First, choose to discover your passion. If you don't know what your passion is, get ready for a wonderful journey. Whatever it is, try it. Start with your hobbies and keep going until you find that one thing that keeps you smiling and makes you feel good.
Second, choose your inner circle. Separate yourself from people without vision if their energy holds you back rather than motivating you to move forward. After a conversation or visit with someone ask yourself if you feel more or less optimistic about achieving your goals. If more, keep them close around. If less, love them from a distance for a while until you are more grounded in your commitment.
Third, choose to educate yourself. Don't rely on others to know what you should know. Take the time to get the information and develop the skills you need. Connect with people who ARE DOING what you want to do. (Not those who were doing or who are talking about doing.) When you have the information for yourself, you are in the best position for making critical decisions. No one and no circumstance can take away your skill or knowledge.
Fourth, choose your empowerment vehicle. How are you going to power your passion? How will you generate the extra income and restructure your life so you have the time to develop your passion?
Each day, take another step. If our choices (or lack thereof) make such a big difference; let's make choices everyday that will take us closer to living a purpose-driven life.
