How to live a passionate life

My passion is passion. I’ve just finished writing my book about it: Screw Finding Your Passion: It’s Within You, Let’s Unlock It.

 

I believe you don’t go and ‘find your passion’, I believe you live it. As Jane* described to me in her interview in the book, 'Passion feels like it ought to be something that runs through you, and through your life, and it’s integral to your identity'. Jane saw passion as something which was inseparable from her. It’s about choosing passion as a way of being versus something you do.

 

How do you choose passion? There are five key elements which unlock the positive passion energy within you:

 

Learning to use these five keys creates a self-sustaining passion spiral in your life and throughout your activities. The more you learn to unlock your passion, the more natural it becomes to you, and the more your passion starts to reinforce itself throughout your life. This type of all-encompassing passion leads to a happiness that is filled with both joy and meaning, as well as a sense of energy and freedom. This is your opportunity to choose to live a more fulfilling life that isn't about pursuing the one thing you love, but about finding love in what you do. 

Screw Finding Your Passion: It’s Within You, Let’s Unlock It by Susanna Halonen is available now. The book explains what passion is, why it is important and how you can start unlocking your positive passion energy right away. The exercises in each of the five passion keys give you the tools you need to become more aware of your inner passion and help you to create an action plan so you can start living your best, most passionate life today.
