#67: Advice for Finding Your Passion + Book Recommendations

Lately there's been a lot of pressure on young people to find their "passion" which can be overwhelming, daunting, and discouraging to us. In this episode, Mary shares her unconventional advice for finding your passion by actually NOT focusing on passion...

You will learn:

  • what to focus on instead of "passion" (hint: it's not what you think)
  • 5 tips for tapping into your creativity
  • a journal exercise that will help you discover your interests
  • book recommendations for self-discovery (these are books that changed Mary's life)

Remember: clarity comes from ACTION. Don’t spend all your time sitting and thinking about what you’re passionate about. Instead, start taking action on the things that set your soul on fire.

Books Recommended:

  1. The Artist's Way by Julia Cameron
  2. Big Magic by Elizabeth Gilbert
  3. Man's Search for Meaning by Viktor Frankl
  4. The Alchemist by Paulo Coehlo
