As we close out the year, many of us may be reflecting on the things we’ve accomplished these last few months. Whether reflecting on goals or setting some new ones, the end of the year is often a time of reminiscing, reflection and strategy.
With that, several of you may be questioning your efforts of pursuing your own passion or purpose this year and some may be struggling with figuring it out altogether. Whichever boat you fall in, both require you to get a clear understanding of the life you envision and that starts with YOU.
As we continue the Essence & Smartwater Live Well Challenge we spoke with purpose coach and motivational speaker, Patrice Washington on all things finding your passion/ purpose and why understanding the difference between the two can be the first step into your best life.
“Passion is that thing that fuels you. It gets you excited, it energizes you. It’s the thing that you can do all day and completely lose track of time. When we talk about purpose, purpose is that thing that we do, that actually impacts others. That means it’s going to leave you more fulfilled because you see that, that natural gift that you have can actually be a blessing to others.” Washington shared.
