Finding Your Passion in Life – 25 Questions to Ask Yourself

In order to find your passion in life, you’ve got to be willing to become intimately familiar with yourself. You must know:

  • What drives you.
  • What inspires you.
  • What excites you.
  • What engages you.
  • What scares you.
  • What you do naturally well.
  • What you pretend to like but don’t.
  • What lies you are saying to yourself.

As you become more familiar with yourself, you will be able to determine what is most important in the limited time you have in a day, a year and even throughout your lifetime. In doing this, you can maximize your time doing more of what you love and less of what you don’t love.

Most of us are so busy reacting to events in our current lives that we don’t allow the time to examine what’s not working well and why. We certainly don’t take the time to ask ourselves those deeper, probing questions that unearth our true selves and buried longings.

If we really want to find our passion and purpose in life, we need to take the time to ask ourselves those tough and challenging questions.

Here are some profound self-reflection questions you can ask yourself to find your true passion:
