The key questions you need to answer to design your dream life.

A quick thought.

When you think about your dream life, what pops out?

An image of doing something you are passionate about?

At least for most this would be the desired vision. See, we have been told that when you do something you are passionate about, then money will follow.

Most self-help and transformational coaches will probe you with the following question:

What would you do right now with your life if money were no option?

It is a super important question. Because the answer will drive you towards your passion. And for some people, it would be the only answer they need.

However, for many, it is not so straightforward.

What if your passion is not something you can monetize?

And there are plenty of such examples. You might be extremely passionate about teaching inner-city youths your passion for football (Soccer), yet your passion might not yield a lifestyle change. (I am sure there might be ways to make money from this example, like fundraising, crowdsourcing or even government assistance)

If this is you, then I will challenge you with another question.

What opportunity exists that will allow you to live your passion?

Yesterday I shared with you my thoughts on the one principle needed to design your ideal lifestyle. You can read it by clicking the below link:

We discussed the principle of leverage and duplication.

So then, what opportunities can you pursue that will give you leverage and duplication?

Can you start an online business, which will allow you the freedom to coach the inner-city kids? Are there a multi-level marketing or referral marketing system you can join? Can you start a consulting service or write and publish content. Are there freelance skills you can outsource?

(Yes, I did use the swear word Multi-Level Marketing - PS not promoting any system here....)

The digital age brought many opportunities.

You need to dig deep and do your research. Find a system. Test it. Work it.

See, sometimes your passion is one opportunity or system away.

And normally living your passion is living your ideal lifestyle...

I hope this thought makes sense

I am new here on Steemit, still not sure how everything works, but let me know your thought.

Have a blessed day.
