22 Secrets to Discovering Your Dream and Living It (1)

Last week Jay White at DLM posted this on their blog

I am going to attempt to write 22 posts that show how these secrets can also improve the lives of others.

1. What are your hobbies? This doesn't just mean stamp collecting -- it means anything you do with your spare time. That could be collecting comic books, reading about history, programming Linux utilities, writing on your blog, writing poetry, cooking, whatever. As it's clear that this is how you like to spend your time, and that you're willing to do these things without pay, it's very possible that these are your passions. Give each of your hobbies some thought, and think about whether they're things you love to do, and that you'd love to do for a living.

Longtime readers will remember that we encourage you to follow your passions. Give those areas of your life deep consideration. What makes you passionate? Are there others who have the same passion? Can you take these interests and form a community? Since you are 'volunteering' do do these things - can you translated the actions into assistance?

The reading, writing or creative passions are always needed by local groups and individuals. If you are passionate about cycling, running or other physical activity can you join a fundraising event or offer to share your passion with a group of people?

If you follow your passions, your life will be improved in ways that you didn't imagine.
