Fitness content coming tomorrow! Trying to balance the fitness content with these kinds of "FAQ" videos.
Okie dokie!
Can you please make video about forearm workouts at home , thank you
Hey Hampton! You asked for it so i'ma say it. My passion is music, particularly i'm into guitar just like you!
Your doing great! Stay swell! ☕️🖐🏽
Passion isn't about just liking something in my opinion. Its something you love so much that you can't imagine life with that thing. Its like your whole existence is dependent on following your passion even if it doesn't make successful instantly but its about being happy in what your doing and feeling fulfilled
i actually really love cooking, just not ina professional environment. the joy of preparing something for someone else and seeing them smile because of it, that feeling can never be replaced for me.
Same man, i just cook whatever comes in mind and my family enjoys it! I dont know how i make them but im glad im able to do it.
Me too
You "regular" people and your passion being rooted by the fact that you care about others' feelings.
Just telling you can start making insta and youtube content out of it by just improving your plating skills and make it more appealing in looks.
Not saying it will work but it you want what you like to have a chance to become your job one day it is a good start there are many examples of these
Especially when the food is really good and they clean their plate before you even sit down😁
I think the question "What do I want in life?" is a horrible question because it has you looking at things from the wrong perspective. It tricks people into thinking there's this "one big thing" they're supposed to accomplish. There's nothing wrong with having goals but they can quickly turn into an obsession if you tie your self-worth into achieving those goals. A much better question to ask is "What am I needing in this moment?" and "How can I take steps to meet my ever-changing needs more often?" At least that way you'll be more flexible and won't feel stuck.
Up
Totally. Because a person can always change their mind, or adjust their views, or switch to a different career, or learn new hobbies... we are ever-changing throughout our lives.
👏👏👏👏
I think that's where the term, "lifestyle" comes in. The intersection of activities, work, spirituality, community, culture, way of life, etc.
I dont think you know what Hampton is talking about.
I’m not even a ~younger community member~ (I’m 35 next year) and I still don’t know what I’m ✨passionate✨ about so I really needed this reminder, thank you!
NPH... musical theatre? Cabaret?
I'm around your age. I've realized I have no true passion other than learning new skills. One of my favourite quotes is a jack-of-all-trades is a master of none but it's often better than a master of one. The old-fashioned term would be a renaissance man.
@@philtrumble There are a few people who learn new skills as their profession!
Me too, bro, me too .... :'(
I'm 35 too. Same, man, same. Kinda comforting to know that I'm not alone in this. Thanks for your comment!
I can confidently say that this guy is passionate about making his YT videos
I think it's less the making videos and more the helping people. The videos are just a means to an end.
Bet he also passionate about making a difference and helping people
I could be very depressed, but sit down and make a video where I look happy. Would you assume I’m depressed? Same with this guy. He could be burned out for all we know, but we just can’t see it because we only see what is shown to us. I’m not saying that he’s depressed or hates making videos. I’m just saying that you can’t assume how people feel or how they actually are based on watching curated videos. The only way you can “confidently” say that this guy is passionate about making videos is by actually being in his daily life or having a one on one chat with him where he is being completely truthful.
My parents coerced me into taking the road to medical school my entire life and now that I'm in college I finally realized that I don't want to work that field, and it was my parents influence that held me back from finding my true passion.
I recently discovered that I really love entomology, 🦗 the study of insects 🦗 , and I'm gonna change my major very soon and work towards establishing myself into that field. For all of you lost out there, don't do what your parents want you to do, do what would make YOU happy.
Have an amazing day everyone! 😊
That’s awesome. Similar story for me. I studied finance in the business school in college because my Dad steered me that way (lovingly), and I worked in that field for 6 years after college and now I film weddings for a living and love it
if you were an asian, thats hella brave of you😂
Good luck 2u
Entomology so much cooler
As a fellow doctor, I’m proud of you brother. Trust me, follow your gut.
And, sometimes you don’t know you like something until you stop doing it.
That’s so true actually!
Just found that one out not too long ago🤦🏾♂️
Yep
First and foremost, it's okay not to know. It'll come, and more importantly, it will probably change.
