The 52-Week Life Passion Project: Uncover Your Life Passion

by Barrie Davenport

FIND YOUR LIFE Discover What Makes You Come Alive and Design Your Life Around What You Love Ready to leave boredom, frustration, and unhappiness behind? Want to connect with your dreams for a life of purpose that ignites your enthusiasm? Right now you might be in a job you hate, a career you know is wrong for you, or you simply feel your life is stale and passionless. You long to wake up in the morning, eager to start your day, excited about your work, a project, or a side-gig that lights your fire. You know there has to be more for you. You know you aren’t living or working to your fullest potential, using the skills, creativity, and interests that feel natural and engaging. You’re ready to make a change — the only problem is you don’t know how to go about it. You have no idea what your passion might be or how to start looking for it. Or if you do have an inking about your passion, it seems impossible to fit it in to your life right now. Investigate + Uncover + Experiment = A Passionate New You The first step toward finding your passion is to become a private investigator of your own life. You need to discover exactly what makes you tick, who you are, what you value, and what motivates you and makes you feel happy, purposeful, and engaged. You also must examine and demystify the beliefs and behaviors holding you back from change and challenging the status quo. Next you want to uncover all of the possible interests, skills, and dreams that could potentially contribute to your passion or evolve into an exciting new direction for your work or life. Finally, you’ll prioritize and experiment with these various “leads” to gain actual experience and feedback and gain more clarity. As you learn about yourself and gather and test ideas, you’ll be shaping your passion step-by-step, week-by-week, based on your new self-awareness and real-world insights. Upgrade How Passion Can Change Your Life Whether you want a total career overhaul or to simply add more excitement to your life with a hobby or side gig, finding your passion will upgrade every aspect of your life. When you discover that “something” that ignites your enthusiasm and makes you come alive again, your joy and motivation will skyrocket. You’ll find your relationships are happier, you’re inspired to improve yourself in other ways, and your outlook is more positive in general. Research shows that those who are doing work they love tend to be more successful and make better incomes than those who don’t feel passionate. They report being happier, healthier, and more inclined to take calculated risks and accept more challenging projects. Even if you can’t make a career change now, you can still apply your passion in other areas of your life and enjoy the benefits in your off-work hours. The weekly lessons taught in The 52-Week Life Passion Project will lead you on the journey from the life you have now to a passionate new life, as you implement change every week.

So far it has been very enlightening. Has helped me look at the innermost desires that have been a part of my life since childhood and how to implement that into my life currently.

Practical steps

A very easy read and most relatable to daily life. Good questions at the end of chapters serve as a good reflection.
