I spent 35 years as a biochemist because I was fairly good at it and it paid well. But it took a layoff to make me realize how much I hated it. Now I drive a paratransit bus, helping low income, disabled and elderly people get around town and I love it! I make 70% less, but I can't wait to drive all my "friends" around town every day! They "energize" me!
I feel like crying! What she's speaking about is such facts! I'm 30 and I just feel like idk what I'm doing in life! I have a degree and I feel like it's not doing ANYTHING for me But what energies me is 🎨 ART
That's great! I feel like I am in a similar position to you and I just want to say don't give up! It is very easy in life to take the wrong path as I have done for the past few years, but once you realise what energises you, you have to pursue it. Being happy is the most important thing in life and pursuing your passion/ the thing that makes you energised is the only thing which makes you truly happy I think
I love single moms and teen moms because I was one. I HATE my current job as an executive assistant, I’m basically an office bitch. I wish I could work with them as I know and feel so much. I also lost my second baby (my clothing business), long story as to why, but it made me want to wake up and live. Now I’m so empty, unfulfilled and only alive for my son. I’m afraid that if I don’t find my purpose soon (other than my son) I won’t make it alive for long.
Samara V Hamilton Thank you! I have definitely thought about that. I went with Hoarder’s Heart bc I want people to understand what a hoarder truly felt & thought while getting rid of their stuff. That way they could be more compassionate with their loved ones who hoard. And I want people who do hoard, know I understand their struggles and know it’s a mental disability that we can heal. I think maybe once I feel I have completely healed, I will completely use my name & identity and “Hoarder’s Heart” will be a program like “Alcoholics Anonymous” helps healing alcoholics ❤️ If you have any suggestions, I would love to hear them!
@@ahoardersheart I think "A Hoarders Heart" is a great choice of name for your idea as it will attract exactly who you are looking for. A hoarder, who has no plan on stopping, will click on your channel think oh great a hoarders channel, how perfect, and then bam you come in and change their view on the whole thing. You've got a great idea going.
Christian F. 21 😊😊😊 Right now I have a RUclips channel where I explain how I feel, my healing process and cleaning out my house! You can subscribe and I will answer any questions you have 😊
Worshiping God energizes me.. I can have the toughest day and bawl my eyes out.. But when I worship, by the end of my time in worship I feel the atmosphere shift, and the pain or negative emotions subside.. I feel peace, secure, and empowered.. You can never go wrong with worship.. It can turn any hopeless situation into a hopeful one, worry in to peace and sadness into joy.. ❤
@@isi6808 do what God calls you to do. If you think you are in for ministry, volunteer at churches and see what area you like best. But if there isn't anything in that, just let God do it all
What energizes me is something quite weird. I love to organize stuff or make lists... I dream of closets perfectly organized and I dream of a perfect organizational, balanced system for my life... I don't know why.
Well all been said I think a trustworthy energizes me It been hell after I divorce my partner I pray God sends to me a good partner and. Loving one God fearing and a grateful heart is all I pray for
My passion is reading, mostly very complicated books. I’ve discovered philosophy 12 years ago and never looked back. It helped me to understand reality, people and most of all myself on a deeper level. Now every decision I make is an informed one. “Know thyself” that gives me energy! I’m more equipped to be of service to others😊
Well all been said I think a trustworthy energizes me It been hell after I divorce my partner I pray God sends to me a good partner and. Loving one God fearing and a grateful heart is all I pray for
Do what makes you happy! Nothing she said is something only she knows. It's easy to say those things and be happy when you are already there yourself. People need more than a generalization. I would recommend disconnecting yourself from social media, TV , people who complain, even if that's your family. Spend allot of time alone, finding out who YOU are!
@@sarahrulz8089 Not negative at all actually. My point was, she contains nothing all of us don't have as well. I apologize if you felt negativity from my quote. Trust me, I want you to be happy far more than she ever would. Reply to this with something that makes you work hard. Something that makes you get up in the morning.
Finally someone makes me not feel guilty for not having a “passion job”. I knew something was wrong with “follow your passion”. It just didn’t seem right... maybe for some but not for all.. it’s not the end all be all.
You clearly didn't understood the video. Passion and energy are the same. She just made it easier to look for what energizes you which can be just a feeling. Compared to a passion which people think of as a precise domain.
Tbessix220 I’m trying to find a point in that message of yours but I can’t seem to. And being energized by something can be result oriented such as working out and hating it. I HATE working out but I love the results it gives me and I’m ENERGIZED by that end goal. So I have NO PASSION for working out but the end game result of looking great and feeling great drives me and ENERGIZES ME to keep doing it despite hating it. That’s what I take from her message and it doesn’t seem to be wrong to me.
@@Mr.Honest247 I understand, You took the exact definiton of of the word ENERGIZE. In that line, Sleep energizes us, Water, Coffee does the same too. But you don't wake up pumped up in the morning just to drink water. She's using the word ENERGIZE in a different manner here, Same way as she explained what energized her "Giving people hope" that's a passion. Steve Jobs didn't wake up everyday saying that i'm gonna manufacture something and sell it because it makes me feel good. Instead, He had a passion for "Innovation and aesthetics". All the greats do have it. Einstein's passion was "discovering hidden powers" I know you get it by now, Just don't fight it man
My passion is what energizes me ... And for me it's playing the guitar, piano, songwriting, singing and pretending to perform in front of thousands people despite being just in my bedroom in my trousers. But whatever, it makes me happy, it's my escape, it's my energy. I love this.
*For the Creator to allow you to play and comprehend music IS A GIFT, BELIEVE ME.....IT IS A GIFT!!!!* *MUSIC WAS MY DEEP PASSION, BUT THE CREATOR WAS NOT HAVING IT........SO I'VE BEEN SOUL-LESS FOR THE PAST 43 YEARS....JUST EXISTING AND BEING NOTHING & NOBODY!!*
I recently got into classical piano music because it's so beautiful and touching to my soul. I love music to since it energizes me as well but also philosophy energizes me to and so does working out or learning science. But one thing is for sure music wakes me up and makes me feel alive when I'm down or even up something. Without music not sure maybe go out into nature. Outside of that I'm not extroverted towards people.
My passion is writing itself cause as a writer you can honestly really build your own worlds im writing fanfiction at the moment and honestly I really thought to myself why do people become successful and are still unsatisfied and still ungrateful it's because society demands you to have such stuff when you urself don't even want it in the first place...
Crazy how for years I've always wondered where ppl get this passion that they talk about so much. I ask myself why dont I have it. You just really allowed me to look at the bigger picture. There is definitely something that energize me. Singers and dancers do what they do becuz of the energy that they get from it. Got it! Always thought that I must not be passionate about anything becuz I haven't any talents to be passionate about. Now I see it differently. Thanks so much for opening my eyes.
A year ago I watched the 5 second rule ted talk. I listened, but thought it was goofy and kind of brushed it off and didn't care. I saw it in rehab as a thing we had to do for a group. Fast forward almost exactly a year later, I had just gotten out of rehab- again. Was feeling this sense of utter desperation. I realized that this time I was willing to do anything to truly change, not only my life, but my entire self. I changed my major in school from general studies to public relations and communications. I started going to NA meetings. I got a sponsor. I started reading again. I started journaling. I wake up every day in the morning, not afternoon, and have breakfast and coffee. I am not completely changed. But I am better than I was 2 months ago and I'm so happy with the progress I've made. Anyways, one day when I decided to take a 30 minute walk, shortly after I got home from this second time in rehab, I went to my saved playlist of motivational and goal setting videos, and clicked on the 5 second rule. This time I really listened. I really absorbed the information. I loved that Mel talked about how she didn't want to get out of bed, her anger, and her drinking problem. I identified with that so much. I started using the 5 second rule and want to implement it more. I also realized when I got back that I'd be getting 4000 dollars less in grants for college. Normally that news would freak me out and send me into a depression. Instead, it inspired me to look for a job. Going to school full time and working full time is going to be so difficult, but instead of being full of fear (I'll admit I'm a little scared), I'm energized. I'm allowing myself to let life happen, and to roll with the punches instead of falling down and giving up. Mel really did add something valuable to my life. I also love the book You are a badass by Jen sincero. That was also a huge help for me. I just feel like being open to help and actually listening instead of laughing at things already makes a big difference. What is laughing at everything going to get anyone? Just a laugh. But sitting and listening to valuable advice from someone else who has success? It's priceless. You actually get something out of it. Basically where I'm going with my little rant is that I'm glad I watched mel's video again, and I'm glad I'm open to listening.
@@klh93 thank you. I actually am doing really well. Still sober, still working a job I actually love, and I'm starting my next semester of school on the 17th. I feel really good about where my life is right now. And I signed a lease on an apartment that is all mine. 🥰 I definitely have been using the 5 second rule when I'm feeling like I don't wanna get out of bed in the morning lol.
what energises me is listening to various types of music and sharing my music taste. as well as taking photos/videos and matching the vibe to different songs depending on the «ambience». basically creating a whole ass vibe which u can disappear into if that makes sense....
Same here and I’m thinking it’s almost the same thing as whoever chooses the music that’s playing in a show/movie scene … so does that mean go to film school???
@@savannahparra3775 you don’t have to be traditional about it. Going to school for things like art and film …and paying to do that is overrrated. It’s 2021 u can take master classes or other quick to the point videos and experiences…you go sis!! 🔥 don’t feel you have to follow the traditional way. There are a lot of cool self made artists out there!
