Detach from the idea of needing to “make money” from your passion
Reflect on things you enjoyed doing as a child or growing up

Define and understand your values
Knowing your values (recommended quiz) helps you understand what’s important to you specifically and can help you see if you current life is aligning with your values or not.
Rocking Chair Test
Imagine yourself in your old age, sitting on a rocking chair reflecting on your life. What are you happy you did? What do you regret spending time on?
