How do I find my passion?

In answer to the Quora question: "How do I find my passion?"

Thanks for the A2A. I seem to be arriving to this party late, as there are already over 100 answers! However I will add my perspective, though I suspect it may already be represented in the other posts....

1) For a deeper look into your being and to appreciate your personal sense of passion and purpose, practice self-inquiry styles of meditation until you arrive at the answers you seek. Connecting with your innermost Self is going to provide not only insight, but resounding clarity along with the fires of conviction. This process, which involves allowing yourself to be still and to listen carefully with your innermost senses, will likely take a few weeks - if not months - of daily practice to bear fruit.

2) For a more superficial angle on career path issues, I would definitely take the Clifton StrengthsFinder assessment and do the exercises in the book to see what that has to say. It will provide you with some great insights into your innate strengths.

3) Consider taking the Integral Lifework Nourishment Assessment to see what areas of your life need more attention; once you begin nourishing those areas you may encounter the passion you seek as one of many benefits.

Those are my 2 cents. I hope this was helpful.