This CD has three separate relaxation/meditation sessions on it ruclips.net/user/postUgkxzpa8CIfZcihW4Z0F_ja0QF3W9KIatrsq guided by a very pleasant and direct male voice. Unlike so many other products of its type, this CD does not have bad synthesizer music, does not feature a phony or affected style of narration, and does not make any bogus claims to be subliminal or to re-train the brain or any of that balderdash. What you get is 1. a guided meditation for getting into a pleasantly relaxed state of body awareness while taking a stroll (superb for those easing back into a fitness routine slowly after an illness or injury) 2. A nice long breath-awareness relaxation session that if followed diligently can put you into very deep states of full-body relaxation and mental calmness, and 3. a buddhist-inspired meditation session designed to help you develop and maintain feelings of loving kindness toward not just yourself and your friends, but toward people you don't even like. The CD makes no claims to be designed for advanced meditators or for buddhists or hindus/yoga practitioners looking for very deep and esoteric stuff. It is geared more toward the average person who just wants to develop the habit of relaxation and stress relief through natural, healthy means. him, if you happen to be reading this, keep up the good work fella, and I love your accent. I would also like to note that I have never fallen asleep while listening to this product. I would like to kindly suggest to the reviewer who said this CD makes him fall asleep, that he might want to get checked to see if he has a sleep disorder, or if he is simply not setting aside ample time for restful sleep at night. A healthy person getting adequate rest at night should be able to go into deep states of mental relaxation without dozing off, if not all the time, then most of the time.
Your not alone, the good think is that u know, is no body's fault but it is your responsibility to do better and find a way to start something and finish..🙏🙏 best of luck.
What is also valid is a more gentle path. A simple life, few possessions, finding meaning in the relations you have with family, friends and community, being of service and being kind. Her energy is very harsh, aggressive and abrasive. It's valid and ok to live a quiet, simple life, close to nature with your own guideposts. Society will tell you what to do, produce and consume. But personally I would appreciate if more people slowed down, stopped trying to prove themselves being loud with big ambitions and spent time in nature and tuning into themselves alone for periods of time. Looking inward cures a lot of neuroses about "finding my passion" and can provide self-acceptance and inner peace. ☮️
Alex Clifford , jeezus! you sound like a giant pussy. I agree family is important , but if your not out hustling making serious money you won’t be able to help anyone in your life or yourself. My friend the world doesn’t run on love. That’s just a honest truth. Remember ANYONE who ever feeds you the bullshit and says money doesn’t by happiness I guarantee doesn’t know where to fucking shop.
But you need to choose a vocation even if you gonna live a simple life. Even spiritually inclined people struggle with choosing the right job or career.
It really does come down to what you like and what energizes you. But in order to do that you need to try different things. You have to put yourself out there and get your feet wet. That is the only way you will know what you like and don’t like. Even if you have no idea, just moving towards this idea can be a great feeling because you are finally moving in a direction that is beneficial for you. It’s not easy but the easiest things are never the most rewarding.
What energizes me is editing and writing new work and submitting my work and giving other writers feedback, teaching other poets who to improve their work 😊
Well all been said I think a trustworthy energizes me It been hell after I divorce my partner I pray God sends to me a good partner and. Loving one God fearing and a grateful heart is all I pray for
I am a therapist working with people who are struggling with a compulsive gambling habit and to see my clients start to realise they can re gain control and abstain is utterly fulfilling
Hi Ritesh do I think what works ? I'm not sure I understand your question ...if it's about overcoming compulsive gambling then it is absolutely possible if your question is about finding something that energises you then yes so long as that something is positive
This literally changed me in some way, and my thinking too! I feel more inspired and now I’m not looking for “my passion” I’m looking for things that energizes me! Thank you!
For some people it's very easy to figure out. My brother knew he was a musician when he was 10. But for most it's very hard. And as for me: I'm good at sports, good at writing, decent at music and many other things, but this multi-abilities has been killing me for 20 years. I quit and restart a new career every 5 years. After all the different fields i had worked and even made a lot of money now, at 40 i still can't figure out what to do with my life. Now, I have come to love trading, it gets me up every day and even at 4 am in the morning, even tho this excites me, it's so additive like a drug and i feel very guilty doing it because on the other hand trading feels like gambling, and i have a good creative career writing books (not in english tho as you can see). It is a good path but it bores me. I can see my great future with books, but i can't stand writing for more than 1 hour. Oh boy! WTF is wrong with me?!
Have multiple professions. So many people kill themselves trying to figure what single endeavor they want. You can start with balancing 2 and also have your hobbies. While you cannot do everything don't feel the need to be restricted.
I relate to this. So many things I'm ok at. Without focusing on one. I have linked with a life/career coach and that is helping me get clarity, connection and confidence.
Takeaways - chase what energizes you and not a "passion" when you don't know your "passion" - passion is not a person place or a thing - passion is the feeling of being energized - chase after what energizes you
I really needed this video. This is going to sound cheesy but I've been asking myself what is my passion or purpose for years and lately I've been feeling like I'm dirt for not knowing. I felt like I should know by now. I wished so hard to have a clear idea and path and I never thought of changing the question to what energizing me. Thank you so much Mel Robbins for relieving this huge stress I've had forever in my mind. I love to be helpful and do my best in creating things. Whether I'm creating a nice graphic for an email campaign for my job or making my journal look nice or being productive in creating a cleaner home space, I do my best to get it done. I want to apply that to a business of my own some day soon. Life is a work in progress and you can't expect things to happen right away. I need to focus on bettering myself and being strong so I can be strong for others.
I. LOVE. THIS! Thank you SO much!! I've felt like an effing failure most of life because I can't freaking pinpoint my purpose, my passion, my gift, and all that! It's been like a heavy cross to bear, it has paralyzed me and, in a way, it has hold me back. It has filled me with fears and been an obstacle to advance and improve. Thank you, thank you! Would love to hear more... I'll check the rest of your channel!
You don't find passion, passion finds you. It only finds the people who are willing to fail, to succeed, to be alone and to give there mind. No one can tell you what your path is, it's discovery is the part of the greatness itself.
I've studied Physics, some Chemistry and Biology, worked in lots of AI, studied lots about what makes people wealthy and powerful. Now what energises me is growing my wealth, learning about finance/investments and calculating growth and growth rates. I've done some coaching and networking. I'd love to coach people to be good at building their own wealth.
That sounds interesting. I love money and I would love to find a way to make myself rich but at the same time I feel like I’m an angel and I meant to help people so I don’t know.
Wow this is so powerful! I’m one of those person that always ask herself what my life purpose is. I will definitely ask myself what energize me from today and on. Thank you Mel, love you!
I often feel like, i dont have passion so i dont have purpose in my life. I looked around my friend circle and found everyone doing things which they call it passion but i was doing nothing. I was feeling something different and the things i have started i always left it in middle. I didnt do it beacuse i was energised but i want to do the things my friends were also doing and to show to other peoples. Now i know what to do thank you❤️
Honestly, what inspires and energizes me is to watch inspiring talk like this. And then, it clears my mind to see what is my priority. It could be earning money, household, another skill whatever. But this type of videos calms my anxiety that I will stop asking myself questions. After watching this type of videos, it feels that I can fly. You don't have any idea how much relief you can give for anxious people like me.
Possibly the best video on the topic I've seen in my life. But besides that, can we take a moment to appreciate how gorgeous Mel is in mind, body and spirit. Radiating strength.
it's not being energized in the literal way, but more in the excited, feeling we are stronger/better/etc than we do when we are not doing that/those things imo but yeah healthy lifestyle will give you the kind of energy you're talking about.
What a relief. It is less daunting to think about what energizes me than what my life purpose is or what my passion is. Yet those thing translate to having the energy to do something. Wow Thank you!
Actually, I came to RUclips asking this question: how can I discover my true passion? The first video that appeared was for Mils Robins, and honestly, I didn't expect to hear an exact response that hung what I was looking for, but her answer was so reasonable and pragmatic that I hadn't looked for any more video or podcaste about passion since! I enjoy practicing sports, particularly stretching, but I also enjoy helping others in developing their skills, as I did. Also, I enjoy learning new things, solving puzzles, and dispelling false beliefs as well as sharing my knowledge with others. I despise my job; I've been doing the same responsibilities for years, but even so,i didnt lose hope , i'm working on my strong points everysingle day because i know what make me and others happy . i love you all .
This means I’ll never stay in one subject. I find a new thing that excites me, I dive into it, create the simplest project to learn it, dream about it taking over my life and being the best at it, then I realize how complex and difficult it is and then on to the next subject.
Thank you so much, this gave me so much peace. I'm at a major crossroads in my life and this gave me much more than hope. I feel like God spoke to me through this🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
What energizes me is breathtaking adventures and writing. I'd love to be a travel writer but that's just not a realistic stable source of income. Plus my fear of putting myself out there, I don't even know where to begin. What can be done when the thing that energizes you has a very scarce chance of becoming a stable career :(
What if you were to get a certification to teach English online or abroad and worked the hours you wanted? You could still travel and write anytime you wanted and have a stable income. Or take up trading in stocks and the FOREX market? Those are my Plan A-B
Well, there is a hidden but major difference, PASSION : an ambition, a dream , a picture in your mind of being in a certain condition or position, wether your capabilities are for this or not... many times ends in your fantasies MOTIVATION: is mainly 1- you admire someone else's success and you want to imitate it to be in their condition or position regardless of your capabilities... and mostly transient, ends quickly or 2- listening to some one else's words or advice that push you towards that person idea that he or she urges you to do or undergo... many times is momental, doesn't last long But what ENERGIZEs you : is that desire that leads you to a certain imaginable yet feasible, reachable condition or state or Goal, according to your own capabilities and availabilities, You can do it, You can reach it, so every time you focus on it you find yourself achieving step by step forward towards it, by this your mind and body find the required Energy to be exerted available and present... from this you get Energized. But guys, take into consideration, that reaching what energizes you comes after a true real deep understanding of who you are and what are your capabilities, what are your skill sets and what talents you have and could be improved.... So in fact, yes there is different between passion energize and motivation
