What Do You Want To Do For The Rest Of Your Life?

This question sounds simple, yet is so difficult for a lot of you to answer. Am I kidding myself? It is even still very difficult to answer for myself! I have at this very moment not a clue what exactly it is that I want to do for the rest of my life.

I am like 38 years old and have had some jobs here and there. I've moved countries, I have achieved a bunch of stuff. I have studied two different studies, IT and marketing. I have been at WA for over 2 years now and done most of the course material (not all of bootcamp is completed and I barely follow with on all the other content that is being created). I married a beautiful wife, I got a great car, a nice house, 5 kitties and so on.

But...

I haven't (entirely) figured myself out, I don't know half the time who I really am as a person and I haven't got the job that I love or the insane "passive income" with my online business(es). Passive income, by the way, does not exist, but that is for another time.

WA: Create A Business Around Your Passion

Here on WA we learn that we should follow a passion, a hobby or something similar of interest to write about and build our business around. I've done so too.

I started with something that at the time was something very real for me. Learning how to relax. I felt stressed by a lot of stuff, both work life and life itself. I started a site (stressrelieve .net) and felt overburdened by the need to create content for it not very long after. It didn't feel like something that fitted me. It didn't come natural and I was only half-arsed interested in the matter. Yes, the research made me realise how to relax and when I felt relaxed, I didn't feel like putting out the content.

Was it the right niche? Probably not. It didn't quite feel like I could just dream the content up for it.

Up was the next thing, goingrenewable .com a site about well renewable energy, saving the environment, electrical cars, solar panels, wind energy, all the do-it-self stuff, you name it. I figured even quicker here that this wasn't either a thing I am really really burning for. Sure, I got an electric car and yes we had plans to put solar on our roof (we got all that sorted too by now), but I didn't feel to tell the world about it. It wasn't my burning passion, just a sidething that would perhaps prove to be useful or cost-saving or better for own health.

After followed a couple of things. I started a bootcamp site (ownonlineboss .com) and I started following some more video material from WA and from others around the web and figured I should get some "easy" ranking sorted with other domains that were way more specific.

With bakingbreadrecipes .com (I expired the domain recently) I was going to create a lot of valueable recipes and review bread baking machines and that sort of stuff. It never happened however and after 2 years or so I now let the domain expire.

With digitalgamecode .com I hoped to create a website with digital games and gamecards as promo and just write reviews of the games and stuff. The domain still is in my posession, but I haven't done anything with it.

Instantprintcameras .com is a site about the new version of Polaroid camera's that are seeing popularity. Still haven't created a single review on that site. There are some other domains in my possession that are either my wife's projects or have been repurposed by now. Some other domains are still in my registrar listed for later purposes.

I also received a complete licensed concept of a system that is active in NL that I can deploy on the Scandinavian market. After about a year of half-arsed working on it, I have now the past two weeks worked on it full-time and it might bring something for me, but I am not sure if it is my burning passion. It certainly can be my prove of concept or a little of a side-hustle.

I even started building a blog that is currently the blog with the most content. It was my wife, who at the time figured that I was seriously stuck, said that I should start this site. cathabits .net is well, more likely our baby, not exactly my burning passion. We do love cats, we have 5 of our own and had many projects as fosterparents for different cats from the cat protection locally. The blog has a lot of content. I have stopped producing content for it some 5 months back, but might now just pick it up again.

We haven't been entirely standing still with it. We took it to Twitch and started a podcast and are also still active in social media. I've also been busy with repurposing content and fixing up existing content.

What Is Your Passion?

Do I really burn for cats or their well-being? I do care about them yes, especially my own. Do I make it my passion to make everyone knowledgeable about them? Perhaps a bit, but not as a passionate person but as a teacher.

This is the one thing I have figured so far about myself. I love to teach people stuff. STUFF. It doesn't have to be cats, or how to make money online or solar panels or why people should have an electric car, or how they should stress down (or bake bread, buy shit etc).

My most recent take on it is that I need to coach, teach, explain, help others in doing what passion they want to live, what dreams they want to make come true. That is what I will do here at WA as well as on one of my existing domains. I got one existing domain that goes by my own full name. The same full name that I recently changed on this page, but that won't matter.

I also plan to document my journey of understanding and finding myself through blogging, vlogging and social media.

Did you make your passion, your business? Or are you still struggling with finding your number 1 thing you want to do for the rest of YOUR life?
