Discover Your Passion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Before you can turn a passion into a career, you need to know what your passion is, of course.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We all have things we\u2019re interested in, but these aren\u2019t passions, usually.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Interests are fleeting activities or causes, and they can and will change throughout the course of your life. Passions, on the other hand, are long-lasting and all-consuming. Passions are the reason you work, the source of your joy, and a principle thing on your mind at any given moment.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Do you enjoy doing yoga?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Great! Do it in the mornings before school or in the evenings after work, because this is an interest, and a very healthy one to have!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Or, do you <em>live for<\/em> yoga? Has it been at the forefront of your mind for years? And, are you currently reading this article upside-down because you\u2019re in the shirshasana position as we speak?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now that\u2019s a true passion!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-light-green-cyan-background-color has-background\"><strong>Related Read<\/strong>: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodwall.io\/blog\/how-to-set-goals\/\">How to Set Goals You Can Actually Achieve (7+ Tips for Success)<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Plan Out Your Passion Career<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you\u2019ve identified your passion, don\u2019t jump straight to looking for related work on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodwall.io\/blog\/best-job-sites\/\">job websites<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your passion deserves better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First, plan out your career path and how it\u2019ll support your passion throughout its entirety. If you\u2019re a student or young professional, you of course don\u2019t have to map out your entire plan until retirement. However, create a basic outline, and ask yourself important questions, such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>How can your passion translate into a lifelong career?<\/li><li>Is there demand or a gap to fill?<\/li><li>Will you become an entrepreneur or practice your passion as part of another company?<\/li><li>What will you need to do to progress your passion career?<\/li><li>Do you have a Plan B?<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-light-green-cyan-background-color has-background\"><strong>Related Read<\/strong>: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodwall.io\/blog\/what-is-a-career\/\">What Is a Career?

Train &amp; Get Certified<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you leave your passion as an extravocational activity, you can grow and evolve it as you see fit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But, when your passion becomes your profession, you\u2019ll have to become qualified if you\u2019re going to succeed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Seek out certificate courses at online universities or local colleges. Research the leading industry organizations and consider becoming certified through one of their training programs.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s say your passion is traveling and you want to turn your wanderlust into a career. If you\u2019re applying to college, perhaps you\u2019ll get a degree in tourism law, international business, or hospitality management. Or, if you\u2019re already a professional, getting a certificate in travel economics would definitely boost your career, as would becoming a CTA\u00ae Certified Travel Associate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then, you can finally call yourself a professional in that passion field!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-light-green-cyan-background-color has-background\"><strong>Related Read<\/strong>: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodwall.io\/blog\/feynman-technique\/\">How to Use the Feynman Technique to Learn Anything Fast &amp; Effectively<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Be Patient<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>No matter what field you choose, you\u2019re going to face obstacles and setbacks.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even in your passion career.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Try not to let it get you discouraged.

If you receive criticism, hear negative feedback, or make mistakes, take it in stride and use it to grow and push yourself to the next level.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Careers span decades.

Don\u2019t, Maybe<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While it\u2019s a common goal to translate the things you\u2019re passionate about into a career, it doesn\u2019t have to be, of course.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Say you live for the thrill of climbing mountains and scaling the kind of sheer cliff walls that make me want to faint just thinking about it.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You <em>could<\/em> turn that into a career.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You might lead expeditions, compete professionally, or become a rock-climbing instructor.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, you might also lose the solitude, the sense of adventure, and the novelty which made you passionate about it in the first place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rather than transforming passion into profession, consider leaving your passions as hobbies or pastime activities and having a fulfilling career in a separate area.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your career path could be teaching, accounting, marketing, or IT. On weeknights, you can hit up your local indoor rock climbing wall; on the weekends, you can get your fix by heading to nearby mountains; and, when planning for your yearly vacation, you can prepare to summit K2!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-light-green-cyan-background-color has-background\"><strong>Related Read<\/strong>: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodwall.io\/blog\/how-to-improve-reading-comprehension\/\">How to Improve Reading Comprehension: 15 Strategies to Follow<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Well, that\u2019s our guide on how to turn your passion into a career, and we hope it helps you make a fulfilling professional choice!