The difference is psychological. When you ask someone to think of their passion, they think with their heart and often don't immediately think of their own real world experiences. Someone can think they're passionate about becoming a musician, until they see actual musicians who are really hungry to make it. Asking someone to think of what energizes them immediately puts them in a different frame of mind. They have to think about real world experience. What situations or tasks naturally get them pumped up. What things do they do end feel a natural sense of endurance.
Oh how I Love you... I just text my husband this morning and said.. "I'm tired of being so Blahhh.. I just feel like I have no passion" Which is a feeling that feeds my severe depression. 😥
You can get out of that situation it will just take a lot of work that. you can only do no one can help you unless you are ready . I was going thru the same thing just a year ago and I just started meditating as well as looking for things to be thank full for we are all so blessed and know that you are a beautiful creator that has the ability to write your own story , You can be whatever you want to be and as happy as you let your self be .take it day by day and get on your right frequency and keep your momentum going . you will see that you are amazing energy . do not give up give that sad energy to good and your answers will come to you ;)
I love this! The words "purpose" and "passion" can be scary and overwhelming. We put a lot of weight into each of these. So much so that we kind of steer clear of figuring out our purpose. Instead of directly focusing on discovering our purpose in life or a career, we should identify meaningful pursuits and activities that are important to us. One day this may look like going for a walk or going to the gym. Another day this might look like talking to a friend or going out to lunch. Another day this may look like cleaning your house or finishing a work project. None of these activities in isolation are your "passion" but at the time they were important and meaningful. When we intentionally engage in meaningful pursuits and activities over the months and years, we will find our purpose. As an added benefit we may also find our passions too! Hope this helps!
My passion/energy is to make a story. I had this thing like a movie/story inside my head that it makes me excited. It makes me giddy just to think about what other think I could invented inside my head which leads me to write novels and hopefully one day a screenplay.
Grateful that my passion found me. Doing what you love definitely opens the doors to many wonderful things that I never thought I'd be doing. Finding what lights you up (your passion) can actually save your life. When you are in flow of your passion your purpose shows up very evidently. You soon start attracting a lot of people who want to know what you know and how you became good at what you have finally mastered. Firstly, you master yourself then you will be able to master what you are good at. You can never be fired from your gifts as these are yours to own forever. Intuition should not be lost, but is lost to many only to have people say they feel lost when they get to a certain age and life has hit them hard because they have not discovered how to win. Find your centre you can never lose your intuitive compass. Sense of direction is such a powerful thing when you know who you are, you're going to find out what you can do, what your capable of your passion will start to rise and I must admit it is a process that takes place over a couple of years for you to understand yourself. Nobody can do this for you but it's worth a rediscover of yourself to be able to find out who you are. You are powerful beyond measure and this what scares people when they realise they are in control of their own destiny.
I had chased my passions since i was in high school up until two years ago. got none. now i'm pretty happy with my 9 to 5 job and then going home to do anything i want
Learning & teaching have always energized me. I played school before I ever started kindergarten. Became a teacher & spent 40+ years doing that. Was it exhausting & frustrating & not monetarily rewarding? Yes, but I loved it! Retired now & enjoying doing whatever I feel like doing-or doing nothing at all-bc I feel I’ve earned it. Listen to your heart, & go for what energizes you, like Mel says.
What energizes me is speaking to young mind to follow their dreams and passion..I love speaking to people,I love giving hope and I love speaking in general.
It's been a couple of days watching your videos and I'm starting to think differently, actually i have pictured myself growing my own business which is fenomenal caus I had lost those dreams that had in my early twenties and now everything is coming to my mind so fresh in a way that i can mark the path to follow step by step it's incredible I never expected that I could start to believe in myself again. thankyou Mel for sharing all this wisdom. You have no idea how much you've helped me.
Being a makeup artist, this was energized me.. I have energy, im happy, im focus, the feeling that i get when im on set, doing makeup Uff!! Is out of this world. Is exciting for me.
I've just had a break through and I've never felt so much hope, throughout highschool I've been (and still is) drawn to art, writing and drama. I've just realised why I love them so much and that it's the message behind it. I love showing a story from so many different perspectives and what which one means, I love how the same story will have so many different meanings and that they can have connections with them. I feel like I'm going to cry lol, I finally know what I've been missing 😭
Hi Mel, I just wanted to let you know that I enjoyed immensely your Ted Talks, "How to stop screwing yourself over". I am a 51 year old man. Married with 4 awesome kids. Going through some things in my marriage (and personally). I jotted down what you said, "If you listen to how you feel when it comes to what you want, you will not get it---because you will never feel like it." Thank you for being generous with your knowledge.
Finding out what energizes me is still a struggle, I have met a lot of people a akin them for help in focusing on my niche on RUclips but they will always ask me to find my passion or what I love doing and all of these still can't help.....until lately when someone told me that you can't find your passion until you explore! That was great right? Until you try new things before you know what you really want or what you're made of
Light bulb moment. As soon as I try to think about what is my passion I feel my energy collapse and I freeze. Does this increase or decrease my energy level? That's something I can check in on easily and regularly.
Fiona Watson She didn’t say think about your passion. She means think about what line of thought energises you. Passion is such an overused word these days and many people are confused by it because not everyone has a passion. Ignore the word ‘passion’.
Fiona, it's because of an irrational underlying belief you hold that is holding you back. You are afraid about not being enough as a person. Go check out rational emotive behavioral therapy to work on this. It's pretty easy but requires work.
don't get afraid of the outcome before getting started ..... fear of people ridiculing u thoughts of that and thinking u won't be able to do it lowers energy
Awesome! Mel is straightforward and she gets right to the point of the matter without sugar coating and confusing things. I can always understand and relate to what she says!
To be honest nowadays I am like I don’t have any motivation .I want to do something in my life but all I feel is hopeless.I am not even good at anything.neither I am good at study nor any work.I even ask myself what am I gonna do with my life.i cannot share this with my family they just keep on expectations and I keep disappointing them.It’s like too much for me to handle there is no one who can give counselling to me. I just feel hopeless
Plus; an ask angel.com or some utube video's of ' Ask angels with Melanie Beckler ' . i joined a group of hers and they send angels who cut chords and get rid of LOW ENERGY and help yOU rise ,reaching a higher level of energy. i never joined their fb group yet , i am healing via angel healing. Here's a ut video; ruclips.net/video/0ycNYg6UbEg/видео.html
I love digging into details and finding answers to questions. I also like helping people figure out what they’re good at - I want to be too many things.
Thank you soooo much! Every school from tk-highschool to college, needs to have someone like you to provide a course or a class. A hope for a path forward and then let the education continue it's course for the day. This should be first.
Passions and dreams are great if you know people to propel you into the next level. I don't care what anyone says, it's who you know. You have to even know someone to go viral or to do a TED talk.
Man this hits home HARD !!! I've been wondering that for YEARS !!! But I got it all wrong ! Thank you so much for this !!!!! THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart. THIS made my day, my YEAR !
Exactly. Good point. When u are no longer passionate about something that was your passion for years . Everybody say just take a rest. U will get back to it eventually. They just don’t understand that your energy ran out. U r no longer have energy to do it. It became boring.
Two things. 1)Tom Bilyeu's interview with Mel Robbins 2)The 5 second rule book by Mel Robbins (Read/listen to it on Scribd or Audible on their 30 day free trial) 💕
I've been thinking about this for several days after I first saw this video.I think we should have more than just one passion.Ive got a few.Ive been playing the West African Djembe' drum for 18 years and I'm good at it,I can cook almost anything,I'm a problem solver,I love animals and people;the elderly, children and everyone in between,I'm an excellent archer, swimmer and painter- houses and canvass pictures! I'm sure there are other things but these keep me occupied nicely...Thank You God! 🙄🙏😔
I'm handling some hypnotherapy for exactly that and so far its helped me not exactly get clear with what I want to do but it has helped me enjoy life regardless
I think it is insightful. If money is the only thing that energizes you it doesn’t really matter how you make it and you can make money in a million different ways. If the particular way you make money is what excites you, then that is something she can’t spoon feed you because she might not know anything about the method in which you want to make money.
I found it. I've been struggling so much with finding the one Job that will make me happy. I just wanted to stop feeling like I've hit a rough patch in the road. Like im not going anywhere and even if i was where would i go. This was a big help in the right direction. Thank you
I spent 35 years as a biochemist because I was fairly good at it and it paid well. But it took a layoff to make me realize how much I hated it. Now I drive a paratransit bus, helping low income, disabled and elderly people get around town and I love it! I make 70% less, but I can't wait to drive all my "friends" around town every day! They "energize" me!
What a sacrifice 👏😍
That’s priceless!
Commendable
@@sakilasamaraweera6151 it wasn't really a "willing sacrifice". It took a lay off to find out I'm happier as a "people person".