Secondly, I think a common misconception is that you have to make your passion your job/career and that's just not the case. For 99% of us, the things we're passionate about won't have room for us to foster a career in. So I found a job/career that makes time and supports my passions which in turn helps me love what I do.
I'm passionate about playing sports, playing video games, and playing music. It'd be incredibly difficult for me to become a pro hockey player, a pro twitch streamer, or a pro musician; not impossible, just difficult.
Instead, I found a programming career that keeps me engaged, pays well, has a super flexible schedule, is remote, and promotes a wonderful culture.
Was it something I planned on becoming when I was a child? Absolutely not. I didn't even know what programming was. However, I wouldn't trade this job in for anything. It allows me to continue doing the things I love.
Be happy, be healthy folks. :)
Great video, Hampton. :) Much love.
This is so true!
You my friend.. damn you are me in the future! For a long time I didn’t know what to do until a few months ago, i play games, i dance, i love music.. i liked computers since i was a child but i wasnt sure what to do, until a october when i graduated.. i saw there was an option for Software Engineering and it just spoke to me, the ability to work from home.. a flexible schedule, and i’ll be able to do the things i love too. I’m happy that this has worked out for other people like you!
It's important to note it won't just come by itself. You have to try different things aka the point of this video
There is no misconception there are just different opions and way of living.
@@jabbingkal9494 You're right!
Game Design. Programming. I love it. I love taking an idea and running with it, trying new things until the thing I want works. I'm 30 years old and it took me this long to find my passion. Never give up, people. I've tried physics, astronomy, neurology, psychology, mathematics, cooking, sewing, knitting, crafting, automobiles, mechanics, robotics, streaming, video editing, and more. Keep going, try new things, amd when you find it, you'll know. Good luck, friends.
dude I'm the same age and tried like 1/3 of stuffs you mentioned. But I end up in game design as well.
Don't limit yourself to one passion. You can love and be passionate about multiple things all at the same time!
I took the first job I could get when I was in college. Somehow I ended up teaching field trips at a museum. Never in a million years would I have considered being a teacher, but when a kid hugged me and told me thank you for teaching him, I knew I found my passion. So glad I took that random job that exposed me to teaching.
That’s adorable! Thank you for sharing :)
I grew up doing martial arts, I hurt my self really bad and had to take a break. That break was the most bland and depressing point in my life. I've finally come back to martial arts and have my black belt in taekwondo and I'm working towards my black belt in karate. Truly fulfilling.
Work backwards. Ask yourself what type of lifestyle you want and then find a career that allows that. Don’t focus on the job itself. Even if you love doing, it will still feel like work anyhow - which is why they will have to pay you to do it. So focus on the lifestyle more than the job. Work from home, downtown city or travels a lot? Part time, full time or all the time? Hourly, salary, commission or investment based? Year round, summers off or whenever you feel like? Modest income, high income or become billionaire? Traditional M-F 9-5 or do you want to work at night or on weekends. Work alone or part of a team. Work for yourself or for a company? Answering these questions is much easier IMO and the answers are much more important than “what do you enjoy doing?” Even if cooking is your passion, being a Line Cook at Denny’s will not bring you joy.
I really like this, thanks
This is great advice
i have been lifting for 1.5 years. and i might smile and have more energy even after very tough workout, and i haven't posted a single picture to social media about myself at the gym or told almost to anyone that i lift, that's how i know i actually like it
Same
That's right! Keep enjoying the journey!
