How to find your Passion?

[KrazySkater1100]

I can draw very good but I hate doing it. It's the same with literally anything

[fnoperi]

My real passion is running. i love running almost everyday 4 miles. Been doing it 6 years, & if miss my running for a couple of days, i feel not good, lazy, & gaining weight.

But i don't know how to turn it into a career or business.

[samann95014]

good simple technique

[adz1922]

so true

[calle899]

this may very well be THE anser to finding your passion , i have found many ways and methods to find your passion but this makes the most sence to me. It is very smart.

[whiteknight7284]

my passion is making sure i have buttoned every button on my shirt

[mohammedabshaun]

@whiteknight7284 That's called a mistake and that's how human beings learn, so what's wrong with that lol.

[ChriswJ316]

this is so real

[prettyparadoxal]

i have always astonished people with wy drawing abilities but i have no 'liking" for it . i feel bored with it or not good enough or some kind of not interested thought pops up when i think about even drawing art but its my greatest talent. what do you do then?

[DrKojiin]

@prettyparadoxal Dude, that is what i am going through, I like to draw, but I don't feel a strong pulling in that direction.

[mohammedabshaun]

@DrKojiin My man, I have been drawing stick figures all my life. The reason you like drawing is because its your gift. The universe is trying to tell you something but you are not listening.

[HopeVJustice]

@mohammedabshaun

I don't know, i believe everyone is born with several talents, but that not enough people discover them early in life. I know for myself i am talented in music and art, which i guess is both art. But i have the same thing with art, it just doesn't excite me anymore. I think people need to open their minds and think of something they've always wanted to try, but never have. Take a course or something, see if you like it, you might just be tallented! Peace! xxx

[edvykoi]

Thanks you soo much this video help me. I was going to major in college for nursing when thats not mi passion. I want to be in the art/entertainment field.

[findingyourpassion]

This is very interesting. As always the topic of finding you passion is close to my heart. I really believe when people truly do find their passion the course of their whole life can be changed.

[mohammedabshaun]

@findingyourpassion I agree

[mb3049968]

I think people know but are afraid of embracing it because of fears, disappointments, the struggle, and just goin hard for it. I believe everyone knows what they are good at but they need some support or some guidance and motivation. I knew from i was younger that i was made for music. I was just imitating what i heard. I grasped the art of playing very easily. most things i thought myself and the other half was just talent and a gift. Im on school for it now, not easy but its what i wanna do.

[tmwhalens]

If you love something so much that you could do it for the rest of your life, then you already have the ability to do it, and that strong desire you have for it will just make you even better.  For the rest of us, those of who are on YouTube watching this video, we REALLY DON'T KNOW what our passion is, and we likely never will.

[mohammedabshaun]

@tmwhalens most people don't search for it.

[pufixas]

what is my passion? i VERY like:

computing

musica

astronomy

and i'm 14, what is my passion?

[mohammedabshaun]

@pufixas Usually your parents hold this answer, ask your parents what your God given gift is, they may have some answers for you.

[HealthBeautyLuxury]

@mohammedabshaun Sometimes parents have their own jaded vision of what they want you to do or what they think maybe best for you. Lets say you have always been interested in dance, but your parents believed that there was no way you could make a "real" living from it; they will steer you away from that passion.

[mohammedabshaun]

@HealthBeautyLuxury You know you are 100% correct sometimes you are correct, with that being known if they only have their own agenda at hand, You should sask someone whom will get you a straight forward answer.

[masscash4u]

@pufixas You are only destined to be what you decide to be.

[Ultraman725]

What if you had no special skill as a little kid though? I had to spend a good 14 years developing skills. Because of this, that doesn't really work for me, have any other tricks?

Nice job with the video, more people need to find their passion for actual enjoyment doing something in a way that helps people.

[skeetmoses]

yeah that's the dilemma for most folks finding it, makig a living at it

[mohammedabshaun]

@skeetmoses bu that's many people that do, so let me hear what you think it is.

[skeetmoses]

@mohammedabshaun

I don't know trying different things, reading different things, going to seminars, brainstorming, meditatinig

If I knew I'd be doing it

[mohammedabshaun]

@skeetmoses lets try this close your eyes and pick five occupations you really would love to do. No matter how big or small, even if you think you can't do it, put it down. What would be your five dream occupations in order. This will get the process going.

