I was raised to not believe in passion but to just work hard and don’t depend on anyone so now I am struggling on receiving help, or even knowing how I can follow and find my passion

Love your videos.
As a asian descendant I felt big deal of pressure to do something amazing with my life and here I am at 45 starting from zero (again).
Two years ago I felt like I let everybody down, but now I don't care what people might or may not say. This new feeling scares me a bit but the liberty to do what I'm passionate to do is stronger.
Thank you ❤

Feeling so lost with career options as I feel like I only know what I don't like, but not what I truly like. This video came out at such perfect timing. Thank you Laurie.

Bless your heart for this teachings. Thank you again! You're my hero 🌺🌹

Great point on how it's not about finding this single career or title that's "the" passion, and ikigai can lead to a more fulfilling and purposeful life.

Your insights really hit home. I love how you emphasize exploring different interests and being patient with the process. Something I really struggled with.

Its not about passion, its about expectations.

I know deep inside that I have a lot of potential but I feel lost.. Like I do not know what I want to do and how to start or where to start from.. I find myself in one loop everyday.. same spot same zone everyday.. Bed to kitchen to school back to the kitchen, laundry room, living room then back to school then hom then bed... A closed loop every signle day with nothing new in my life.. My brain is full of things.. but zero action in my life.. I cannot determine what I can or want to do.. 💔

My passion is to sit at a tiki bar on a pacific island beach sipping on rum runners at night and surfing all day. I used to surf all day as a teen, I was happy then.

Can relate to everything you say. I’m glad I found your channel.

I quit my job almost 2 years ago teaching at university where I realised that I do love teaching but not the subject that I was teaching and I had spent years learning and specialising in. I love sharing my knowledge and things I’ve learned with others but I’ve not been able to figure out what I can actually teach others that I am actually interested in. I guess I need to recognise or learn a skill that I enjoy enough to then help others with it. Still struggling with it though. 😅

most ppl just go into fields that have big growth, make money. passions and love don't pay the bills and its for ppl who have generational wealth already. passion jobs usually don't pay much either