"The thing that energizes me is making people feel that they matter." Love it.

"Don't pursue your passion, pursue what energizes you".
Completely phenomenal folks!
Hello
Exactly!
It's the same thing though? If your passion doesn't energize you is not a passion.
She didn't change the meaning. She literally said the same thing.
But they are often interchangeable.

What she's speaking about is such facts! I'm 30 and I just feel like idk what I'm doing in life! I have a degree and I feel like it's not doing ANYTHING for me
But what energies me is 🎨 ART
That's great! I feel like I am in a similar position to you and I just want to say don't give up! It is very easy in life to take the wrong path as I have done for the past few years, but once you realise what energises you, you have to pursue it. Being happy is the most important thing in life and pursuing your passion/ the thing that makes you energised is the only thing which makes you truly happy I think
go for it!🙂
I’m 50 and feel this way. The last 4 years I’ve struggle to concentrate on my corporate job. I look forward to when I can paint
I love single moms and teen moms because I was one. I HATE my current job as an executive assistant, I’m basically an office bitch. I wish I could work with them as I know and feel so much. I also lost my second baby (my clothing business), long story as to why, but it made me want to wake up and live. Now I’m so empty, unfulfilled and only alive for my son. I’m afraid that if I don’t find my purpose soon (other than my son) I won’t make it alive for long.
LOVE THIS!
I found my passion...it’s to heal myself of hoarding, clean out my house and then help other people who struggle heal from their hoarding too ❤️
Samara V Hamilton Thank you! I have definitely thought about that. I went with Hoarder’s Heart bc I want people to understand what a hoarder truly felt & thought while getting rid of their stuff. That way they could be more compassionate with their loved ones who hoard. And I want people who do hoard, know I understand their struggles and know it’s a mental disability that we can heal. I think maybe once I feel I have completely healed, I will completely use my name & identity and “Hoarder’s Heart” will be a program like “Alcoholics Anonymous” helps healing alcoholics ❤️ If you have any suggestions, I would love to hear them!
@@ahoardersheart I think "A Hoarders Heart" is a great choice of name for your idea as it will attract exactly who you are looking for.

