Sometimes our passion for something dies, we cannot find the motivation to do what we love so much before. Actually your passion really never die, you just get sick and tired of it because you can't see the reward, sometimes you want to make money from it but you can't make it. You want to get more from what you're doing but you feel stuck and not progressing.
Here are the ways where you can find your passion again.
1. Look for something you can copy.
Copy your idol, copy your neighbor's work, copy someone who is succeeding. Don't be afraid to imitate, don't be afraid to look like a copy cat. This is the best way to produce something, if you feel lost and don't know what to do then just copy someone who is thriving, copy all of his style that leads to success. Don't worry because you can still add your own style into his style that will produce a more unique result. Because sometimes you will really feel like you hit the plateau and can't seem to find a process that will work for you at the same time you will enjoy. This happens to everyone, don't feel ashamed of copying someone, just make sure you are not copying everything, copy someone and add something to it, add your idea, tweak it and make it yours, in that case you will never look an imitator anymore. Everybody do this, no one is original nowadays. Me too, I am copying from someone if I can't find a something to do but I didn't copy the whole thing, I only copy some parts and then add my flavor to it.
2. Look back to your past where you become successful
Sometimes all you have to do is remember what made you feel really good and successful. You can find a lot of memories in the past where you are dominating and killing it. Try to remember the process that made you really feel excited, there is a time when you are winning and progressing fast, remember those times and repeat it now. Repeat the process and see if it will still work.
3. Push yourself and get lost
Get crazy with the process, don't be afraid to get lost because you can always come back again. You can repeat again every time you made a mistake. Go crazy with the process, push yourself and see what you can get. It's fun to get lost, your mind will be stretched if you're having a hard time, there is nothing to lose if you're moving, you are only losing if you are procrastinating because a lot of time to become great was being wasted for nothing. Don't throw away your time, never squander any of it because it's the only thing you can use to become successful.
4. Don't look for immediate success
Just relax, you have a lot of time. Success will come to you if you are giving your very best. Every time you rush the process you make mistakes, just enjoy every step of the way and take your time. Enjoy every step, have a lot of fun. Success will come, you don't need to get need of it, if it's yours it's yours but you need to make sure you are working like hell and giving everything you've got.
5. Stay you.
Just be yourself. Do what you really want, never do something that feels so heavy for you. You have to look for something that ignites your soul. Being yourself will make you find your passion back easier, look at those people who are doing the things they hate just for the sake of money... they feel lost, they get depressed. You have to be yourself even if results and progress were not happening. Never do something that only gives your life a burden. Be honest with yourself, do what your mind is heart to do.
6. Disconnect from the outcome.
Never mind if you are failing, never mind if you are not producing something good. You will feel worse if you're always checking if your work is good or making money. Forget the outcome and focus on giving your best. By doing this you will feel more free and creative. If the money wasn't the issue then all people will become passionate. The number one reason why people are not doing the things they love is because of the money. Forget the money and just have fun with the things that gets you excited.
7. Just start.
All you have to do is start and that's it... you will make results, you will create a momentum, you will get back on track. Make it a habit to start every time you feel lazy and unmotivated, this will make you feel proud of yourself because you're doing what is hard. Good feelings will start to be come when are taking actions. You will never find an inspiration if you're always looking for comfort. Decide that you are going to start and just go with the flow. Start now, don't wait for the perfect timing because it will never come. You will feel much better when you start, you will start to get motivated when you allow yourself to just take the first step.
8. Forget about a masterpiece result
Forget about being perfect, forget about being the number one and just do what you want. It is better to be doing something rather than doing nothing. You will never be perfect, your life will never be perfect. The best way is to embrace the imperfections and move forward. And so what if your work is ugly? so what if you're full of flaws? it's ok, forget your identity, never think that you are great and that you are required to create something great. Just produce something, forget about controlling everything.
9. Stick with what you've started.
Once you start, go for the kill, go for the finish, have that finisher mentality. Don't start something and leaving it hanging in the air. Once you start.... never go back, never stop and always look for the next move you can execute so that you can finish it. Most of the time you're always stopping and pausing and resting for nonsense reasons, and this kind of style makes you lazy even more. You have to have that notorious attitude when it comes to finishing, never quit, face the pain of moving, always move forward until you're done. You're babying yourself too much and that's why you can't feel successful. You need to get strict with the way you do things, always go hard, always look for the finish.
