How to Find Your Passion

“Passion exists at the intersection of three of more things you’re really curious about.” - Steven Kotler

I never understood how you could be even looking for a passion... the world is so full of wonder and amazing ways of spending your time, how can you possibly not see it all? Painting, piano, base jumping, sculpting, languages, sport... there are hundreds upon hundreds of things you could immerse yourself in.

You keep inspiring me in every shot of awe! Motivates me so much to keep going and follow my passion!
Big thank you :)

It's reassuring to hear that my curiosity is helpful in the long run. Many people have treated it as something that is silly, or needs to be "fixed". Modern society does the same thing; it wants us to accept what's at face value, without questioning the external nor the internal world. I am sick of it. I will not abide to that! I'll stand my ground in regards to my love for wonder; I will use my curiosity to change the world. Thank you Jason. 👌 You won't be disappointed!

Hi Jason, With each and every post you give me hope and inspiration! You've shown me a path to myself that I would have missed if not for your Amazing talent to communicate the real importance of living a meaningful life! Thanks

[zackberesheim]

Inspiring. This has been the biggest struggle of my life thus far: The fight of sacrificing who I am now, for what I could become. For years I've been trying to figure out my passion(s), and this has renewed some hope that I can still find it, or perhaps create it if it does not yet exist. Thank you Jason, and Shots of Awe. Your videos never cease to inspire, educate, and enlighten.

Stephen Kotler is amazing, reading "The Rise Of Superman" at the minute and learning about "flow"

[BRSIE]

I love how there is a TEDx Talks video next to this one with the title 'Stop searching for your passion'

[ponnyshlam]

absolutely beautiful and mind blowing as always! We are all wired to fulfill our purpose on earth, so beginning with your curiosity is definitely a great strategy - at least the word "curiosity" is less intimidating than the word "Purpose". Thank you for the clarity and energy Jason!