Worshiping God energizes me.. I can have the toughest day and bawl my eyes out.. But when I worship, by the end of my time in worship I feel the atmosphere shift, and the pain or negative emotions subside.. I feel peace, secure, and empowered.. You can never go wrong with worship.. It can turn any hopeless situation into a hopeful one, worry in to peace and sadness into joy.. ❤
Thank you for that. I'm the same way
But like its the same for me but what do i do with that now?

So true!!!!!Sometimes I just don't because of sheer laziness! or would rather watchYT videos!! Serious!

My passion is reading, mostly very complicated books. I’ve discovered philosophy 12 years ago and never looked back. It helped me to understand reality, people and most of all myself on a deeper level. Now every decision I make is an informed one. “Know thyself” that gives me energy! I’m more equipped to be of service to others😊

Do what makes you happy! Nothing she said is something only she knows. It's easy to say those things and be happy when you are already there yourself. People need more than a generalization. I would recommend disconnecting yourself from social media, TV , people who complain, even if that's your family. Spend allot of time alone, finding out who YOU are!
Jeff Banfield ugh don’t be negative when we are trying to be positive and change ourselves and others.

Finally someone makes me not feel guilty for not having a “passion job”. I knew something was wrong with “follow your passion”. It just didn’t seem right... maybe for some but not for all.. it’s not the end all be all.
You clearly didn't understood the video. Passion and energy are the same. She just made it easier to look for what energizes you which can be just a feeling. Compared to a passion which people think of as a precise domain.
Tbessix220 I’m trying to find a point in that message of yours but I can’t seem to. And being energized by something can be result oriented such as working out and hating it. I HATE working out but I love the results it gives me and I’m ENERGIZED by that end goal. So I have NO PASSION for working out but the end game result of looking great and feeling great drives me and ENERGIZES ME to keep doing it despite hating it. That’s what I take from her message and it doesn’t seem to be wrong to me.
@@Mr.Honest247 I understand, You took the exact definiton of of the word ENERGIZE. In that line, Sleep energizes us, Water, Coffee does the same too. But you don't wake up pumped up in the morning just to drink water.
She's using the word ENERGIZE in a different manner here, Same way as she explained what energized her "Giving people hope" that's a passion.
Steve Jobs didn't wake up everyday saying that i'm gonna manufacture something and sell it because it makes me feel good. Instead, He had a passion for "Innovation and aesthetics". All the greats do have it. Einstein's passion was "discovering hidden powers"
I know you get it by now, Just don't fight it man
My passion is what energizes me ... And for me it's playing the guitar, piano, songwriting, singing and pretending to perform in front of thousands people despite being just in my bedroom in my trousers. But whatever, it makes me happy, it's my escape, it's my energy. I love this.
Congratulations on finding what makes YOU HAPPY!!!
*For the Creator to allow you to play and comprehend music IS A GIFT, BELIEVE ME.....IT IS A GIFT!!!!*
*MUSIC WAS MY DEEP PASSION, BUT THE CREATOR WAS NOT HAVING IT........SO I'VE BEEN SOUL-LESS FOR THE PAST 43 YEARS....JUST EXISTING AND BEING NOTHING & NOBODY!!*
I feel the same but its just like i dont know if i wanna peruse a life as musician but i never want to get music out of my life... Im stuck in middle
I recently got into classical piano music because it's so beautiful and touching to my soul. I love music to since it energizes me as well but also philosophy energizes me to and so does working out or learning science. But one thing is for sure music wakes me up and makes me feel alive when I'm down or even up something. Without music not sure maybe go out into nature. Outside of that I'm not extroverted towards people.
My passion is writing itself cause as a writer you can honestly really build your own worlds im writing fanfiction at the moment and honestly I really thought to myself why do people become successful and are still unsatisfied and still ungrateful it's because society demands you to have such stuff when you urself don't even want it in the first place...
Crazy how for years I've always wondered where ppl get this passion that they talk about so much. I ask myself why dont I have it. You just really allowed me to look at the bigger picture. There is definitely something that energize me. Singers and dancers do what they do becuz of the energy that they get from it. Got it! Always thought that I must not be passionate about anything becuz I haven't any talents to be passionate about. Now I see it differently. Thanks so much for opening my eyes.

A year ago I watched the 5 second rule ted talk. I listened, but thought it was goofy and kind of brushed it off and didn't care. I saw it in rehab as a thing we had to do for a group. Fast forward almost exactly a year later, I had just gotten out of rehab- again. Was feeling this sense of utter desperation. I realized that this time I was willing to do anything to truly change, not only my life, but my entire self. I changed my major in school from general studies to public relations and communications. I started going to NA meetings. I got a sponsor. I started reading again. I started journaling. I wake up every day in the morning, not afternoon, and have breakfast and coffee. I am not completely changed. But I am better than I was 2 months ago and I'm so happy with the progress I've made. Anyways, one day when I decided to take a 30 minute walk, shortly after I got home from this second time in rehab, I went to my saved playlist of motivational and goal setting videos, and clicked on the 5 second rule. This time I really listened. I really absorbed the information. I loved that Mel talked about how she didn't want to get out of bed, her anger, and her drinking problem. I identified with that so much. I started using the 5 second rule and want to implement it more. I also realized when I got back that I'd be getting 4000 dollars less in grants for college. Normally that news would freak me out and send me into a depression. Instead, it inspired me to look for a job. Going to school full time and working full time is going to be so difficult, but instead of being full of fear (I'll admit I'm a little scared), I'm energized. I'm allowing myself to let life happen, and to roll with the punches instead of falling down and giving up. Mel really did add something valuable to my life. I also love the book You are a badass by Jen sincero. That was also a huge help for me. I just feel like being open to help and actually listening instead of laughing at things already makes a big difference. What is laughing at everything going to get anyone? Just a laugh. But sitting and listening to valuable advice from someone else who has success? It's priceless. You actually get something out of it. Basically where I'm going with my little rant is that I'm glad I watched mel's video again, and I'm glad I'm open to listening.
I'm so proud of you.

what energises me is listening to various types of music and sharing my music taste. as well as taking photos/videos and matching the vibe to different songs depending on the «ambience». basically creating a whole ass vibe which u can disappear into if that makes sense....
what the fuck, that’s exactly what i feel like.

This CD has three separate relaxation/meditation sessions on it ruclips.net/user/postUgkxzpa8CIfZcihW4Z0F_ja0QF3W9KIatrsq guided by a very pleasant and direct male voice. Unlike so many other products of its type, this CD does not have bad synthesizer music, does not feature a phony or affected style of narration, and does not make any bogus claims to be subliminal or to re-train the brain or any of that balderdash. What you get is 1. a guided meditation for getting into a pleasantly relaxed state of body awareness while taking a stroll (superb for those easing back into a fitness routine slowly after an illness or injury) 2. A nice long breath-awareness relaxation session that if followed diligently can put you into very deep states of full-body relaxation and mental calmness, and 3. a buddhist-inspired meditation session designed to help you develop and maintain feelings of loving kindness toward not just yourself and your friends, but toward people you don't even like. The CD makes no claims to be designed for advanced meditators or for buddhists or hindus/yoga practitioners looking for very deep and esoteric stuff. It is geared more toward the average person who just wants to develop the habit of relaxation and stress relief through natural, healthy means. him, if you happen to be reading this, keep up the good work fella, and I love your accent. I would also like to note that I have never fallen asleep while listening to this product. I would like to kindly suggest to the reviewer who said this CD makes him fall asleep, that he might want to get checked to see if he has a sleep disorder, or if he is simply not setting aside ample time for restful sleep at night. A healthy person getting adequate rest at night should be able to go into deep states of mental relaxation without dozing off, if not all the time, then most of the time.

