I Insist that You Take These Free Passions and Skills Tests Today

 

Never before in mankind's history had we so many choices and opportunities to follow our true calling, to do what we really love doing, and that doesn't feel like work while getting paid for it. The problem? Decision paralysis. Too many choices. And another concern? Instant gratification wanted. But there is a vital step everyone can and should take to not fall into the trap 90% of other people do.

Of course, I blame Facebook for shortening people's attention spans with their ridiculous 4-seconds 'reels', and Mark Skunkerberg encouraging short posts instead of proper writing. This got people of that morally rotten social network to jump from dopamine boost to the next in seconds. His money-hungry, controlling Orwellian empire cultivated a culture of people not following through on a task when the going gets tough, and not being tough enough to keep going.

But anyway, let me jump on that short bus too and do just a brief blog post here. Read it all the way, and take action then.

  Half an hour ago, I came across a post on Reddit of someone complaining she doesn't know what to do with her life. Her boyfriend is a successful content creator; they travel all over the US in their RV, but she just can't stick to one thing long enough to make a success of it. And yesterday, a 50-year-old male complained in the same subreddit that he feels he wasted his life and that he has nothing to show for it. They both wanted advice, and me to the rescue, spending the whole night doing research, hence this article. I truly hope and believe it will change your and others' lives.

  Most people never do what I'm going to recommend here, while they really know they should. In fact, once I become president, I'll make it compulsory. And here it is...

How do you know what your real passions are? Sure, you can make a list. But if you have to rank everything that interests you on a scale of 1 to 10 and things you really love doing, will you be able to rank them in order of importance? Likely, no.

How do you know what your limits are, what you are skilled at, and what your personality type really allows you to do for years? Statistics say you probably don't. This is the reason 20-year-old people throw their dreams overboard and go work for a boss to make him rich.

Hence, personality and skills tests. That's the answer. Get to know yourself first, scientifically, for real.

Enjoy life's journey to the fullest

Maybe not stand on a banana peel next time you attend a funeral, Chuckie.

WHY are you not making your hobby or passion your source of income?

 From the same article I mentioned in another post, this screenshot. I am a huge advocate that people should only do a job they have a passion for, preferably self-employed. Why would anyone want to spend 8 or more hours every day, plus another hour or two on the road to work, out of 16 hours awake, when one can rather do what you love?

When I become president of the world, I'll make it compulsory for everyone over 18 to have their skills and passions tested. It is astonishing, but if you ask a 100 people what their dream job is, they'll tell you it's not their current job. Why on earth are they not following their own passions, and rather that of someone else that do?

Anything can be monetized, and an income derived from, but the problem is, most people are afraid of themselves. They don't do introspection, and they shy away from analyzing their own strengths and weaknesses. Do yourself a favor: Invest in yourself. Get to know yourself. Ask yourself some uncomfortable questions, like: What is my one big dream? Where exactly do I want to be over exactly five years from now? And what is my exact plan and steps to get there? 99% of people cannot answer these basic questions clearly and on the spot. Can you?

 

Do as a clock and keep going

Don't give up. Turn your ultimate dream into a goal by adding a date to it, type out the steps to get there, and start doing it. Don't quit. Balance your attention between the small steps and the big goal, and keep working that plan. Occasionally adjust the steps, but keep your passion for your goal, and work your plan.

Get a cause, identify a goal, live for something!

Have one big goal. Choose one worthy cause. Pick your passion, something you really love. Make it your work, your source of income. Your passion will get you to become an expert, thus adding value to other people's lives. Live for something, or someone. Yes, you can live for someone, take that leap of faith, and invest your energy and love into someone or something. But, live life. Leave a legacy of passion.
