Only you can discover your passion.
If you’ve spent many years caught up in the daily grind, it might take awhile for you to figure out what lights you on fire. And that’s okay. Give
yourself the time and freedom to dream big. It’s
never too late to start living with passion.
Get the most out of this workbook:
• Set aside at least half a day to work on these questions
• Go somewhere quiet and peaceful, alone
• Get rid of distractions: turn off your phone and computer; completely unplug
• Give each question ample time and revisit questions later if needed
• Let your imagination run wild
• As you start truly thinking of living with passion, the fearful “common sense” side of you will kick into high gear with a million reasons why you can’t or shouldn’t dream big. Give yourself the freedom to dream big and think of a life full of possibilities. You deserve it.
IT’S TIME TO COME ALIVE AND SPEND YOUR TIME DOING WHAT YOU LOVE.
1. When in your life have you felt the most alive?
2. What makes you happiest?
3. What do you get so into, that you lose track of time when you do it?
4. If you had unlimited resources and the ability to do anything you wanted with your time, what would you do?
5. What aspects about your personality do people compliment you on?
6. What angers you the most?
7. What scares you the most about the world?
8. Who inspires you? Why do you look up to them? Is there a common trait your mentors have?
9. Whose lifestyle do you wish was yours?
10. What comes naturally to you? Think about the times when something has ‘clicked’ for you that others struggle with.
11. What makes you incredibly excited?
12. If you had a free hour to browse your favorite bookstore, what section would you go to?
13. What is your favorite section in the newspaper?
14. What would you do if you knew you would not fail?
15. What would you like your priorities to be?
16. What is your ideal work day like? (What time do you get up? What do you wear? What is your schedule? Are you alone or surrounded by people?)
17. What makes you a good friend? (Are you a ridiculously good listener, encouraging, supportive, or handy?)
18. If you have free time, do you consistently daydream about something?
19. What is your dream vacation? What does your destination represent? (Hiking may indicate you love being active, vacationing with a group of friends may indicate you’re very social, traveling solo may indicate you value independence.)
20. What are 3 of your biggest strengths?
21. What type of conversations can you not help but eavesdrop on?
22. If you had the means to solve one big problem in the world, what would it be?
23. What do you want people to say about you at your funeral?
24. If you could conquer your fears, what would you do?

COME ALIVE & SPEND YOUR TIME DOING WHAT YOU LOVE
25. What do you like to learn about?
26. If you knew everyone in your life would be fine and your relationships would not suffer, what wild dream would you chase?
27. If you knew your interests could bring you financial abundance, what would you do?
28. What do you want to be known for?
29. If you could snap your fingers and have your dream job right now, what would you be doing?
30. How do you want to make the world better?
Now that you’ve answered the questions, look for patterns.
• Do the majority of your answers indicate that you seek freedom and adventure? Or, do you desire more structure? Your answers may provide insight about what kind of work day is ideal to you.
• Have you felt most alive, happy, and excited when you’ve cared for others in your life, indicating that a caregiving role is possibly something you’d love?
• Is there a social problem in the world that infuriates you beyond belief, and you’d love to solve it if you had the resources and could figure out how? Start studying people who have fought for social change.
• Are the majority of your role models entrepreneurs? Exploring the business you want to start may be a good idea.

4 Action Steps to Take This Week:
• Start spending 5 minutes per day on something that interests you. If you’re longing to write a book, write a couple sentences per day. If you crave working in the medical field, read a medical journal article online. Take baby steps toward living the life of your dreams. As you start spending tiny amounts of time devoted to your newfound interest, a couple things may happen: you will either love doing the activity, and your momentum will build and you’ll do more of it, or you’ll find out it’s not something you love to do, and you’ll ditch it. Either way, you’ll be one step closer to finding your true passion.
• Find an accountability partner. Tell someone what you’re passionate about and set a small initial goal toward living a passionate life. Share your goal with your accountability partner.
• Do something new. Sign up for a random class through community ed. Try a new activity. You never know what you might love! Taking action will help you find your passion.
• Email me at kerry@yourstreamlinedlife.com. Let me know what has kept you stuck in your life. I can help you get unstuck.
