What am I passionate about?

I read an article recently that gave 7 questions to help figure out what we are passionate about. They are:
1. What puts a smile on your face?
2. What do you find easy?
3. What sparks your creativity?
4. What would you do for free?
5. What do you like to talk about?
6. What makes you unafraid of failure?
7. What would you regret not having tried?

Do these questions help you with finding your true passion?

If I'm being honest, these questions didn't help me at all because my honest answers led me to hanging out in coffee shops, writing, talking to people, and sleeping in! That isn't exactly a career listed in the classifieds!

1. Writing puts a smile on my face
2. Sleeping in is something I find easy!
3. Sitting in a coffee shop with a good book or a great story idea sparks my creativity
4. I am always writing for free
5. I like to talk about Jesus, and books, and life
6. I'm usually afraid of failure in everything, so I don't think this is a valid question for me
7. I would regret not having tried to live for Christ {but what does that mean for my career goals really?}

So where do I go from here?

It's something that has been plaguing my mind a lot lately. What am I passionate about? I will be 25 in 2 months and I have no idea what the answer to that question is. To those of you reading this who know me, I would gladly welcome your input! As well as some real life careers that you think I would be best suited for!

  1. So you are supposed to write Christian books in a coffee shop after you've slept in, of course.

    1. That would be great, but unfortunately that idea doesn't really pay the bills too well!!
