So here it goes.
"Passion and satisfaction go hand in hand, and without them, any happiness is only temporary, because there's nothing to make it last."
I got this nice quote from Nicholas Spark's Dear John.
This quote is telling us that we need to do our passion and at the same time be satisfied with the results we are getting. In that way, we can have total satisfaction.
But most of the time, we are stuck in determining our passion.
I would like to focus my thoughts on finding your passion on this post.
HOW TO DETERMINE YOUR PASSION?

I remember a facebook wall comment from my mentor Jomar Hilario. He is suggesting that to know our passion, we write down hundred things we love doing. Then try it out one by one. From that list, we can determine that thing we are very passionate about. The thing that enables you to enjoy waking up in the morning even though there are a lot of resistance to do that certain task (cold weather, lack of sleep, etc) is your passion.
By the way, in doing this exercise don't limit yourselves with what is real and what is not. You'll be surprised that anything is really possible.
I remember last year, Edel and I realized one of our passions. We realized that we love to travel. We are passionate to conquer the world by visiting beautiful places, meeting new people and experiencing different cultures.
We had no budget for travel by that time but I told her that "don't worry, before this year ends we will go to Cebu". Do you know what happened? Days after that, we received a text message from our friend looking for ten volunteers who will facilitate and lead delegates all over the country on their historical field trip to Intramuros and Cebu. We immediately said yes!
It was an amazing experience. And by the way, that's my first trip to Cebu and it was for free.
Until my next post!
