What Is Your Passion?
Posted on 03. Jun, 2010 by Ken Bechtel in The Goo Blog
One way to start to find out what is your passion is to ask yourself what is it that you love to talk about. Once you get started you can’t stop. It is effortless. Actually it is invigorating and energizing to talk about this topic or item.
For me it was a toss up between energy work/empowerment and sustainable building. If someone got me started talking about either one, I could talk for hours and never realize it.
So I considered the two and chose to pursue sustainable building since it was more mainstream and an up and coming area to build a career. I worked for builders, natural plasterers and spent the better part of a year traveling the country working on sustainable homes from coast to coast. I even served on the Board of Directors for a local Green Building Guild.
Ultimately I realized that just because it was a passion of mine and still is, it was not a passion I wanted to make my career path.
Everyone’s career is not necessarily their passion and their passion is not necessarily their career. For me it is. I had held over 25 professional positions since graduating from high school and knew for myself that I wanted my career to be my passion. If my passion was not part of my career then it was just a job and I was not interested in another job.
So I was left with my other passion of energy work/empowerment. Now I realize that deep down I knew this was my calling the whole time. I was just scared. Spiritual Energy Work was not that common and owning that this is my work frightened me. I was afraid I would be looked at as a freak. Some woo woo weirdo.
But this is the thing that feeds me. My awareness infuses every aspect of my life. It is who I am.  Ultimately I stepped into it and am so happy I did.
So what feeds you? What is it that infuses your life? I would love to hear your experiences and/or struggles with finding your passion. Who knows, maybe my passion will help you find yours.
