Tip of the Day:
“Following your passion can be a tough thing. But figuring out what that passion is can be even more elusive. I’m lucky — I’ve found my passion, and I’m living it. I can testify that it’s the most wonderful thing, to be able to make a living doing what you love. And so, in this little guide, I’d like to help you get started figuring out what you’d love doing. This will be the thing that will get you motivated to get out of bed in the morning, to cry out, ‘I’m alive! I’m feeling this, baby!’. This guide won’t be comprehensive, and it won’t find your passion for you. But it will help you in your journey to find it.” Leo Babauta shares his personal story about finding his passion, and shares ten tips that helped him get there.
