When asked this question, what's the first thing that comes to your mind? Some might say it's being a singer, doctor, or an actor/actress. But, you shouldn't mistake your talent for passion because they are two different things.
According to Angela ducworth on amazon, she said "passion is not something that just happens overnight, it is born through practice"
"If you aren't passionate about anything right now, it may just mean that you haven't dedicated enough time and practice to a particular interest"
On the 6th of march, I was opportune to attend an online masterclass. Which was organized by marina de Giovanni

and she titled it, "how to be influential on Instagram".
At the beginning of the class, she told us her story about how she started. One of the things she said that caught my attention was that "most people tend to confuse their talent for passion". Yes, and that's just the truth.

Before that class, I used to think that my passion was singing and I was so sure of it, because I find myself singing all the time and it also brings up my mood. But,later on, I discovered that wasn't the case. But the thing is, After finding out what my passion was, I became faced with lack of confidence. I felt like, I wasn't good enough and couldn't compare with others,
So I decided to ignore it.
But In her story, she said that she used to be very discouraged about everything she did because despite all the efforts she put in making it so perfect, it still didn't work out.
So she thought that to become influential, you need connections and also you need to be wealthy. But she never knew that all she needed was for her to be herself and believe in her work. this finding helped her in discovering her passion and knowing what she truly wanted to do.

How was she able to discover her passion?
To do that, you just need to start with all of the things you are engaged with on a regular basis.
For instance;
_What do you like to think about?
_Where does your mind always wander to?
_What questions do people ask you?
_What do you really care about?
_How do you enjoy spending your time?
_What does your internet browser history look like?
_What does your email inbox look like? And who do you subscribe to via email?
After answering all this questions , you will find out that there is a particular thing you find great pleasure in doing without even realising it.

After finding out what it is, be confident in it and eliminate every bad thought about it. Be yourself and don't try to be too perfect nor lazy about it. Just do it the way you would want to do it, in other words, don't try to impress anyone with it.
And lastly, believe in it
