv and even put restrictions on how often I would see particular people).

All of this is why the digital and social shutdowns are so important.

It gives your mind some time to rest from this onslaught of information we’re subjected to within society.

Step #3 - Brainstorm

With this time alone, I was able to invest this time and energy and focus in on myself without any distraction.

I asked myself a series of questions (you will find them at the end of this post, you can work through them too)

It was through distancing myself from society (through the digital and social shutdown) that I was became an outsider looking in on the world.

This is exactly what you want. It helps you to think freely and clearly without thinking about what everyone else is doing or what you feel society might expect from you.

Step #4 - Make a commitment

I studied the answers I gave to the questions and began to go out and explore.

Nothing else mattered to me. It was my sole focus. I needed to discover my passion.

I booked in time consistently each week to classes (based on the responses I gave) and over time my passion developed.

Step #5 - Reflect

After you going out and exploring new activities take time afterwards to reflect.

Think about the people you met, the conversations you had and the things you got up to.

How did you feel afterwards?

I had a little book which I called the 'Little Book of Appreciative Thoughts'.

I would record three things each time in there to remind myself of what I did and how I felt.

This meant whenever my mind would play tricks with me in the future and in times when I didn't feel motivated I would look in this book and it would remind me of all the positive things I experienced when I did go.

Step #6 - Take the jump

Over a period of 6 months or so, I was kickboxing, running and doing yoga every week.

It was a this point that I realised that I needed to take it to the next level.

I had come to the realisation that this was the lifestyle I wanted to live and gravitated towards studying to make this my career.

I left the industry I worked in and retrained.

I am not going to lie, it was scary and difficult. I recognised that all the doubt in my mind was my mind playing tricks on me.

Fundamentally, I looked within myself and realised that I had found something money could not buy.

I would regret it for the rest of my life if I didn’t take the jump.

I left the ‘security’ of industry I worked in.

As much as I would start again on a salary that was a fraction of what I was on previously and would have to dramatically change my lifestyle, my instinct told me that this was exactly the direction I needed to go in.

These are the questions I worked through, take a look if you’re interested

If you do decide to work through these questions, do let me know if you have any feedback and whether they were helpful for you.
