Happy Friday beautiful W3 and Welcome to all who have recently joined us from the Wake Up Your Life Event with Mel Robbins and I!

I know so many of you are still talking about how to live a passion-fueled life – and you have let us know that you are feeling a little bit stuck.

You understand needing to take on a new activity and to plow through procrastination habits but …

You still don’t know what BRINGS you passion (insert word of choice here … could be joy, purpose, ________).

So let’s start with a really simple first step.  Answer this question for me:

What did you love to do in your younger years?

I’m going to be honest … even this question stumped me for a long time.  I know that not every one of us had storybook childhoods, and yet in there somewhere – as a child – you found joy.  Because that’s what children do.

I found much of my joy as a young mom, and so I pulled from that as well. Do you remember joy from college, first jobs, having children, grandchildren, owning a home, giving back, volunteering, gardening … pull from anywhere and everywhere to capture it.

So where do you remember being happiest?  Was it …

• Flying down the hills on your bike, wind running through your hair
• In the kitchen with your mom/grandma/children learning/teaching to cook
• At the dinner table, where everyone was gathered
• Sitting quietly in nature somewhere reading, writing, drawing
• Playing sports or music
• Holding your baby sibling/child/grandchild as they smiled at you
• Riding horses, playing with the dogs, cuddling with the cats
• Digging in the dirt, getting dirty, growing things
• Being alone
• Being in a crowd
• Making new friends
• Taking risks (were you a daredevil?)
