10 Signs You Should Invest In Passion
I’m certainly not an expert here, but I was thinking today, how can I help give a little nudge to someone out there who might just need a little help? Maybe assisting them in defining what their passion is? That is why I blogged the 10 Signs You Should Invest In Passion, did you see the keyword? Invest, that’s right nothing comes easy, ‘invest’ as you know will require your time in thought, preparation, training and pursuing it. So here is my list of 10 Signs You Should Invest In Passion.
- Gift – What is your gift? You have one right? Is it speaking? Caring for others? Web design? etc, etc. you get the point here. If you have a gift, why are you not using it?
- What Makes You Happy? – What do you do that really makes you happy? What puts a smile on your face when you think about it? When you do it? or after you do it?
- Staying Interested – What ‘things’ or passions have you always been interested in? Even over long periods of time you still keep coming back to it?
- What Do Others Say About You? – Feedback is really important here, sometimes we can can go sideways in our passions, are they focused? Are you trying to save the world? Sometimes feedback from others, and what others say about you can also be dangerous, after all most people only dream about following a passion, very few ever follow through, because of this they will sometimes try to hold you down, get it?
- Purpose – Have you defined the purpose of what your passion or interest(s) are all about? Purpose is important to achieve validation, we all need validation, it’s a human desire that we all have, and it's why we do, what we do.
- Position – Is your passion or interest getting in the way? Or is life itself getting in the way of your interests? Maybe your working to much at your job? Maybe you don’t have a job? and therefore have no money to pursue your interests? Remember knowledge is free, go to the library or easier yet brush up on your passions via the internet. Your position, or time to actively go part-time or full-time in your passion will come to you, be patient.
- Vision – What is your vision? It kind of goes along with ‘purpose’, however; vision says “I would love to do _____ as a way to earn part-time or full-time income. After all most people do not really care for their jobs, just take a look around on Mondays where you work, know one smiling? That’s a pretty good indication that most really don’t want to be there, but will for a paycheck.
- Sharing – Does your interest have the ability to be shared? Can you, are you planning to share “how to do something?”, are you an expert in a subject? If you are that might be a sign that this is an interest worth pursuing.
- Belief – What are your beliefs in yourself? Are you a positive person? Or do you just allow others to bully you around and determine what your beliefs are going to be? Making and listening to positive affirmations are extremely important, being around positive people is critical to your beliefs. Adopt a tough mentality and have fun, then in the future prove them all wrong. Sometimes being silent about what you are doing with your critics is my best suggestion, and staying around your fans, and sharing your ideas with them.
- Fulfillment – Wouldn’t it be nice to be completely fulfilled in what you are doing? Most of us have to work for someone else, and have to give 1/3 of our lives to something that we know is just a job. That is why 99.9% of the people will at some time complain about their jobs, but do absolutely nothing in pursuing a passion or interest. Again be patient, it can take time to transition from what your doing, to becoming a part-time or full-time income way of life. Sounds crazy, but remember belief? vision? all of this is worth it, right?
That pretty much sums it up, I currently used my list of 10 Signs You Should Invest In Passion before it was ever created. Please leave me some feedback if this blog helped clear some things up for you. Affiliate marketing can be tough sometimes, but remember it's an investment in your future.
To all of your success!
Truly yours, Bruce J Kaufman

What a great post, so relevant as the New Year approaches. It seems as if this holiday season has wore me out and my focus has gotten tossed aside. Thanks Bruce for the reminder of where I need to be:-)