Your not alone, the good think is that u know, is no body's fault but it is your responsibility to do better and find a way to start something and finish..🙏🙏 best of luck.
What is also valid is a more gentle path. A simple life, few possessions, finding meaning in the relations you have with family, friends and community, being of service and being kind. Her energy is very harsh, aggressive and abrasive. It's valid and ok to live a quiet, simple life, close to nature with your own guideposts. Society will tell you what to do, produce and consume. But personally I would appreciate if more people slowed down, stopped trying to prove themselves being loud with big ambitions and spent time in nature and tuning into themselves alone for periods of time. Looking inward cures a lot of neuroses about "finding my passion" and can provide self-acceptance and inner peace. ☮️
Alex Clifford , jeezus! you sound like a giant pussy. I agree family is important , but if your not out hustling making serious money you won’t be able to help anyone in your life or yourself. My friend the world doesn’t run on love. That’s just a honest truth. Remember ANYONE who ever feeds you the bullshit and says money doesn’t by happiness I guarantee doesn’t know where to fucking shop.
Thank you for raising this point.
Then you should NOT listen to David Goggins....
But you need to choose a vocation even if you gonna live a simple life. Even spiritually inclined people struggle with choosing the right job or career.

@aena mustafa just as she said if making money energizes you then go for it! If not then think again
Haha yea i think we all wish that we have considered these things before getting in debt…
It really does come down to what you like and what energizes you. But in order to do that you need to try different things. You have to put yourself out there and get your feet wet. That is the only way you will know what you like and don’t like. Even if you have no idea, just moving towards this idea can be a great feeling because you are finally moving in a direction that is beneficial for you. It’s not easy but the easiest things are never the most rewarding.
What energizes me is editing and writing new work and submitting my work and giving other writers feedback, teaching other poets who to improve their work 😊
Love it keep going 🥰

@@alisonbarrow5711 Hello Alison👋
This literally changed me in some way, and my thinking too! I feel more inspired and now I’m not looking for “my passion” I’m looking for things that energizes me! Thank you!
did you find it?
I have always had a passion for helping others. That gives me purpose and fullfilment.
For some people it's very easy to figure out. My brother knew he was a musician when he was 10. But for most it's very hard. And as for me: I'm good at sports, good at writing, decent at music and many other things, but this multi-abilities has been killing me for 20 years. I quit and restart a new career every 5 years. After all the different fields i had worked and even made a lot of money now, at 40 i still can't figure out what to do with my life. Now, I have come to love trading, it gets me up every day and even at 4 am in the morning, even tho this excites me, it's so additive like a drug and i feel very guilty doing it because on the other hand trading feels like gambling, and i have a good creative career writing books (not in english tho as you can see). It is a good path but it bores me. I can see my great future with books, but i can't stand writing for more than 1 hour. Oh boy! WTF is wrong with me?!
Have multiple professions. So many people kill themselves trying to figure what single endeavor they want. You can start with balancing 2 and also have your hobbies. While you cannot do everything don't feel the need to be restricted.
I'm so glad you mentioned that I thought it was just me. Good to hear u go through it as well.
I relate to this. So many things I'm ok at. Without focusing on one. I have linked with a life/career coach and that is helping me get clarity, connection and confidence.
Joe I hear you I’m a little stuck to I’m 39 and have multi talents and interests I’m having a difficult time finding what to do
Blueberry Kingdom Strawberry Cure I’m going to do this thank you
The best explanation I have heard about why "passion" is so elusive. It is an energy that dissipates over time. Makes so much sense.
Takeaways
- chase what energizes you and not a "passion" when you don't know your "passion"
- passion is not a person place or a thing
- passion is the feeling of being energized
- chase after what energizes you
We find our passion from what energizes us while our purpose is found in finding a solution to that which unsettles our inner peace.
What if is the opposite...our passion should be to find what help us find peace...calm...not energy