Writing is my passion. Whenever I sit down and write out the world inside my head onto my computer, there's a sense of happiness there, like I know exactly what I want to do. I feel the same about reading and playing the piano. All of these are things I genuinely enjoy. It's easy to tell when something is your passion; if it's not, you won't always be thinking about it in some corner of your mind. It's where you find yourself at your happiest.
i tried writing stories recently and its super fun but if i have no audience its not worth it
@@nathansedittingsaus4171 maybe try posting it somewhere? There are websites like archive of our own that you can post your writing on and it’s mainly used for fanfiction, but you can post original stuff too! Theres no algorithm so it will have as equal chances as any other post of being read, and people will find it based on the tags that you put on your story
I found that programming is my passion. I enjoy it, I do it for fun, and as a profession. I think I realized it's more of a passion, than a fun hobby, when I found myself arguing with my boss about something years ago. There was yelling, and some choice words; in the end we came to the same realization. We're both passionate about our job, and agreed to disagree.
same. I get a hit of dopamine every time I finally solve a bug or get a program to work, it's the best feeling in the world. On the other hand, programming can also be really frustrating sometimes. I've got a love-hate relationship with it
How did you get to that point? I want to be passionate to but can’t get there
I'm 27 and still questioning my passion.
I really, REALLY love nail polish, doing my nails, collecting it, the whole shebang.
I'm going into college to be an accountant because I'm pretty good at math and don't mind working with numbers rather than people.
Plus, I can use all that good accountant money to live comfortably and fuel my nail polish addiction.
Awesome
Imagine your surprise when you learn accounting has almost nothing to do with math. I really hope you enjoy double-checking things so they match.
@@H.P.Blavatsky *even better*
And make sure you’re not doing your parents’ passion. Or just doing something that makes them happy. Cuz unless it also makes you happy, you will just be miserable trying to please them.
I was gardening obsessively. Asked myself why. Decided by doing that I could continue my connection to my parents who are dead. Thought I have great memories. Stopped that obsession, now I garden more in a wild crafting way. And really like washing wool for spinning yarn. Narrowing down those unnecessary things that society, peers, family want us to like. It is tricky to shake off those chains holding us down.
Recently gave up my career due to health. Discovered embroidery and LOVE it so much. It energises and centers me. I get so much joy from it.
Being fit is a passion, but just because you want to be fit, doesn't mean you like to workout. Just like... I love a clean kitchen, but doing dishes and picking up, not so much. So when it's clean, I revel in it. I really soak it in. And I have found that picking up and dishes aren't so bad. Sending lots of love 💖 from sunny 🌞 Arizona 🌵 😷
same here, i dont like going to the gym but I do it because I like being in shape.
Something I’ve got a growing passion for is learning. Learning is truly endless and being able to utilise or share what I have learned is so rewarding 🙏
Just to caveat this: interests are dynamic. We go through different stages and seasons in life so don’t beat yourself up if you no longer enjoy things you used to enjoy decades from today
I’ve been struggling with the idea of not liking to draw as much as I used to and am finding the idea of what I think is my passion (animation) to be less appealing, which is scary because I thought that was what I was gonna be doing forever since I was a little kid. Now I’m getting potentially interested in game design, but I’m unsure if it’s a passion or just something that interests me because of the novelty, and I’m afraid of trying it because if I don’t like it, it will be a very expensive mistake.
@@elokin300 yesss i used to draw a lot too in high school almost everyday , and now i never have the motivation to do it. I found out i like to work out, even if i am not that good at that . I think you should try even if it costs you money . Its better to regret something that you did than regret something you didn't do
I’m 45 years old and have asked myself this question for years. People online and in life will give you these grand responses but often the simplest the best. Just try different things. This is a great video ❤
I'm a professional martial artist that has been doing martial arts for almost 10 years. Didn't think I was good enough at it to do it as a career until someone told me I could. After that my passion for it exploded and that's something I think factors into passion, skill. Not a lot but some.
“Do what makes your soul happy.”
Holy molly bro, love your videos.
I didn't expect you here,
Good luck with your channel
I m in love with music ..and singing ... It's the only thing that I ve found to genuinely bring a smile on my face ... It can bring emotions to my life ...when I feel numb all the time .. so yh music 🎶
My interests and passions change really quickly and drastically. I go from loving interior design and wanting to redo my whole apartment, to fixing gameboys, collecting VHS tapes and model trains, etc.
I'm autistic, so I've had it in my head that my special interest(s) have to be one or two things that last for years. For me, it's not like that. I get very passionate and sucked into things really quickly, but unwillingly drop the interest just as quickly. It's frustrating, and I haven't found a way to help it. One of my longer running passions has been trying to educate myself and others about autism, which has lead me to get friends I really appreciate, as well as get in arguments with people who don't quite understand facts.
