STEP 3 - DISCOVER YOUR PASSION
Do you know what drives you? Do you have a burning desire to do or
achieve something? Does it feel like you're wasting time when you are not
busy pursuing your dream? Do you have that feeling of urgency to get
back to doing what you love, when you’re not busy doing it? If you
answered no to the above questions, then maybe you have not discovered
your passion yet. Or maybe you’re sort of happy with what you have and
where you are in life. So don’t worry, not everybody has a burning desire
to change the world and leave a footprint lasting through all generations to
come, like Newton or Einstein. The majority of you are reading this guide
in order to learn how to change “your” world fundamentally. Let me
explain. Having money won’t make you happy. Not in the long run at
least. For the short term it will absolutely make you happy, but you’ll get
used to it and the thrill will be gone. Before you know it, you’ll feel exactly
the same as you did before you had money. Only difference would be that
you would be rich and unhappy. Bummer huh? That’s why you need to
have a passion for something. A drive that gives you purpose.
For some it might be teaching our youth to be responsible citizens, knowing
that they (the teachers) have a powerful and profound impact in the way
any of their students would think and behave, forever.
For someone else it might be to help somebody in need. Think of
physicians, nurses, therapists and the like. These people are at the core of
trying to improve the quality of somebody else’s life. Yet for someone else
passion might lie in writing a love song. And just like the teacher and the
doctor, it can have a profound effect on masses of people. You might ask,
how could I even compare the importance of a musician to a physician?
Well, think of your favorite song. How does it make you feel? You see
with every song comes an underlying emotion and that emotion will impact
your thoughts for a few minutes (for better or worse).
Let’s, for argument sake, take a song like “Candle in the wind”, written by
Bernie Taupin and Elton John. That song was released in 1973 and today,
35 years later, it still gets airplay all over the world on a daily basis.
How many millions and millions of people have been moved by that song
over decades.
My point is, it doesn’t matter what you are passionate about, the world
needs you in some shape or form. And whenever there is a need (demand)
for something, money can be made (supply). How much you can make
