I know that many people often think, “What am I good at?” This question can lead to further uncertainty, like “Am I good at anything?” However, if you’re pondering this, congratulations! You are among the 10% of successful individuals, and there’s a purpose for you to fulfill. This article, “How to Find Your Goal/Passion,” is crafted for you.
Not everyone contemplates this question, but if you do, it’s a sign that you are destined for growth. I will clarify each step to draw you closer to your goals and passions, supported by scientific reasoning.
We’ve encountered individuals who excel in their careers, yet when asked about their lives, they reveal a deeper struggle. Securing a job is easy, but stepping away can be daunting. Many find themselves discontent despite external success, feeling trapped by the allure of money and power. True freedom comes when one is ready to prioritize fulfillment over financial gain.
Consider those who have taken unconventional paths: an IITian who became a mountaineer, a doctor turned wedding photographer, a former CEO who embraced Kriya Yoga, a housewife who started skiing at 45, an IPS officer who pursued astrology post-retirement, and a CA who transitioned to a celebrated wealth manager after years of monotony. They recognize that while money and power matter, living life fully is paramount.
We can’t predict our moment of success or when we’ll identify our passion. Take Colonel Harland Sanders, who discovered his calling with KFC at 65. If he succeeded, so can you! There’s no deadline for pursuing your dreams; cast aside fear and focus on your goals.
Your work ethic matters, but remember that results are in God’s hands. Hard work will yield fruit in its own time. Embrace struggle as part of the journey; Sanders’ story is a reminder that it’s never too late to pursue what truly matters.
If you think success comes in a day, you may need to rethink your timeline. If life feels overwhelming, keep pushing forward; stagnation won’t lead to growth. Every successful individual experiences confusion, and if you’re currently confused, consider it your first step toward success. Don’t linger in confusion; take action and implement the solutions you find.
So let’s embark on this journey together! Here are the steps you must implement, step by step, to achieve success.
1. *What is your why?*
Understanding your “why” is crucial as you begin any endeavor. Are you driven by the desire for financial freedom, security, or a healthy balance of both? Recognize your motivations as you pursue your goals. Along with earning money, consider what other aspects of life you value. Perhaps you seek both financial and time freedom, allowing you to enjoy life while achieving your dreams. Opportunities like blogging or freelancing can help you achieve this balance. Take a moment to identify your “why” and jot it down in a diary.
Doubt and thoughts of risk may creep in, but that’s a normal part of the process. Instead of just focusing on the benefits of your decisions, consider the potential challenges. Ask yourself, “What’s the worst-case scenario if this decision goes wrong?” Often, it’s just a matter of time or the opinions of others. Now, imagine the possibilities if your plan succeeds—what if you generate a significant turnover within a year?
Remember, there are plenty of job opportunities out there, regardless of your age. Trust that with hard work, you can overcome initial setbacks. Write down your “why,” and let’s move on to the next step.
2. *Next, clarify your how.*
With your “why” established, it’s time to focus on how to get started. For instance, if you want to launch your own SEO agency, follow these steps:
– *Step 1:* Set a financial target for the year.
– *Step 2:* Determine how many clients you need to reach that target.
– *Step 3:* Break your goals into monthly and daily tasks.
If your aim is to generate a turnover of 10 lakhs, aim for about 50 clients, which equates to securing one client each week. Prepare a list of potential clients and reach out to them daily—this is your path to success!
By clarifying your “why,” defining your “how,” and committing to consistent action, you lay a strong foundation for your journey ahead. Stay focused, and embrace the process!
