Ask yourself; if I had to choose between the first activity and the second,
which is more appealing to me? If you get stuck, close your eyes and
envision a life in which the first activity plays a major role and the second
doesnt exist. Now switch them. Which life feels better? Once you have
your answer put your finger on the winner and compare the choice with
the third activity. Repeat this exercise all the way around, moving your
finger to the winning activity each time. When you complete the loop,
your finger will be on your number one passion. Write that activity down
at the top of the list below, then draw an X over its circle. Repeat until
youve filled out your five passions, in order.
