Sustainable Excellence Xtras #66 - The Mentor With Jack Carew

What does passion mean to you?

Is it a driving force that motivates you to do the difficult things you love and enjoy? Maybe it's the desire that keeps you going long after you are mentally, physically, and emotionally depleted.   

But without action or activity, passion is useless. It would be like fueling your car with gas and leaving it in the garage.

Why is being passionate important and what benefits do you receive from being enthusiastic about something?

Being passionate has some significant advantage to our overall well-being. It can:

1. Help you strike a beneficial work-life balance - Being passionate about your job will help you master your work-life balance because work won't be something that drains and fatigues you.

2. Have fewer regrets - Imagine how energized you would feel if you followed all your goals and dreams. Being passionate allows you to bet on yourself, which will make you better off even if things don't work out as expected.

3. Modify your story - Passion provides you with the ability to better alter the narrative of your life because you won't be restricted by the negative affirmations you will be feeding yourself.

In his book, The Mentor, author Jack Carew, outlines five steps to powering up the excitement that will lead you to your passion. Watch the video below to learn what those five steps are.