Something I've always enjoyed however, is video games, but I wouldn't say it's a passion. Just a strong hobby!
I don’t know if I am also autistic, however, I RELATE STRONGLY
Trying to get into film school next year and my parents are trying very hard to discourage me so this felt nice. thanks
Hampton is so cool honestly he makes my day every time I watch him :)
The point: you have to be exposed to things to know whether you like it. One of my passions is helping my young friends to know what’s out there and to have opportunities to experience more of what life can offer.
Reading some of the comments and looking at my own life I get the impression that having something you are really passionate about often entails something that is very tricky to turn into your life project because it's just impractical.
I do feel though that, as Hampton said, it is very useful to expose oneself to the greatest variety of things possible, as sooner or later by mere statistics there is a chance one will find something. Just like the creator of this channel;)
Always been interested in history, there's always something for everyone. I would totally recommend reading about it and find perhaps a country, person or epoch you enjoy! You also learn a lot about life and the world.
Man I love your vibe, it’s so wholesome and positive. ❤️❤️
I love art and writing but those are really just “vehicles” for what I’m really passionate about. My true passion is making people feel something. When I can tell my art or writing affected a person emotionally, it makes me so unexplainably happy.
I started looking for my passion just a few years ago and just now discovered that I LOVE learning. I want to know it all and explore everything but none of it clicks as something I would want to do it everyday as a profession. Barbara Sher said it best. She calls us “scanners “. Renaissance man or polymath used to be the terms for people like me.
I like fighting. I'm not sure if I like partaking yet, but I love the art of it, the setups, finishes, how you can knock someone out with one punch, or have to daze the opponent first. And unpredictability also adds fire to it.
I played almost every sport as a kid, and never really liked physical activity.
I cannot stop thinking about calisthenics more so than anything in my life, for the past 3 years. I didn't fin it until I was 23, it takes time!
I like that your videos lift my spirits and make me think that it’s not a bad life, it might just be a bad day.
My passion is helping people and animals. I love doing so many things but helping people and animals makes me feel really good.
Sometimes all you need to do to find what you're really passionate about is to just simply look at who you are and what you enjoy, Sometimes the answers could be literally in front of you like a guitar or something you enjoy doing like yoga.
Them calling me friend makes me feel so much better after an exhausting day 😊
I used to have a true passion for art, but life got in the way and much as I try it's hard to love it like I used to. So I will continue trying to revive that passion, while still looking for something that could make me feel as good as art used to.
idk, it'd take forever to find something i actually like. im just so lost in what i want to do.
Oh I like so many things!
I like to travel, numbers, spending time with my furbaby-Berry 🐹, cooking a nice meal which only recently I find out that I can be a great cook as well. 😁😁
I also like hiking, cycling, staying at home, enjoy a cup of good coffee and sleeping! 💙💙
i like sculping with plasticine. its so much fun, i can make everything: from heroes of favorite books, films, games, etc. to just a something completely new. and even if little sculpture is made up bad, i can redo it again
I've known from the age of 15 that I want to be a genetic engineer. I already knew I wanted to pursue the sciences, but that was when I narrowed it down to a job title. I am 19 now, currently taking an organic chemistry class and almost halfway through college to a degree in Genetics and Cell Development.
Keep going brother, the road is long and steep but it’ll all be worth it.
Tough stuff, but you can do it! Organic Chem is a lot of work, but totally doable! Keep at it!
Oooh I'm a chemist in organic synthesis. It's so cool! I wish you a lot of fun in your class! :)
Man there were a lot of things that I used to love and I don't enjoy anymore, I'm in some kind of void right now...
I guess it's part of living
I don’t know about anyone else, I feel very passionate about everything I do. I’m the kind of person who really tries no matter what. I can’t decide what direction to go
I like programming. Logical problem solving had always given me a getaway from the emotional world we live in
I like art, and I think it is my passion because everytime I got frustrated from it I still like it.
