Question 9 of 24
9. Question
The next step is discovering your Passion:
Love – everything – every moment – appreciate it all – be engaged.
Look – around – what do you see…your passion is in front of you – be present – be mindful.
Learn – constantly – from everyone – be aware – be conscious.
Do – just start moving – be doing – be active.
Bottom line, you don’t need to find your passion, it will find you.
In discovering your personal coaching WHY, consider what it is that you do that engages you daily.
What is it that you actually do?
Many people spend a lot of time and energy searching for a passion, when it reality for most people it is already in plain sight right in front of you and you’re already doing it in one form or another.
