Do you remember the last time you woke up completely and totally enthralled with life? What was that moment? Why did it fire you up that way?

I’m thinking about passion today for this main reason: when we love what we’re doing, and we’re passionate about the outcome or steps in our day-to-day activities, our moods and attitudes are so much closer to the way we want to be. Also important to note, we spread that feeling to those we interact with, and by spreading a little of our passions and energy, we might possibly inspire someone else to begin to seek their passion or happy place in life, too.

Last week I mentioned a discussion I had with my husband about finding my passion and coming back to a childhood dream I’d pushed way under the rug. I wanted to expound on that topic with some helpful tips and places to start from an article I found:

The first huge step is taking the time to Brainstorm, and I mean all the different levels.

Here’s a list of questions to get the wheels turning:

• What are your goals? Today? Short-term? Long-term?
• If you could do one thing for the rest of your life and be happy, what would that be? 
• What do you love to do?
• What would you do anyway if you could, without always being paid to do it?
• What do you do that makes everything else disappear or of little importance when you’re doing this one thing in your life?
• What activity when you’re engaged, makes you feel strong, to the point you believe it’s a talent or a gift?
