Passion is the Gas on Your Road Trip to Success by Anastasia Netri

When a person decides to step out of their comfort zone, push back the boundaries and move into the unknown, they are embarking on a journey. When you set out on any journey, you must first make sure you have fuel - or you won't go anywhere. Passion is the fuel that will always power you on the journey to success.

Most of the time, people feel like success with enable their passions to be realized. IT IS THE OTHER WAY AROUND. Passions enable success to be realized!

It is crucial to define what success truly is, and this is changing as we evolve. Many people understand success as having fulfillment and purpose in their lives. Have you met someone that has money but not fulfillment? This person may attain all the awards, fame, and still feel empty. This is not true success, it's actually nothing more than a bunch of things. No matter what the commercials say, things will not lead to fulfillment. However, if you feel fulfilled, "things" can be quite enjoyable! True success is having the whole package - love, freedom, money, and your passions alive in daily life.

I have been an entrepreneur for many years now. I have seen that when I lose my passion for something I cannot sustain motivation for doing it every day. It takes a lot of energy to completely self motivate when no one else is handing you a paycheck. It gets too easy to put things off, sleep late, or watch TV when passion is not a driving force in daily life.

I have a couple of recommendations for you to help you find your passion:

1. Hire a coach

I not only am a coach, I have a coach. When I understood that I needed help, my life (and my business) really began to take off. I don't know any successful entrepreneurs that have done it without a lot of help. They have been to countless seminars, read books, and hired coaches. At some point, they went deep inside to get in touch with their true desires and uncover what was in their way. The really successful people had to overcome something too, just like you do. A good coach can be an enormous help and save you a lot of time and frustration.

2. Write, write, write

This is a really effective way to stay in alignment with your passions. Writing it down brings you clarity! You've heard about making a business plan, right? Well, you may or may not need a business plan, but writing and getting clear on not only what action you need to take, but why you're doing it is really essential to true success. What benefit does all of this have in the world, and in your own life? Having this written down will be a beacon when you feel lost, you will always know exactly why you're doing it.

Your passions, those things that excite you in life, that is how your soul is communicating with you. It is through your feelings that you are guided to your destiny. It is through your destiny that you experience fulfillment. This is why you're here. You have a gift the world is waiting for. Inside those passions are those gifts. Taking the time to identify them is an investment that pays off for everyone. You have what it takes to succeed in every way, the seed is inside you right now. Water it.
