While this is intended for achieving a sense of fulfillment in your life while working, most individuals are torn between doing what they love and surviving.

Being yourself comes down to prioritizing yourself and your dreams. It's tempting now more than ever to get lost in the identity, opinions, and dreams of others now more than ever, and this could come from the fear of challenges when chasing your dreams, and the fear of failure. While these are valid, the benefits of following your dreams far outweigh the cons.

Hey I'm Listening With Dr. JoanDiscovering Your Passion | Dr. Joan speaks with Jamar Part 1Discovering your passion is one of the greatest gifts that you can have. It takes you through a journey of self-discovery and self-approval rather than being dependent on external approval. Some people find their passion quite easily, others have to go through a long process to discover what they are passionate about. And this could take doing things you are not passionate about to find your passion. First, you have to decide to be yourself and know that it takes work to sit down, meditate, reflect, find your passion, and ask “What is my goal?”

She eloquently speaks about our need and desire to belong and our unwillingness to sometimes claim the rights and privileges that come with belonging to a spiritual and natural family. She connects this teaching to Romans 8: 14-17.
