How to Own Being Multi-Passionate

Freaking own it!

•

Get it? Got it? Good?

•

No? Okay, well I didn’t get it for a while either.

•

Being multi-passionate had me frustrated since early junior high or as soon as the “So what do you want to do when you grow up?’ question started getting asked just a little too often.

• 

My answer to that changed about every hour.

1️⃣ I could ranch

2️⃣ I could teach

3️⃣ I could be a graphic designer

4️⃣ I could be a journalist

5️⃣ I could do floral design

6️⃣ I could be a painter

And boy that sure did leave me confused, flustered and in quite the tizzy.

This continued in college and made picking a business to start HARD.

I often asked myself…

What if I make the wrong decision?

What if my time is actually supposed to be spent elsewhere?

What if I suck at what I decide to do?

What if this is just meant to be a hobby that no one else should know about?

I remember finding myself crying in the office of my mentor and just saying “I DON’T KNOW WHAT TO DO OR WHERE TO START!”

He listened, let me finish, paused and gave me the best advice I’ve ever been given. 

“Shaye, live your life in such a way that you fuel all aspects of your soul. You can do more than one thing.”

I was speechless. For what felt like the first time in my life I felt like I was given permission to do it all. The only thing left to do was give myself permission to start.

And so I did and here are some steps to help you do the same.⬇️

1️⃣ Accept and embrace that you are interested and passionate in multiple areas.

God made you who you are for a reason and they will all allow you to grow and connect with others in a unique and powerful way.

2️⃣ Decide how much time you want to dedicate to each.

You can respect each of these passions by just recognizing you have them and spending the time you want on them. I put most of my time towards podcasting and a lot towards working out. I put a little less time towards helping youth, painting and photography.

3️⃣ Make a list of all your passions/interests and look at how they feed into your life and how they will help you accomplish your goals.

You can do step 3 first if you like. Maybe a passion ties into your career or maybe it just keeps you sane and is fun. Whatever it is, it is getting you where you need to be in some way.

Go own your $4!T and you do you buckaroo.🔥🤠
