3 steps to help you live an authentic life

1.  Ask yourself what is your passion? The dictionary defines passion as a strong or extravagant fondness, enthusiasm, or desire for anything. Is it coming to you now? When you think of your passion does it make you excited? Does it bring a smile to your face? Does it bring fear? No one can answer that for you. What would you love to even if you didn't receive a pay for? Many of us live our lives doing jobs we hate and dying inside. Why? This isn't a dress rehearsal. We only have one life and this is it.

2. Figure out what it is that brings you joy and do it. Do your research. Read the book on it. Find someone who is doing what you want to do and hang out with them and pick their brain. Count up the cost. Give yourself permission to disappoint those who may disagree with you. We do ourselves a disservice living a lie and not living in truth. God didn't put you on this earth to just be a mom or just be a dad or to just exist. But to thrive, to make a difference and to change lives. But remember it is not our job to "save the world". That's God's job! But it is our job to be the example of what God can do through us.

3. GO DO IT!  Pursue your dreams. Because if you love what you do, you'll never work another day in your life! Then come back and tell me what you did!