[skeetmoses]

@mohammedabshaun passive income not occupations

[skeetmoses]

@mohammedabshaun creating passive income not occupations

[skeetmoses]

I'm one that is trying to find my passion, my niche. I thought it was music when I was younger but got tired of being broke. I would still like to be in some aspect of the music industry though. I've been in the military, finished college twice, finished cooking school so I'm continuing my search.  One thing for sure I'm learning a lot and hopefully one day all this stuffl will come together and mesh into something I'm passionate about

[mohammedabshaun]

@skeetmoses Let me ask you a question have you done everything, you could've done when it came to music. One problem I have always heard with passion is that people had a small search. Some people only look for their dreams in their own town, when the whole world belongs to you. What type of music did you engage in?

[skeetmoses]

@mohammedabshaun I wouldn't say I did all I could do but back then I didn't know all the careers there were in music and living in a limiting place was part of the problem. Now once I moved on the east coast I could see a lot more possibilities but I"m old now though.

Right now I'm after that passive income. I have a few things going but want more, want to take it up another level just need some ideas

[mohammedabshaun]

@skeetmoses Well see here is the problem. The creator put something unique in all of us, and it has nothing to with age, its a gift you have until you die. But only you, your friends or mother and father know what that special thing is. Once you find it, you have to find a way to profit from it. Continue to ask once you get more information.

[navyseal100]

I would wanna be a porno star!

[mohammedabshaun]

@navyseal100 so what is stopping you?

[navyseal100]

@mohammedabshaun first am married lol, second i dont think its a good long term career.

[mohammedabshaun]

@navyseal100 lol yeah I think that wouldn't be a good career for you then lol.

[skeetmoses]

@navyseal100 I wouldn't mind being ini the porno business in some fashion. As I continue to see men willing to lose everything I say Ii have got to get some of that money LOL

[Mangapulse]

I live in australia but thanks for your commitment. Happy to talk with you again another day. Thanks for your help still the same.

[Mangapulse]

thanks, in the meantime I will start drawing and maybe learn an instrument.

[mohammedabshaun]

@Mangapulse You see I hate to say this but even your speech doesn't sound convincing. If you want I can call you directly, I have a few more minutes before I go to bed.

[mohammedabshaun]

@Mangapulse I see if you have skype we can talk for free another day, but remember everyday you not working toward your goal and your passion, you are not living.

[Mangapulse]

Well first I'm waiting for you to tell what book you thought I should read like you said.

[mohammedabshaun]

@Mangapulse Well I think a good book would be 48 days to the work you love. It helps you put a plan together from the beginning, until you really find your passion.

[Mangapulse]

Lowers head in shame. No I don't give much time to the things I love. I can't even say I give 8 hours to my talents. I have not committed time for fear of failure. And stress as a single mom. I'm in school learning multimedia, but hit a road block with programming. Now it's like I've lost my compass.Yes I'm a perfectionist with myself. But mother's milky kindness with others.

[mohammedabshaun]

@Mangapulse So what are you going to do fix the problem.

[Mangapulse]

I have had a "passion" for the arts in general. And that has caused me problems. Yes I can draw, I have a gift for music, and writing. BUT, I have little resources. On top of that. When I have time, I avoid the hard work of practice, cause my results don't live up to expectations. So I'm o.k. at stuff but never excell in anything.

[mohammedabshaun]

@Mangapulse Two things, it is said that it takes 10,000 hours to become an expert at something. How many hours have you put toward your passion. It also sounds like you may a touch of being a perfectionist also. Write me again and I will give you the title of the book to read, that talks about this 10,000 hours.

[ThangxTroixDanh]

[ettisen]

My passion is working with my hands doing hair and sewing and things like that, but my husband wants me to go into nursing because it pays well and most people are doing it. But I HATE

[cloaknpoke]

I agree that it seems like there is a reason for everything.

My mom said I was a great debater/ arguer when I was little and told me to be a lawyer. My pation back then was playing video games which looking back taught me that self indulgance is not what's important in life.  Now my passion is self education on topics such as philosophy, religious/spirituality, gardening, and helping others. I still enjoy debating w/ others.

