Passion Locator – Study Guide

For Everyone

dreamcatcherIs this all there is?
Why does my life seem dull, passionless?
I need to do something, but what?

VITALITY & MEANING: We want vitality and meaning. But, healthy cravings for being purposeful may be smothered in our need to pay the bills, to be responsible, to have a good work ethic and/or wanting to be realistic. Sometimes we CAN marry purpose with passion. But, that’s not always possible.

WHAT’S MISSING? We sense there must be something more…but what? Some of us have the innate qualities or robustness to risk for our secret dreams. We long for more passion in life and we can make it happen. But many of us may allow responsibilities, habits, fears and lack of motivation to continue patterns that preserve boredom, low-grade suffering or dispassionate mediocrity. The source of our dissatisfaction may just be a lack of ideas or options.

UNCOVER BURNING DESIRES: This handbook walks you through steps to uncover your natural burning desires. You will be able to move the topics from just ideas to being able to strategize ways of trying them in a practical manner so your day-to-day life is true to what you love to do and the person you want to be.

TRUE TO YOU: Experience your unique vision and interests which are true to your style and start setting your goals to transform thoughts and dreams into reality.
