Discover the three main reasons why many people fail to discover their passion in life.

1. Why we fail to discover our
passion
HOW TO DEVELOP A SUCCESSFUL CAREER

2. 1st reason: Family influence
The main reason why many of us fail to find our
passion is because we are influenced by external
factors.
The first influence comes from our family.
If our family does not support and believe in our
passion, then we will start to doubt ourselves.
If our family does not approve in our dream, then we
believe that we should not continue to pursue that
dream.

3. Your family will not
understand
As a young child growing up, you have always heard the
saying; your family knows what is best and they always
looks out for you because they love you.
While that is true, when it comes to your passion, no one
will understand what your passion is, except for you.
When your family does not understand your passion, they
cannot support you.
Since you put your trust in your family, it has blinded you to
see your passion clearly, which prevent you to follow it.

4. 2nd reason: Other people
successes
The second influence is from other people’s successes.
When we see others who have meaningful careers, we
also want to develop the same kind of life purpose for
ourselves.
However, it does not matter how hard we try to become
successful like others we will not become successful
because we do not have the same strengths and talents
as them.

5. Focus on your strengths and
talents
If you want to develop the same kind of meanings and
purposes in your life, you must discover and follow your
own passion.
The main reason why other people’s lives seem
wonderful is because they are focusing on their passion.
Even though you might not accomplish the same things
as other people when you focus on your passion, you will
still be able to reach the same level of greatness, success,
and happiness as others.

6. 3rd reason: Lack of self
understanding
The third failure is the lack of understanding of oneself.
When you do not understand who you are as a person,
such as your strengths and talents, you cannot discover
your passion.
As a result, you will settle for less or rely on other people
and things to help you discover your passion.
However, the moment you rely on external factors, you
will fail to find your passion.