This dude made a video for 1 minute and answered me something that I had been struggling for months at this point. I don't have any money so I will just like the video
I really like doing stage crew for theatre- I started my first show in the spring of my third year of high school and I think I’m really hooked on it. It makes me incredibly happy and comforted, and I love everything about it. It also does help that I made new friends there too. When I came home from each 2-3 hour afterschool session I wasn’t even tired, and I think it was the most content I had been all school year. I love creating something with a wonderful community of people and getting to see people appreciate it and use it without having to be in the spotlight.
I'm so glad you addressed this, even now a few years after high school I still have this problem. I've been going around working different jobs, going into different industries just trying to find something that I will love and will fit me.
I love connecting people to the stuff they need. I trained as a librarian because that is a career path with a myriad of ways of connecting and because I also love reading & learning all the time. I also write as an avocation, a hobby that pays for itself.
As I'm sure others have noted, it's not just a question for the young. I've spent a lifetime doing what I thought I had to do and stand on the verge of retirement wondering what I'll find to do. Thanks for all your wonderful content.
I love making stories. I've been doing it since I was very young and I've developed a habit of randomly crating stories in my mind and a few of those stories end up expanding into whole worlds. I've had a story in mind for years now, but I have no idea how I want to present it. I would love to make a comic/manga for it, but I have very little art experience. I've also tried writing it, but I also struggle to make really good writing like I usually read. I hope I can one day share this story with the world, I just have to find a way I can do that so people actually enjoy it and I could make at least somewhat of a living off of it.
I know I'm supposed to go outside and scour the streets for that whiff of inspiration, but I keep thinking: I'm gonna have to have a 9 to 5 job if i want to live a decent life. I will have two days a week to look after myself, to take care of my home and maintain my relationships. I don't even know where I could start to look, so I'm left wish I inherited a passion from my family
I've always been more ok the artistic and musical side, but after doing some exercise and a few laps around the park I realized I loved running cross country in high school way more than I did learning how to play an instrument
You are just a bastion of good energy.
Like a stalwart titan of good vibes. You've helped me in ways you aren't even aware of. I guess, I'm finally confident in myself. I've taken up bicycling, and I've lost 40 lbs in 4 month just from riding my bike. Exercise has helped me curb my guilty pleasures in junk food, as well. I've found myself waking up and feeling genuinely good. I loved what you said about, "this is your journey." In one of you vids. I took it to heart, dude. Thank you for what you do. You are truly an inspiration. Much love, brother.
I've been having a lot of fun studying Japanese over the past two years, and I've been wanting to try translation (though I'm not quite there yet)
頑張って！
すごいな‼︎ ٩( ᐛ )و
I enjoy learning Japanese too. Can loving a country a lot be counted as passion? I try as much as I can to learn about Japan, culture, food, language, history - all of it fascinates me
@@jemimahrajakumar7770 歴史学はパッションと言えるんでしょう？あれがある物を学ぶ活動なんだ。もちろん日本語や日本の文化学ぶこともパッションと言えるよ。
@@zainethepoet あんしん して いただき ありがとう ございます！:)
I'm between science and video games right now.
I love games as art, none of that corporate bullshit that's consuming the industry, it makes me feel emotions and connections and fall in love with stories and entire worlds. Same thing with science, especially physics, when you get that "I get it" moment, even from reading a book or watching a video, I feel this fire in me that demands that I read more, learn more and understand more about the painfully indifferent yet eternally beautiful universe we live in.
Right now I'm studying physics at uni, but only time will tell if I go all the way in science or if I end up in something else.
I don't know about passion, but I like doing art as a form of therapy and self care. I have a job fixing furniture and I like it and am okay at it and getting better in some of my struggle areas. It's really fun to fix things.
For me, passion is not just a mere hobby. A hobby is a thing you do on spare time, but passion can be a lifetime. It's a thing that you can do over and over again with a smiling face AND be proud of.
