Passion is that sentiment of excitement, exhilaration, and enthrallment you get when you finally find something that sets your soul on fire.
It is that driving force that makes you go above and beyond your comfort zones, opening your eyes to potentials and opportunities you never knew existed.
It's something that entices you into this rabbit hole of curiosity.
It's that thing that gives you a reason to wake up every day and move one step closer to finally earning it regardless of whatever it may be.

There is no illustrative explanation of passion; It's different for each one of us. It is entirely instinctive and will hit you when you least expect it.

Now that we know what passion is, how do you know you have found it?

• HOW DO YOU KNOW IF YOU HAVE FOUND YOUR PASSION?

The sanest thing about passion is that is an extremely generalized concept and your connotation is what makes it unique for YOU.

Your passion can be anything that brings you a kind of satisfaction you have never felt before. It can be anything that allows you to shape a future out of it if we're talking realistically.

Your passion can be whatever that sparks up inventiveness in your mind, the type where you come up with the most out-of-the-box ideas which are entirely your own.

It can range from the elaborate study of neuroscience to breathtaking wildlife photography.
It candidly relies on your skillset and interests.

"Creativity is having that lightning bolt idea moment, and then having the work ethic to sit down at the desk and work on it." 

-Taylor Swift

All you need to do, is analyze yourself, find out what is something that doesn't drain you when you do it all day. Something that brings you feelings of peace, satisfaction, and confidence from within. You lose track of time, you are dead set focused on that thing, it doesn't exhaust you, its what makes you wanna do it even more. If you think you have found such a forte already, kudos my friend;
You're gonna be unstoppable now.

• HAVE I FOUND MY PASSION?

In the most straightforward words ever, YES!!!

That was precisely why I chose to write about this topic. Believe me or not, This was exactly the kind of charge I felt when I found out, I was like, okay...I kinda get it now.

This is what it feels like to have finally found a purpose in life. When I tell you I felt exactly the things I wrote above, I'm not kidding. It was like I went on a journey of self-discovery and found a new and improved version of myself.

Again, life is all about discovering things and experiences that make you happy and a better person in life. It all comes down to what sets your soul on fire and it comes from within your heart. passion isn't something you will find in a day, you're gonna have to have patience and make an effort for yourself to find things that make you happy.