[cloaknpoke]

passion not pation lol

[lightmaker200]

Good exercise to try.

[ITsHardstyle]

my problem is i got too many things i like to do,

and cant really decide what to go for.

[mohammedabshaun]

@ITsHardstyle

Ask you closest friends or your mom and dad, they know what you are great at.

[cloaknpoke]

I too feel this is my problem, I have many interests and most are also very abstract and not main stream or "off the beaten path".

[cmrcmrcmrcmr]

... bodybuilding is something i loved for the past 3 years and never missed a day of the week. but never want to take steroids and so I can't pursue a career out of it ... answer to ur question was to hunt for food lolz ... don't really know ..

[mohammedabshaun]

@cmrcmrcmrcmr

well there are natural body building contests and right away I see something you have that other people dont and that' consistency. People will have so many news years resolutions this new years and will never keep them. Why not try personal training and a company geared toward helping companies achieve their goal. You have a great talent that can be built on.

[cmrcmrcmrcmr]

As a child I was into martial arts and gymnastics alot and I was really good at it but my parents never really paid attention to it so never ended up taking it professionally, just on the streets and beaches ... I finished school and I got busy with uni and now I'm 25 year old and working at an IT firm for the past 3 years, I think I'm good at what I do but don't know if I love it

[mbozza]

my passion is music. i love to sing because it feels great to express myself in that way. I also love psychology bc it allows me to understand myself and help people through their problems.

[mohammedabshaun]

@mbozza

What would your parents and friends say is your talent?

[mbozza]

my mom thinks my passion is gaming, why do you ask, i already said i knew my passion.

[Nat2ural]

Awesome video. It Made me think. I'm also having the same problem. I know that I want to be a multi-millionaire but I don't know which vehicle drive there with

[mohammedabshaun]

Ask Your mom or dad friends, they know your passion.

[Mu5clehead]

im 17 yrs old

I like bodybuilding and studying human kenetics

but i dont really know what to do to make a living

any suggestions?

i just need an opinion

[mohammedabshaun]

Well I think you are almost there, you already know what you like doing. There are many out of shape who need motivation and a plan to lose weight. Since we live in the most overweight country in the worlds, I think you will always have work. Just become an expert in your field, this will make people respect and want to know your opinion.

[chriso50]

My passion is learning and helping people. '

I just recently graduated with a degree in Economics this past May and because of the economy I haven't landed any leads on any career paths.

I've been working for this company for about 5 years and I am at this fork in the road. I know that my passion is helping people so I want to get into something that I can utilize both my degree and my desire to help others. Thank you for your inspirational videos.

[mohammedabshaun]

So why not get your CPA or CFP and begin to help people. Get on with a financial firm while you are gaining the certifications. Learn how to teach people about finance. Set up classes, workshops at churches. Create a foundation of teaching people how to live a poor free life. The sky is the limit for you my friend.

[realitycheckbaby]

Hey there. Just wanted to say that your video was great. You seem really sincere and genuinely in tune with some very good things. This was a big help and I look forward to more of your videos. Good luck to you in all that you do. Take it easy.

[avafreak252]

When I was a kid (elementary school) I was good at drawing, in fact I won a lot of drawing contests that we had at our school but I have stopped drawing since elementary school. Then in 5th grade I started playing the trombone and then in middle school I started playing the guitar and I'm in 10th grade now. I think music is my passion... but I fear that I can't get a good paying job and be successful with my "gifts" because i heard how hard it is to succeed in the music industry.

[dakin8888]

well my natural ability would be to not jump out of the plane because i was born with a passion to fly planes, is that a good one?

[mohammedabshaun]

Well there are a lot of businesses surrounded around aviation. Sky jumping, investing in a helicopter and giving tours and etc. There are many things you can do. Its up to you to start.

[shagsleepyeyes]

I am not sure I have that kind of unbelievable talent. I like writing , drawing in my journal , blogging , singing , and being silly . haha

[mohammedabshaun]

Everyone does I bet I can spend 10 minutes with you on the phone and you can find it. I am going to Nicaragua now so when I get back, we can talk. You have my information, if you have skype or something we can talk about it. Keep Searching for now. Ask your mom or dad, what would you be good at.