I really needed this video. This is going to sound cheesy but I've been asking myself what is my passion or purpose for years and lately I've been feeling like I'm dirt for not knowing. I felt like I should know by now. I wished so hard to have a clear idea and path and I never thought of changing the question to what energizing me. Thank you so much Mel Robbins for relieving this huge stress I've had forever in my mind. I love to be helpful and do my best in creating things. Whether I'm creating a nice graphic for an email campaign for my job or making my journal look nice or being productive in creating a cleaner home space, I do my best to get it done. I want to apply that to a business of my own some day soon. Life is a work in progress and you can't expect things to happen right away. I need to focus on bettering myself and being strong so I can be strong for others.
I. LOVE. THIS! Thank you SO much!! I've felt like an effing failure most of life because I can't freaking pinpoint my purpose, my passion, my gift, and all that! It's been like a heavy cross to bear, it has paralyzed me and, in a way, it has hold me back. It has filled me with fears and been an obstacle to advance and improve. Thank you, thank you! Would love to hear more... I'll check the rest of your channel!
You don't find passion, passion finds you.
It only finds the people who are willing to fail, to succeed, to be alone and to give there mind.
No one can tell you what your path is, it's discovery is the part of the greatness itself.
What energises me is playing, listening and reading music.
I've studied Physics, some Chemistry and Biology, worked in lots of AI, studied lots about what makes people wealthy and powerful.
Now what energises me is growing my wealth, learning about finance/investments and calculating growth and growth rates.
I've done some coaching and networking.
I'd love to coach people to be good at building their own wealth.
That sounds interesting. I love money and I would love to find a way to make myself rich but at the same time I feel like I’m an angel and I meant to help people so I don’t know.
Wow this is so powerful! I’m one of those person that always ask herself what my life purpose is. I will definitely ask myself what energize me from today and on. Thank you Mel, love you!
thanks for watching!
I often feel like, i dont have passion so i dont have purpose in my life. I looked around my friend circle and found everyone doing things which they call it passion but i was doing nothing. I was feeling something different and the things i have started i always left it in middle. I didnt do it beacuse i was energised but i want to do the things my friends were also doing and to show to other peoples.
Now i know what to do thank you❤️
What did you have done dude . Please share
I know my energy, but the problem is how to pay the bills while I’m pursuing my energy.
it is the most challenging comment she ever heard for sure. Hope she has an answer
Figure a way to make money
You have to enlist spiritual influences for that purpose.
@Wills Pram yes
@Wills Pram agree, if your job is your passion then great. But if not, well at least we have that 'passion' to pursue when we're not at work.
Honestly, what inspires and energizes me is to watch inspiring talk like this. And then, it clears my mind to see what is my priority. It could be earning money, household, another skill whatever. But this type of videos calms my anxiety that I will stop asking myself questions. After watching this type of videos, it feels that I can fly. You don't have any idea how much relief you can give for anxious people like me.
Possibly the best video on the topic I've seen in my life. But besides that, can we take a moment to appreciate how gorgeous Mel is in mind, body and spirit. Radiating strength.
I found out eating enough(calories that u need), sleep and exercise , makes u energized
peter chan #ThatsThePassion yeah!🤘
peter chan I used to be so fatigued after school until I decided to actually walk back home
I workout so hard everyday, sleep and food are the only things that energize me.
Coffee energizes me.
it's not being energized in the literal way, but more in the excited, feeling we are stronger/better/etc than we do when we are not doing that/those things imo but yeah healthy lifestyle will give you the kind of energy you're talking about.
What a relief. It is less daunting to think about what energizes me than what my life purpose is or what my passion is. Yet those thing translate to having the energy to do something. Wow
Thank you!
I want that chair, it looks so nice and comfortable
LOL it's awesome
Woman.
@KING SAUL LOL! Or, does it energize you!?
Havr you bought it? 5 months have passed
I think you just found what energises you
Actually, I came to RUclips asking this question: how can I discover my true passion?
The first video that appeared was for Mils Robins, and honestly, I didn't expect to hear an exact response that hung what I was looking for, but her answer was so reasonable and pragmatic that I hadn't looked for any more video or podcaste about passion since!
I enjoy practicing sports, particularly stretching, but I also enjoy helping others in developing their skills, as I did.
Also, I enjoy learning new things, solving puzzles, and dispelling false beliefs as well as sharing my knowledge with others.
I despise my job; I've been doing the same responsibilities for years, but even so,i didnt lose hope , i'm working on my strong points everysingle day because i know what make me and others happy .
i love you all .
I think what energizes me is music and being a godly angel on earth, spreading light and wisdom to help those that are stuck in the darkness
This means I’ll never stay in one subject. I find a new thing that excites me, I dive into it, create the simplest project to learn it, dream about it taking over my life and being the best at it, then I realize how complex and difficult it is and then on to the next subject.
Thank you so much, this gave me so much peace. I'm at a major crossroads in my life and this gave me much more than hope. I feel like God spoke to me through this🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
My passion is helping others through mind body and spirit, i.e., pilates yoga meditation and nutrition ❤
Stop finding for what energizes you and start realizing what makes you drained.
Inverse thinking!
I get drained by going to work
Thank you for this comment ❤
Working for other people makes me feel drained being an employee makes me feel drained
What energizes me is breathtaking adventures and writing. I'd love to be a travel writer but that's just not a realistic stable source of income. Plus my fear of putting myself out there, I don't even know where to begin. What can be done when the thing that energizes you has a very scarce chance of becoming a stable career :(
Then dont quit your day job, save to pursue those passions. At least you have something to do besides working 🙂
Begin with small steps, taking control over your anxiety, shyness, social fear...then work hard to habe money for your adventures
What if you were to get a certification to teach English online or abroad and worked the hours you wanted? You could still travel and write anytime you wanted and have a stable income. Or take up trading in stocks and the FOREX market? Those are my Plan A-B
Hi Mel
It is very difficult for me to catch your words,but I love to listen you
Kindly add subtitles in your videos
It's a humble request
Passion, Energize, Motivate... all the same thing.
Hhaha yes, this b is just looking for clout, she sad energize, gary vee empathy, or passion, it easy tosay
NOT AT ALL..
Well, there is a hidden but major difference,
PASSION : an ambition, a dream , a picture in your mind of being in a certain condition or position, wether your capabilities are for this or not... many times ends in your fantasies
MOTIVATION: is mainly 1- you admire someone else's success and you want to imitate it to be in their condition or position regardless of your capabilities... and mostly transient, ends quickly
or 2- listening to some one else's words or advice that push you towards that person idea that he or she urges you to do or undergo... many times is momental, doesn't last long
But what ENERGIZEs you : is that desire that leads you to a certain imaginable yet feasible, reachable condition or state or Goal, according to your own capabilities and availabilities, You can do it, You can reach it, so every time you focus on it you find yourself achieving step by step forward towards it, by this your mind and body find the required Energy to be exerted available and present... from this you get Energized.
But guys, take into consideration, that reaching what energizes you comes after a true real deep understanding of who you are and what are your capabilities, what are your skill sets and what talents you have and could be improved....
So in fact, yes there is different between passion energize and motivation
Abdalrahman Daif your definitions are simply your own opinions, there is nothing accurate about this whole thing
The difference is psychological.
When you ask someone to think of their passion, they think with their heart and often don't immediately think of their own real world experiences. Someone can think they're passionate about becoming a musician, until they see actual musicians who are really hungry to make it.
Asking someone to think of what energizes them immediately puts them in a different frame of mind. They have to think about real world experience. What situations or tasks naturally get them pumped up. What things do they do end feel a natural sense of endurance.
Oh how I Love you... I just text my husband this morning and said.. "I'm tired of being so Blahhh.. I just feel like I have no passion"
Which is a feeling that feeds my severe depression. 😥
I had that talk with my husband this week too!
Look for energy instead :)
@@melrobbins oh I'm looking...😩 But I will definitely keep that in mind. 👍 Thank you so much for your videos 😢
You can get out of that situation it will just take a lot of work that. you can only do no one can help you unless you are ready . I was going thru the same thing just a year ago and I just started meditating as well as looking for things to be thank full for we are all so blessed and know that you are a beautiful creator that has the ability to write your own story , You can be whatever you want to be and as happy as you let your self be .take it day by day and get on your right frequency and keep your momentum going . you will see that you are amazing energy . do not give up give that sad energy to good and your answers will come to you ;)
Are you drinking your water and nourishing yourself healthy food? That helps me. Just a thought!
I love this! The words "purpose" and "passion" can be scary and overwhelming. We put a lot of weight into each of these. So much so that we kind of steer clear of figuring out our purpose. Instead of directly focusing on discovering our purpose in life or a career, we should identify meaningful pursuits and activities that are important to us. One day this may look like going for a walk or going to the gym. Another day this might look like talking to a friend or going out to lunch. Another day this may look like cleaning your house or finishing a work project. None of these activities in isolation are your "passion" but at the time they were important and meaningful. When we intentionally engage in meaningful pursuits and activities over the months and years, we will find our purpose. As an added benefit we may also find our passions too! Hope this helps!
My passion/energy is to make a story. I had this thing like a movie/story inside my head that it makes me excited. It makes me giddy just to think about what other think I could invented inside my head which leads me to write novels and hopefully one day a screenplay.
Grateful that my passion found me. Doing what you love definitely opens the doors to many wonderful things that I never thought I'd be doing. Finding what lights you up (your passion) can actually save your life. When you are in flow of your passion your purpose shows up very evidently. You soon start attracting a lot of people who want to know what you know and how you became good at what you have finally mastered. Firstly, you master yourself then you will be able to master what you are good at. You can never be fired from your gifts as these are yours to own forever. Intuition should not be lost, but is lost to many only to have people say they feel lost when they get to a certain age and life has hit them hard because they have not discovered how to win. Find your centre you can never lose your intuitive compass. Sense of direction is such a powerful thing when you know who you are, you're going to find out what you can do, what your capable of your passion will start to rise and I must admit it is a process that takes place over a couple of years for you to understand yourself. Nobody can do this for you but it's worth a rediscover of yourself to be able to find out who you are. You are powerful beyond measure and this what scares people when they realise they are in control of their own destiny.
Hey Mel! I am in my first year of Law school. I am so inspired by you. You reassure me everyday that my goals are achievable. Thank you!
I had chased my passions since i was in high school up until two years ago. got none. now i'm pretty happy with my 9 to 5 job and then going home to do anything i want
Learning & teaching have always energized me. I played school before I ever started kindergarten. Became a teacher & spent 40+ years doing that. Was it exhausting & frustrating & not monetarily rewarding? Yes, but I loved it! Retired now & enjoying doing whatever I feel like doing-or doing nothing at all-bc I feel I’ve earned it. Listen to your heart, & go for what energizes you, like Mel says.
What energizes me is speaking to young mind to follow their dreams and passion..I love speaking to people,I love giving hope and I love speaking in general.
My passion is Powerlifting! 💪🏻😎🤘🏻
Mel thank you ! For explaining passion and purpose and this make sense. I am making changes and I am energized by this . 🙂🇨🇦
what if u cant answer the question "what energizes you?"
Just try things, then you’ll find out what does and what doesn’t!
Here are some list I tried but it's not of my talents
Dancing
Cooking
Singing
Drawing
Coding
Writing
Sports
Crafting
Acting
Sculpting
@@limo9402 none r mine either, except a little sports
@@myaestheticlife7403 does that mean, we have uncommon talents ?
Try everything. Something will pop.
Mel! You are the greatest!!!
It's been a couple of days watching your videos and I'm starting to think differently, actually i have pictured myself growing my own business which is fenomenal caus I had lost those dreams that had in my early twenties and now everything is coming to my mind so fresh in a way that i can mark the path to follow step by step it's incredible I never expected that I could start to believe in myself again. thankyou Mel for sharing all this wisdom. You have no idea how much you've helped me.
Being a makeup artist, this was energized me.. I have energy, im happy, im focus, the feeling that i get when im on set, doing makeup Uff!! Is out of this world. Is exciting for me.
YESSSSS! Just a few short months ago I found what excites me and I am 100% following the energy :) great advice!
I've just had a break through and I've never felt so much hope, throughout highschool I've been (and still is) drawn to art, writing and drama. I've just realised why I love them so much and that it's the message behind it. I love showing a story from so many different perspectives and what which one means, I love how the same story will have so many different meanings and that they can have connections with them. I feel like I'm going to cry lol, I finally know what I've been missing 😭
Hi Mel, I just wanted to let you know that I enjoyed immensely your Ted Talks, "How to stop screwing yourself over". I am a 51 year old man. Married with 4 awesome kids. Going through some things in my marriage (and personally). I jotted down what you said, "If you listen to how you feel when it comes to what you want, you will not get it---because you will never feel like it." Thank you for being generous with your knowledge.
Finding out what energizes me is still a struggle, I have met a lot of people a akin them for help in focusing on my niche on RUclips but they will always ask me to find my passion or what I love doing and all of these still can't help.....until lately when someone told me that you can't find your passion until you explore! That was great right? Until you try new things before you know what you really want or what you're made of
Light bulb moment. As soon as I try to think about what is my passion I feel my energy collapse and I freeze. Does this increase or decrease my energy level? That's something I can check in on easily and regularly.
You should ask someone. Do you still deal with it
Fiona Watson She didn’t say think about your passion. She means think about what line of thought energises you.
Passion is such an overused word these days and many people are confused by it because not everyone has a passion. Ignore the word ‘passion’.
Fiona, it's because of an irrational underlying belief you hold that is holding you back. You are afraid about not being enough as a person. Go check out rational emotive behavioral therapy to work on this. It's pretty easy but requires work.
Subconscious mind is a bastard till u know what to do with it
don't get afraid of the outcome before getting started ..... fear of people ridiculing u thoughts of that and thinking u won't be able to do it lowers energy
I watched again and cried again! This is powerful testimony!
Awesome! Mel is straightforward and she gets right to the point of the matter without sugar coating and confusing things. I can always understand and relate to what she says!
This woman speaks so much sense!! And not like the other gurus who connect stuff to spirituality.
Finding what energizes you. That's profound
To be honest nowadays I am like I don’t have any motivation .I want to do something in my life but all I feel is hopeless.I am not even good at anything.neither I am good at study nor any work.I even ask myself what am I gonna do with my life.i cannot share this with my family they just keep on expectations and I keep disappointing them.It’s like too much for me to handle there is no one who can give counselling to me. I just feel hopeless
Please watch this video and see if you feel better. ruclips.net/video/HzMXtu93iQI/видео.html
Plus; an ask angel.com or some utube video's of ' Ask angels with Melanie Beckler ' . i joined a group of hers and they send angels who cut chords and get rid of LOW ENERGY and help yOU rise ,reaching a higher level of energy. i never joined their fb group yet , i am healing via angel healing. Here's a ut video;

