FOLLOWING YOUR PASSIONS WILL BRING YOU JOY

By: Healthy Wealthy nWise

Patrick Combs is a comedic entertainer. He's also the best-selling author of Major in Success and an inspirational speaker. To Patrick, you simply can't separate joy and passion. Joy is what happens when you follow your passions. When you're not following your passions, doing something you don't truly love each day, it can make you sick.

Obviously Patrick Combs has had many successes in his life. How did he do it? One step at a time. He'll be the first to tell you that concentrating on too many things at once will produce failure. You have to reach one passion at a time, making it a building block for the next. It all comes down to fear and faith. Fear is thinking something bad might happen without having proof of it. Faith is the opposite. Faith is hoping something will happen without having proof of it.

Easier said than done? Yes, it's true. Taking things one step at a time and having faith in yourself is hard. Patrick Combs knows this all too well. He once had too many "shoulds" in the way as well. We all have our "shoulds" - things we don't really feel like doing but that need to be done. We all daydream about our passions while doing something mundane. Taking things one step at a time means putting your "should" priorities in order.

Week by week, prioritize your "shoulds." There are always things you think you should be doing that you don't really need to be doing. They're either not important or they're things someone else could be doing. Start at the bottom of your priority list and replace one of your "shoulds" with something you'd really like to be doing. Each week, replace another one. In no time your life will be full of passions rather than cluttered with "shoulds".

Your inner self makes prioritizing your "shoulds" harder than it should be. We all deal with insecurities, obstacles, fierce hardships, and doubts. When we get past those, we're unstoppable! Patrick Combs coaches people through the insecure inner self and transforms them into the successful inner self.

Did someone point out your failures today? Did someone tell you to get your head out of the clouds? If so, I bet you're going to bed feeling like a quitter. Patrick Combs is one coach who'll tell you to "sleep on it". If you wake up still feeling like a quitter, still listening to that doubtful voice in your head, you're probably not concentrating on your passions. If, however, you wake up ready to give your passions another try, you have the heart of a champion and can overcome adversities.

When working toward passions, Patrick Combs encourages people to keep a journal. Don't write down the awful things you hear. Write down only the encouraging words people have for you. Read them over and over. Take the comments to heart, and strive to do better. If you want to be a singer but can't carry a tune, sing! If you want to be a writer, write! Learn by doing, and don't give up.

If you're going to be successful, you'll have to go through a daily roller coaster ride. Patrick Combs rode it each day as well. It took three long years of mental roller coasters to become a successful comedian.
