 It’s Find a Way to Do What You Dream Day!

Finding a way to do what you dream starts with you being a person of great character. Being a person of great character involves being trustworthy, being passionate and being focused.

It’s Find a Way to Do What You Dream Day!

 

 

 

To be trustworthy, passionate and focused, you must develop 12 core ‘champion’ traits. In previous posts, we talked about the four traits involved in being trustworthy: integrity, consistency, leadership and wisdom.

Today and for the next three weeks, we’ll talk about Dream Doer Rule #3: Be Passionate and the four traits you need to follow this rule: passion, enthusiasm, creativity and courage.

Let’s get started with one of the most exciting traits of all—PASSION.

Why should you express your passion?

When you express your passion, you feel excited, happy and special. So instead of keeping what you’re passionate about all bottled up inside, you need to find a way to express it. When you do, you free yourself to have fun and enjoy life.

What is passion?

Passion is expressing intense emotional drive and excitement toward any strong desire like your dreams.

But you can’t express your passion until you know what you want, why you want it and how to get it.

And you know you have real, true passion about a dream when you can’t forget about that dream even when you try to hide it or ignore it.

The great thing about passion is that it lives inside every person, including you. That means it’s your job to find what you’re passionate about, then DO whatever it takes to chase your dreams and live a life filled with passion.

How can you express your passion?

To help you find and express your passion, answer these questions:

  1. What is one thing I would like to DO? Why? How can I do that?
  2. Who is one person I would like to MEET? Why? How can I meet that person?
  3. Where is one place I would like to GO? Why? How can I get there?
  4. What is one thing I would like to HAVE? Why? How can I have it?
  5. What do I want more than anything in the world? Why? How can I get what I want?

What can you do NOW to express your passion?

If you could do something fun and exciting right now, what would you do?

The answer to that question is probably something you’re passionate about, so go do it now!

By figuring out what you want, why you want it and how to get it, you can find a way to be passionate and do what you dream.

Then the next step is to set your passion on fire. You do that by following the second part of Dream Doer Rule #3: ignite your ENTHUSIASM, which is what we’ll talk about next week.

Until next time, remember that you always find a way to do what you dream when you stick to your strengths.

To Your Dreams,
