Pursue Your Passion — It’s Never Too Late
“Purpose and Passion Are Two Great Fuels That Produces Great Power When Combined Together.”— Lia Dunlap (06:23-07:04)
You’ve likely heard a lot of influencers discuss the importance of pursuing your passion. It’s a self-discovery journey that strengthens social bonds and your learning process. In this episode, Lia Dunlap shares her perspective about pursuing your passion.
Part One of ‘Pursue Your Passion — It’s Never Too Late’
The word passion causes distress for people who are still figuring out what they were born to do. Remember, that fire of passion inside of you is connected to your unique life purpose. You can have the greatest job or the nicest things in the world but still, miss your true passion and purpose in life.
“Your passion is like a map that leads you to a place where you’re meant to create, build and experience things.” – Lia Dunlap (00:41-01:48)
The essence of knowing our purpose is that it leads us back to delivering our purpose. Life without passion is like driving on a road that will lead you to dead ends and not knowing where to go. If you combine passion and purpose together, you can experience life on a different level.
When we start to follow our passion, there are days when there's a sense that feels hollow. It feels like there's something more that can be in your life and you don't know what it is. If you're in that position, remember that all it takes is to listen to where your passion is leading you.
When you focus on your passion, you can start to develop a real career path or a real launch.
It could be a startup launch based on all the experiences that you had when it comes to building that passion. There may be things you're already doing today that are signs of what you're passionate about. There are experiences that you've had that are completely aligned with your purpose.
It's kind of always working in the background no matter what you're doing to try to reach that point. Think about the past jobs that you've had. You probably think you've never learned anything from working in a fast-food industry. But if you think about it, whatever job you've had in the past, you can see areas that work that enjoyed doing. And those small things serve as a clue to what you're most passionate about.

You could be a 60-year-old marathon runner but there's a lot of room for you to develop that. Unlike someone who's starting out, they need a higher level of commitment because they have a long way to go. The beauty of it is if you're doing things when you're older, you have more years of experience to bring with you. Even if it's later in life, you are a person who has the power to commit to a choice.
“There will always be signposts along the way to lead us what we’re most aligned to do in this world.” – Lia Dunlap (14:17-14:29)
There are people out there diving into their passions so that they can feel fulfilled in their lives. Wake up feeling like you've got your life in front of you instead of regretting going to work. Ask yourself what it would be like if you could wake up and feel that excitement to work. You can achieve anything whatever service or product you're going to work with. Because all it matters is if it makes you feel aligned with what you were born to do.
