This Sunday Funday Follow Your Passions With Amida Wealth

According to Merriam Webster, “passion” refers to a strong feeling of enthusiasm or excitement either for something or about doing something. Following your passion means exploring areas that spark your interest, developing your skills in a specific area, and using those skills to contribute to something beyond yourself. In other words, when you follow your passions, your energy becomes expansive because passion fuels energy. Our passions are like our own fingerprints. We are all individually unique. While some passions may be similar, there are no two passions exactly alike.

This Sunday Funday, take out your journal, and use these 4 journal prompts to get closer to your passions and enhance your wealth energy:

Discover Your Passions Journal Prompts

• What are your values & why?

Values are individual beliefs that motivate people to act one way or another. They serve as a guide for human behavior. Generally, people are predisposed to adopt the values that they are raised with. The seven core values include honesty, boldness, freedom, trust, team spirit, modesty, and responsibility.

• Make a list of 15 things you love, and make a list of 15 things you don’t love.

If your list goes beyond 15 items, keep adding to it! This journal prompt is designed to make you think about the things that light you up in life. Perhaps, it is the ocean… a beautiful breeze, the color of the night sky. Feel into what you love. Write it all down!

• Create a list of all your accomplishments.

Acknowledge all of your successes! Did you win a spelling bee in elementary school? Add it to the list. Are you getting really good at cooking? Absolutely add this to the list. Perhaps, you made it through a very challenging year. Add this to the list! Accomplishments occur every moment of the day – give yourself the credit you deserve.

• Write down your 5 favorite activities as a child.

As children, we frolic and play with no reservations. We gravitate towards what we love through our feelings. Perhaps, you felt immense joy when you cooked with your grandmother. Likewise, you may have been inspired by your neighbors fashionable clothing. Reconnect to your childhood excitement – what inspired you back then? Children are connected to the energy of passion because they follow their feelings. The more we can become a witness to the feelings behind our behaviors, the more we are able to make the necessary changes that will allow us to live a life of wealth!

Post-Journal Prompts Meditation

After completing your journal prompts, sit down in a comfortable seated position ready for meditation. Take a deep breath in and out through the nose. Give yourself 5 deep breathes – big inhale, and big exhale. Sink into your breath deeper, as you reconnect with your body and soul. Now, imagine yourself as child, and ask yourself what you want for yourself. Visualize and feel into your dream home, the activities you love to do, the jobs that light you up, the people that bring you joy, and the weather around you. What do you envision for yourself? Sit still with this thought… don’t be frustrated if the answers do not arise immediately… give yourself time to feel.

Passion In Your Work Space

People who are passionate about what they do, rather than just “in it for the money,” tend to be people who have more positive outlooks and can overcome difficulty through problem-solving. In other words, the more passionate someone is about their job, the more inclined they are to work hard on self-improvement, increasing their chances of success. “Worker Passion” is something that motivates us to dig into the tough problems and sustains us through challenges and setbacks. This type of passion brings out our desire to figure something out, to learn faster, to make an impact. Steve Jobs, of Apple, once said, “People with passion can change the world for the better.”

Amida Wealth Family Conversations

At your next family or friends gathering encourage a topic about passions. Perhaps, you can share these journaling prompts and go through the answers together. Ask your family and friends – what did they feel most excited about as children? Notice what lights them up as adults. You will see a spark and energy in their eyes! Use this opportunity to reconnect with the ones that you love, learn more about their soul, and share your wealth energy!

Final Thoughts

Entering into the New Year 2023, we encourage you to reconnect with your passions. Remember that passion fuels energy. Take the time to figure out what intrigues you in life! In the world we live in, it’s necessary to make money, but that doesn’t mean it needs to be our top priority when choosing our careers. Ultimately, you will do better and work your way up faster at a job you genuinely care about. Above all, remember living a life of wealth is fueled by living a life of passion and purpose.
