Dear Human 💕,

I noticed that whenever a human feels lost and starts to wonder what they want their life to be all about, another human will ask them “What’s your passion?” or tell them “Just follow your passion.”

M**w this. For some reason, many humans believe that you need to find your passion first, and then everything will magically fall into place. That’s not how life works. Not for cats. And certainly not for humans.

Most humans I met, could not tell me what their passion is. The reality is that most humans do not have that one thing they are passionate about. They don’t have that one thing that drives everything in their life and gives their life meaning.

I also met some humans who could tell me what they are passionate about. And I found out that they are not passionate about one thing either. They are passionate about many different things.

How did those humans find out what they are passionate about?

Well, they did not wake up one morning and felt passionate about something and then followed that passion. Instead, they did something new and then realized they enjoyed it. And because they enjoyed it, they kept doing it. It engaged them. It energized them. It excited them. It turned into something they are passionate about.

To figure out what you want your life to be about, you don’t need to find your passion.

To figure out what you want your life to be about, you only need to be curious about yourself. Pay attention to how you spend your time and discover those things that you enjoy. What engages you? What energizes you? What is fun? What excites you? What brings you to life?

Make time for all those things in your life. Build your life around them. Whatever brings you to life is what you want your life to be about.

Yours,
Cat🐾

P.S.  If you feel like there’s not much you enjoy right now, then try something new. You won’t know if you enjoy something if you don’t give it a try. And to enjoy it, you don’t need to be good at it. If you enjoy it, it’s worth doing it. And if you keep doing it, you’ll probably get better.
