Episode 23: PASSION VS PURPOSE: How to Fuel Your Passion & Connect to Your Purpose

In this week’s episode we are talking about the discovery and exploration of passion vs. purpose. Both are different but connected.

Here is this quote I mentioned, “Life is a process, not an outcome. It’s like a dance, with a really good set of dance moves” – Bill Burnett

What is Passion?

Passion is used to describe and define emotions & feelings.

It resembles strength and conviction to things we love or hate.

It shares powerful enthusiasm that can often display our deepest desires.

What is Purpose?

Purpose is defined in a more intentional level and way. It’s connected to our behavior, it influences our goals, provide direction and gives us meaning.

Most people would say their purpose is what get them up in the morning and their reason for living.

Purpose also has a deeply rooted connection to achieving a goal that is often long-term but most importantly are meaningful both personally and professionally.

Our passion will fuel our purpose and give it the energy to live and connect to goals that can help us achieve satisfaction and success.

In a more symbolic lens, passion fuels the excitement and motivation to allow purpose to allow purpose to follow the journey through life.

How to Connect Your Passion & Purpose?

Passion will ALWAYS come first. It’s the vehicle that will allow the purpose to take you on the journey. The connection is YOU pushing the start button or turning the ignition.

To find your purpose…

You need to EXPLORE!

Spend time thinking about what you like and you don’t like to discover the things that truly give you the energy and motivation you for what you want to spend all of your time doing them.

These things should be things that excite you and come easy to you.

Keep a journal to document your journey. In this process, ask yourself these questions and make a list:

• What are your favorite things in the world?

Building the Passion….

Passion is going to drive you to take the journey and help you practice the things in your statement of purpose. It’s important to take the time to explore the things and to them. Try them and try them again to affirm your goals, statement and solidify your passion.