I'm lucky that I entered college knowing what I wanted to do. And even before that I knew what I wanted to do. But thanks a lot for putting this out there for everyone who is still looking! And to everyone who is reading this who is looking, I hope you find it!!💖💖💖💖💖💖💖
One of my very specific hobbies is floriography and I love it, but I found it during another project and got totally sucked in. Still can’t explain why or how but that’s that!
What is floriography?
@@codyw9129 I didn't know it either and quickly googled it. Floriography seems to be the language and meaning of flowers. You pick flowers who have a specific meaning and put them together to transport a message or a wish.
@@codyw9129 It's the language of flowers and was used in Victorian times to send secret messages, esp between women and lovers. Basically Victorian encryption - you'd pick the flowers from your flower dictionary and pray you did it right lol. Flowers/plants have had a lot of different meanings throughout history, so I enjoy trying to trace them in herbalism and mythology, since it's fun for me I guess :D
@@Gilagr26 hecc yeah
@@crowcrow2034 OMG thanks for explaining it so well! Reminded me of this really good Webtoon called The Remarried Empress, she used flowers as encrypted messages too!
Bro I love you.. When we're young every one tells us that we can fuck up in so many ways. That's just wrong. Try things, do shit and don't be afraid to find out something just isn't for you. That's just a step on the way to your true self.
At first i just didn't mind music, now it's my biggest passion!
I’m currently a senior in high school and I’m struggling with figuring out what I want to do in life, especially today. I recently began to care more about my health and want to feel confident, not for anyone else, but for myself. I found your channel and scrolled through your yt shorts and found this one. Thank you for all the wise words you’ve said, i think I want to go to college but I’m scared I’ll waste my money and time, i really do appreciate the words you’ve said today, thank you.
I love everything :D And I tend to find new things to like and do. The world has so much to offer.
Some things seem to stay. Sailing. Biking. Reading. Flying.
Some things I tend to come back to after long pauses. Like dancing.
Exercise in Saturday morning. And watching a bunch of your videos afterwards while having breakfast is *very* relaxing
Writing. Working on my first book, got the 1st draft done. Want to find some physical hobby that I can enjoy.
I love doing digital art, still learning, I really love it. Photography too. Both of them fits together for me since I see art in photos that I take.
Yeah and photography composition is like the same in art, same theory
I like drawing, leatherworking and digging up tiny pieces of ancient pottery and quartz!
I really like psychology and what goes thru the minds of other people
Tacos
@@parkeraverage1900 yes lol which is why I cook too
Doing that again now as a new widow at 72! I have some creative hobbies I've always been good at and enjoy. May persue further now! Thanks for encouragement!🎉❤
Quit my office job to become a chef, love it and so much happier, love your channel, thanks mate 👍🏻
I like fixing things, making gadgets, and very good at it. One of the reasons my parents pushed me towards engineering. But there's so much more i want to, but just can't do at the moment. Looking forward to persue the other passions in future.
When my bf started to crochet, he invited me to join him. I thought there's no way I'd enjoy it as much as he does, but sure, I'll give it a try.
Fast forward to almost a year later and it's become second nature to crochet a bit every day. I love looking for new projects to make and challenge myself with increasingly harder patterns. The only downside is that now I go crazy when yarn goes on sale. I have So. Much. Yarn. 😅
try a bunch of stuff, but always keep a backup plan. i’m going into the film industry, but i’m also minoring in english because i know i can write well, and i like doing it.
I love this. Additionally, you must keep trying new things, especially if you haven't found something you're passionate about. I'm passionate about crafting and creating and now I've started my own business doing what I ❤️
Planting and growing edibles, especially fruit trees. Turns out I have a green thumb))) Contemplating an investment into a piece of land that eventually will be turned into a beautiful organic orchard with antique apples (breeds that been around for a century or more but you can never find them at stores)
I taught myself how to knit from RUclips videos in my late 20s. People often give me weird looks for taking my knitting projects with me wherever I go. Especially if I have to sit and wait for something. Like the doctors office or DMV etc. I could care less. I love to knit even though I'll never be super fantastic at it. It brings me joy and that's all that matters. Once I knitted a queen size blanket, took me a year. But afterwards I was damn proud of myself for accomplishing something I thought I could never succeed at. Find what brings you the most joy. Even if it looks odd and out of place to others because it's not "age or generation appropriate."
