How to Find Your Life's Passion When You Are Broke

Have you always had a problem achieving your goals? Do you feel like you have read every "How to" goal book ever written, but yet, you still fail at your goals?

Perhaps the problem is not you, but your goals. Do you know what you really, really want out of life?

We tend to want so much out of life. We feel like we will die if we don't get the new car, but a few weeks after getting the new car and the "newness" wears off, we realize the car no longer makes us happy. This happens because the car was not what we really, really wanted in the first place. We simply thought the car was what we wanted.

Finding out what you want out of your life is not easy. In fact, most of us think about exactly what we want out of life so much, that we consider ourselves failures because we can't come up with any ideas. This does nothing but keep us, unhappily, in our comfort zones.

So we lay around in that comfort zone thinking, every once in a while, of how we are going to change our life and be happy. We also purchase more "How to" books about achieving goals. Each time we make a set of goals, we lose interest in what we are doing. We lose our motivation to accomplish anything.

So what is the answer? How do we find out our life's passion? We don't. Instead, you need to look at what you enjoy doing and dissect it.

Say that you enjoy cooking and your dream is to open your own culinary store. Now, let's dissect what you enjoy. We will start with the positives, negatives, and options, and then go from there:

Positive:

You have been a gourmet cook for 15 years, you have every kitchen appliance and gadget imaginable, you have created your own recipes for the last 12 years, and everyone loves your cooking.

Negative:

You do not have the money or the credit to open your own culinary store, you are in debt up to your eyeballs, you never finished college or even attempted culinary school, and you are about to lose your job.

Options:

You can live a quiet life and live under a bridge.
You could see if you could borrow the kitchen at your local church and perhaps start a catering company. The deposits from your customers will allow you to purchase the food, and since you already have all the kitchen appliances and gadgets, your start-up costs would be next to nothing.
You could use your computer to write a cookbook and put it on a CD. You could sell the cookbook to friends, as well as place free ads on freeads.com and Craigslist. Again, your start-up costs would be next to nothing.
You could go online to the tee-shirt stores and create shirts, coffee mugs, kitchen aprons, and just about anything else you can think of, and put funny sayings on them. The start-up costs are zero for most of these types of places.
You could become a private chef. You could go to people's homes and cook for them at special events they have. Again, your start-up costs would be next to nothing.

When you find what you truly want, the ideas will flow. You will then be able to set and achieve your goals. You will have an unbelievable amount of energy and motivation. Determination and self-confidence will come out of nowhere and take over your life.

You can't become successful at something you really don't want. This is why it is so important that when you set your goals, you know exactly what you want. Knowing exactly what you want will fill your mind with the creativity to make it happen.

Remember, Rome was not built in a day. You may not achieve your dream immediately, but at least your will be doing what you enjoy while you are working on achieving your dream.
