@jay_yow07 asks an interesting question:

. . . . . .

"So, I am into different things, almost too many, and they change almost all the time!
So my question for you is, how do you find your passion? How do you know if that's your passion? And if it's a bad thing that you keep changing it?"

. . . . . .

I feel your pain.

And it just so happens that...

This is a subject which I have spent a lot of time studying, researching, and experimenting with over the last 20 years. Mostly because I had the same issues and "internal conflicts" long ago when I was first starting out.

"Why do I have so many passions? Why does the passion fizzle out after a while? Why does my passion keep on changing? What is my true passion?"

All of them were questions I at one time asked myself. Again and again. Day after day.

It was only after several years of "trial and error" and "mass knowledge acquisition" that I was finally able to find the answer to the puzzle and crack the code at last.

And the results have been life-changing.

So, shall we begin?

( *take note that... in this idea list, I use the words "passion" and "strength" interchangeably, because over the years I've found that... all a passion really is, is an "undeveloped strength" or "unrefined raw talent"... and as you refine and develop it, it changes from a conflicted passion into a reliable strength.)

    1. The One Question You Must Answer If You Ever Want To Know What Your True Passion Really Is

    My "career" has been fairly long and varied. It has spanned across multiple fields.

    I am an artist, designer, engineer, scientist, programmer, doctor, chef, marketer, entrepreneur, musician, professional gamer, lean practitioner, and lots more.

    When most people hear this, their eyes pop open wider than the doors of a Walmart on Black Friday.

    But when I ask them this next question, the damage spreads from their eyes... all the way up to their brains:

    "I do so many different things. Can you guess what my passion really is?"

    Interesting question. With an interesting answer.

    But to get to the answer, let's first delve into a little bit of history... about people with similar personality types as us... and how the "self help" field surrounding this group of people has developed over the years.

Passion is created and developed, rarely found :)

    1. Identify you values

    0
    First thing first, know what you stand for. Your core values. A true passion is created only when it is congruent with your values. I could have developed a passion for gambling when I played roulette a couple of times when I was in Vegas, but instead, I just enjoyed it for a bit and stopped.

Don't look for your passion, don't put that sort of pressure on yourself. I'd reframe the entire idea as follows:

    1. Stay curious

    A key part of successful aging is learning new things. A passion of mine is volunteer firefighting. I never thought about being a firefighter but moved to a community served by a VFD so I tried it. It quickly became a huge part of my life, a passion. If it turned out to be something I wasn't passionate about then maybe I'd have a much lesser sense of engagement.
