What's stoppin you?

not having a passion. got a couple interests but don't like em enough to pursue full time. maybe it's conditioning but I'd like to have that one thing I'm good at then have leisure side projects to keep me occupied but i don't have that thing nailed down.

I had this same problem. I always felt that I was fairly intelligent and had a decent amount of determination, but I had trouble putting that towards something and staying focused. It took a lot of self-reflection to realize I couldn't nail down a passion because of FEAR. I was scared to succeed and therefore scared to commit and give something 100% energy.

I was scared of what happens if I succeed. How would people change? Could I handle the new responsibilities that come with it? The beautiful thing is once you embrace what you're passionate about, it tends to overflow into everything you do, you'll be finding new passions everyday and eventually that idea,opportunity or whatever you need to breakthrough will present itself.

Nothing holding me back at the moment. I'm studying entrepreneurship and network marketing every week to sell products to quit my job within a year or two.
