How do you know you have found your passion?

Humanity is constantly searching for fulfillment and passion, but how does one know that they have found their passion? We all have work we were born to do, or a part we were made to play. How do you you choose one goal and give up, or diminish, the numerous other possibilities?

    May 27 2012: Meditate is the most sharp way to guide us in this field.

    But practically, you can try these to closer to self understanding:

    1. Try to interact with others. Read book, widening our knowledge to give us more chance, to get our passion with fair (no hidden of something that left behind),

    2. If your heart vibrate strongly to something, whether it triggered with curiosity or strong denial, it may be your passion,

    3. Just make your list and make a log for further experience. Perhaps in the future your heart will vibrate strongly or even stronger to something the same as you experienced in the past (in this case: one not enough, but more makes clearer)

    4. Try to validate, whether it against your believe or not. If it against your believe, try to generalize it and look for other subset that you might still interested on other subset with strong vibration within your heart. And repeat again for the number 3.

    5. And if you found something then, the best part is struggle, fight to achieve it with kindness & carefully until you get what you dream on.

    If somehow you thought this was wrong passion, then remember this: we already passed this correctly then it's our limit. We are imperfect, but we try to do the best. It's our ever best guess.

    Less or more ...
