How to Find Passion – And Find Your Blog Topic

By Mikkel Juhl On October 1, 2009 Under General

blogging_requires_passionPassion is important. Especially when we are talking about content creation. If you have passion for your topic you will be able to write much better and much more exciting.

Here is how you can check if your passion is in the topic

  • You can talk about the topic for days
  • You keep getting ideas on what to write about

If this fits on you, your passion is in your topic – Well maybe not, but it’s a good sign if these fits.

More on how to find your desired topic later in this blog post.

This quote from Robert Sternberg also gives us a good view of what is good about passion:

“Passion is the quickest to develop, and the quickest to fade. Intimacy develops more slowly, and commitment more gradually still.” -Robert Sternberg

Robert Sternberg is an American psychologist and psychometrician – He is 59 years old right know – You can read more about him on Wikipedia

Robert isn’t the only one who thinks passion is great – Even Oprah Winfrey.

“Passion is energy, feel the power that comes from focusing on what excites you.”

What is Passion?

Passion is an emotion, it is applied to a strong feeling about a thing (your blogging topic). Passion is an intense emotion. A feeling or desire for something (blog topic). Passion is also applied to an interest.

Find Your Passion

  1. What excites you?
  2. What is easy for you?
  3. What is kicking your creativity to top?
  4. What would you do for free?
  5. What do you like to talk about?

Keep writing, even though it seems hard, some day you probably will find your passion – try, try! If you don’t try, you will never get started – it is important.

Passion is what I lost when I stopped my blogs a few months ago. I’ve recently started blogging on a subject that I really liked which is personal finance.

For me, passion is what separates you from the rest.

My problem is that I am passionate about too many things! I have too many things I want to write about! There are several blog niches I am interested in. Now to narrow them down!

You can’t possible be passionate about that many things that much.

There must be something you are more passionate about, than another. Just choose what you like the most.
