I believe most of us kill our own passions (not talking about sex, this time :)), in one way or another. I know I have, and I suspect you have too. Which one of these five is your primary passion killer? The thing that keeps you from moving towards your dreams, expressing your passions, and moving forward?
Top 5 Passion Killers
- Fear
- Doubt
- Procrastination
- Lack of Clarity
- Lack of Support
Leave me a comment below. Discussing this actually helps to put the focus on it and thereby helps you deal with it.
Damn. I totally clicked over to this post thinking it was about sex. 😛 Seriously, I think what kills my passion depends on the day. Sometimes I get an idea, and I either doubt that it will work, or am not clear on how I want to make it work.
Maybe your mind is as ‘dirty’ as mine then 😀 It all depends on the day for me as well.
It’s overwhelm that is a problem for me. I’m like a rabbit in the headlights when I have too many options and stuff that I should be doing and then I get nothing done. Is that lack of clarity or doubt or both? (Or fear of doing the wrong thing?) More options – aaargh!
Overwhelm would defninitely be on the list if the list was longer. I limited myself to 5 this time. I know the feeling.
Lack of clarity, I want to know exact steps…sometimes I feel out of step, or…there has to be an easier way to do something…
The only easier way is to take it one step at a time, even if you don’t know the next one. It’s easy to get caught up in wanting the whole picture. If I hadn’t limited myself to 5, I would have added perfectionism as #6.
For me? It’s totally the lack of funds. It totally stinks however, I hang onto the hope of “someday”. 🙂
That’s definitely a place I’m way too familiar with. Let’s hope we both hit the jackpot 🙂
My passion killers are fear and doubt…
