Deciding what you want to do with your life isn’t easy. You can make a change at any point, whether you’ve changed career gears before or have been with the same company for years. From soul-searching to enlisting a life coach to tap into your potential, it’s never too late to find your true calling and set up a plan that will help you succeed.

How to Find Passion in Your Career

1. Determine What Makes You Happy

Think about what you liked to do as a child and a young adult—and what you would do now if money wasn’t a factor. Most people have hobbies in their spare time or something they’ve thought about doing for a while.

If you like to draw or animate cartoons, for example, you could create small videos on the internet in your spare time. If you’re a social butterfly, open a store or think of sales jobs that might ignite your passion. Before you know it, you’ll be learning valuable skills and opening up a new avenue for yourself.

2. Research & Try New Things

What if you don’t know what makes you happy or don’t have a hobby that you enjoy? Do a bit of research and pick the pursuits you find interesting. Once something clicks with you, figure out what skills, education, and training are necessary to start a career with this passion.

There’s no time limit for determining if this new hobby is right for you, so contact a life coach to work out your fear of failure versus your general interest in the subject.

3. Don’t Give Up

Change is difficult for everyone. Pursuing a passion can be taxing on self-esteem because you may not be the best when you’re first starting out. Remind yourself not to give up. The greater your passion, the longer you should keep trying. It will take a lot of effort and work on your part to succeed at whatever you’re doing, but keep your eye on the end result. Realizing your full potential will expand your life in ways you might not expect.
