Developing A Passion For Life: Tips To Expand Your Horizons And Inspire Others




Summary/Abstract




In this episode of the How to Be More Attractive series, Duke from the Intimacy Liberation Army discusses how to develop and nurture a passion for life. He emphasizes the importance of having a clear vision of one's goals and a North Star to strive for. Having a passion is an activity that brings pleasure and should be rewarding for the individual. He also touches on the importance of knowing oneself and understanding what brings pleasure and joy. Duke explains that having a passion helps to create a more attractive persona and allows one to take another person along for the journey. He suggests that it is worth dedicating time to finding one's passion and it is necessary to have everything line up in order to find success.




The conversation discusses how generativity is often tied to one’s passions, and how as one gets older, this generativity and focus on helping others get back to the next generation often takes precedence. An example of this is given in the form of an older athlete who shifted from competing at a high level to now coaching and providing content on the coaching mindset and the sport itself. The conversation then suggests that those having difficulty identifying their passions should first consider their interests and passions, such as sports, programming, writing, or art.




The speaker suggests that one should sit down and make a list of the things that are important to them, as well as the things that fascinate them, in order to discover what to build their life around. It doesn't have to be something grand or extraordinary, like inventing a space rocket, but can be something as simple as being passionate about something that the media has spoon fed to us, such as celebrity gossip. As an example, the speaker mentions a girl they knew who was obsessed with the Fleetwood Mac band and ended up making a career out of it. The key is to pay attention to the things that give us energy and make us excited, as our passions can inspire others. Furthermore, we can be interested in values, such as eradicating oppression, instead of just a hobby or sport.




Finding your passion isn't always easy, but it's important to explore your interests and values to determine what you care about. Don't be afraid to try something new and don't be scared to fall on your face. Seek out mentors and role models who are doing and living the life that you want and follow their advice. Take classes, read books, and do the things they direct you to do to gain knowledge and experience. Find passion in the things that excite you, try new things, and explore the world.