Music is truly my passion. It’s all I think about and most of my free time is spent learning music theory and practicing guitar. The problem is that it’s a very difficult field to get a good career in
Well I’m still not quite sure what my true passion is. And that’s ok, but at the moment I’m into dancing, I enjoy it very much. Thank you for this video! I really needed to hear this…
To add to that: don’t forget to look out for yourself, too. I studied music and afterwards you could really see our individual goals but also how much our mental health effected the jobs we ended up with. Some wanted to become full time musicians, music coaches, high school teachers, professors, researchers, sound engineers. Some wanted to study their passion, work as something else and keep music as their high level hobby / side job. - And some wanted to be musicians but became something else because something hindered them, for example: thinking talent is all you need, no networking, waiting for others to find them, physical health issues (e.g. muscle issues, nodules on their vocal chords) and most commonly: mental health issues (e.g. depression, anxiety, self-doubt, not believing in themselves).
Very true. Parents who keep asking kids about what they want to do, at least let them know what are the options and let your kids try them out.
I picked up cooking over quarantine and recently began learning about fish keeping. I won’t dare seek a career in either but they’re a nice little escape
I have come to realize that school was originally meant to expose us to all the different things that can be learned in the world and someone (a big jerk) decided to grade us on those things. And now we feel like failures before we find that spark.
100% agree. You’ll only find your passions through a brief moment of serendipity. Create an environment that maximises the chances of a serendipitous moment. Be curious.
Thank you so much for this. After graduating college, I’ve just been lost in life and have no idea what’s my passion. Right now I’m doing an MBA trying to figure that out. Exposing myself to new things is the only way to find my passion
I felt lost because others knew a specific passion they have, but for me I had multiple. There wasn’t just one thing I wanted to do but when I stick with something I keep at it till the next thing in life. I love art, editing, writing, forensics, astrology, exercising, practicing my violin/ukelele, and hope one day I’ll make a streaming channel. I feel like the more I express these qualities without shame the better it will be for me as I grow. Currently im content with being in art school, but always i feel like there’s something missing.
childhood trauma happened and i got pretty lost and i don't know what i like. ty for the advice to just keep trying. love your videos and shorts. ty for your passion 😻
Trying different stuff as it is, and everything takes me towards law enforcement and helping people in some aspect.
Oh great topic! Lots of depth to go into with it, but as a soon to be 38 year old, I still am discovering passions and joys in life.
Sometimes we label activities, an art or craft as our "passion" and we end up getting burned out. Those aren't passions but the vehicle to display your passion. Your passion is your why, your driving reason.
I went from art, to music, to comic creation, to board game design, to Krav Maga, to Hurling, and so on and so on. But what is my passion? Teaching, protecting, and helping.
All of the above things where vehicles for conversation, learning and application for those I come across either for a second or a lifetime.
Distill down your "why"
“You just try different stuff.” Perfect. Just step out of your comfort zone sometimes, people! The man’s totally right when he says there are so many cool things in life. Just gotta explore. Mine is nutrition… which is conflicting cause I’m in school to do environmental work. Which I also like a lot! But it don’t hit the same. Instead, I make it like a hobby that I share with family and friends.
I personally love sculpting. Being able to create whatever I want is the best feeling
I’d love a long form video on this topic similar to your “watch this if you want to do great things” one
My wife used to talk crap about how many things I bought and started and then stopped.
I finally told her that trying new things and finding out it isn't for me isn't me just buying and quiting.
I'm trying to find things I'm passionate about and if I find someone who wants to try a thing I quit I can give them my tools for it.
I like you Hampton! Thanks for your seemingly unending optimism. Have a blessed day!
I like studying history a lot. And what unfortunately most people think of history is basically wars and dates. It is so much more than that! History is a story composed of different points of views and storylines. History is what defines languages, cultures, and it can even help you learn geography. It is the study of the progress of civilization, the evolution of technology and practices of people.