Feeling a sense of @happiness makes me energised💛
I love digging into details and finding answers to questions. I also like helping people figure out what they’re good at - I want to be too many things.
Thank you soooo much! Every school from tk-highschool to college, needs to have someone like you to provide a course or a class. A hope for a path forward and then let the education continue it's course for the day. This should be first.
Passions and dreams are great if you know people to propel you into the next level. I don't care what anyone says, it's who you know. You have to even know someone to go viral or to do a TED talk.
Wow, this is the best advice I've ever heard till now
Man this hits home HARD !!! I've been wondering that for YEARS !!! But I got it all wrong ! Thank you so much for this !!!!! THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart. THIS made my day, my YEAR !
Fitsoccergirl
Agree👏🏼
Ecris ton destin,you are absolutely gorgeous 💓💓❤❤🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹and I will be glad to know you more
I wanna be like you when I grow up . You such an amazing woman ,KEEP SHINING
Exactly. Good point. When u are no longer passionate about something that was your passion for years . Everybody say just take a rest. U will get back to it eventually. They just don’t understand that your energy ran out. U r no longer have energy to do it. It became boring.
I have a problem.
Nothing,really nothing energiez me.
😂I don't feel anything at all.
exactly man
Everything drains me
exactly
I thought I was the only one. Wow
Saaaaaame
Mel Robbins Please create a video of how you got started, before Tedx. What took you to Tedx. Thank you for your videos.
Plzzzzzz.... Mrs Mel Robbins.
Two things. 1)Tom Bilyeu's interview with Mel Robbins 2)The 5 second rule book by Mel Robbins (Read/listen to it on Scribd or Audible on their 30 day free trial) 💕
Listen to the audio book of the 5 second rule. She's more detailed there than the book.
5 Second Rule book has it allllll in there :) Also, tons of videos on RUclips that I've made. Check there.
Yesss.. Plsssd
My passion is watching youtube all day. Nothing is wrong with this I believe.
crazybike911 lol I’m beginning to believe this too !!!
RUclips is entertainment. Just like TV
A friend of mine directed me to this channel. This is exactly what I needed to hear right now, thank you!
I've been thinking about this for several days after I first saw this video.I think we should have more than just one passion.Ive got a few.Ive been playing the West African Djembe' drum for 18 years and I'm good at it,I can cook almost anything,I'm a problem solver,I love animals and people;the elderly, children and everyone in between,I'm an excellent archer, swimmer and painter- houses and canvass pictures! I'm sure there are other things but these keep me occupied nicely...Thank You God! 🙄🙏😔
What do you do when nothing energise you. I just feel nothing makes me feel good.
Awh I would suggest talking to yourself and getting yourself into new topics and see what might be a bit of an eye catcher
Same
I'm handling some hypnotherapy for exactly that and so far its helped me not exactly get clear with what I want to do but it has helped me enjoy life regardless
exactly
Therapy
Sleep energizes me
Muhammad saad 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Muhammad saad But something that you could make a living off of. Duh!
If it energizes you to make money, figure out how to make money..... brilliantly insightful and incredibly unhelpful.
I think it is insightful. If money is the only thing that energizes you it doesn’t really matter how you make it and you can make money in a million different ways.
If the particular way you make money is what excites you, then that is something she can’t spoon feed you because she might not know anything about the method in which you want to make money.
Literally the definition of passion, what gives you energy. And of course your passions can change over time.
I found it. I've been struggling so much with finding the one Job that will make me happy. I just wanted to stop feeling like I've hit a rough patch in the road. Like im not going anywhere and even if i was where would i go. This was a big help in the right direction. Thank you
This was exactly what I needed I’m so glad I watched this 😃
