Re: I have no passion in life
Hello,
I have the opposite problem. I become motivated to do everything and end up doing things really intensely for a short time, then switching focus to another thing, go to another thing, go back to the first thing, and it then takes everything a long time to get done. On the upside, I know how to do a little bit of many things!
For me, in my 16-20 years I had a rule that was "never say no to a new experience if it didn't harm you or someone else or conflicted with your moral values." Then I really tried my hardest to really enjoy what I was doing, even though I may have hated it to start with. I also never said "I can't" In fact I hate the word "can't" I don't believe it is really a word, it is just a shorter way of saying "I choose not to". Instead of saying "I can't" I change that phrase to "How can I" This keeps my brain out of a lethargy filled with pity.
I tried caring what
people thought of me in grade school and middle school. I HATED IT! If you don't mind making a total fool of yourself, if you don't care about making a dork of yourself, if you are just out to have fun, life is good. People should never dictate your life. Because honestly, you will never be as good as the popular people and honestly those popular people will never be as good as you. This means that you are the only you and that is what makes you liked. If Jim Carry did what was "normal" he wouldn't be Jim Carry. So don't be afraid of doing what you feel like doing. your feelings are right more than you are.
When talking to people, ask questions more than talk. Even if the question is dumb, if it is about the other person, it works. Don't be afraid of being too personal either. I find people love talking about themselves, and once I began asking people personal questions like: "How did your weekend go? How did your date with Fred go? Wher
e do you live? What are your plans after college? How do you feel about ending this year?... People started liking me a whole lot more. I don't say I'm a good socializer, but I can hold my own and to my annoyance people love to choose me to lead them...
Some great books for mindset and motivation are the Rich Dad books. They deal with financial education, but they also work on personal development and motivation. Sales books are fantastic when it comes to pushing away your fear of rejection.
Life is a game and life is there to be lived, so I will live!
