What is Your Passion?

By: The Rich Dad Coaching Team

With everything we approach in life, we can come at it from a place of fear or a place of passion.

Fear breeds passivity and disappointment.

Regardless of what a person’s balance sheet says today, you can tell whether he or she will become rich or stay poor by their passion.

The thoughts and words of the poor are slogans of fear.

They sound like this:

I can’t afford to do that right now.

What if it doesn’t work out?

I wouldn’t even know where to start.

Rich dad’s slogans are the words and thoughts of passion.

Words that reflect confidence and energy are:

I can’t afford not to do this now.

I can make things better.

I might not know everything now, but I can take that first step.

Passion is more than just a positive attitude.

True passion is what motivates you to think creatively, to not take “no” for an answer, to pick yourself up when you get knocked down, and to keep pushing forward because you can’t imagine not realizing your passion.

Take for example Mark Zuckerberg, creator of the social networking site Facebook.

In addition to being CEO and President of Facebook, Zuckerberg was named Time magazine’s Person of the Year in 2010. Why does this matter you might ask?

Zuckerberg is a prime example of someone whose passion drove him to realize his vision … or as Robert Kiyosaki calls it, a strong business mission.

Zuckerberg has stated, “The thing I really care about is [Facebook's] mission, making the world open.”

By being passionate, Mark was able to realize his passion and accomplish what most people only dream about.

He is now the world’s youngest billionaire.

Do you know what your passion or mission is?

Many people don’t, and they have a hard time finding it.

Once you become aware of your passion, you can determine your mission and begin to feed it. This in turn will feed the drive that will make your dreams come true.
