I was raised to not believe in passion but to just work hard and don’t depend on anyone so now I am struggling on receiving help, or even knowing how I can follow and find my passion

[@lauriexwang]

Thank you for sharing your story. It's understandable to feel this way. Try exploring different interests and allow yourself to be curious. Seeking support from mentors or communities can also provide guidance and new perspectives. Remember, it's okay to ask for help and take your time finding what truly excites you.

Same here!

Love your videos. As a asian descendant I felt big deal of pressure to do something amazing with my life and here I am at 45 starting from zero (again). Two years ago I felt like I let everybody down, but now I don't care what people might or may not say. This new feeling scares me a bit but the liberty to do what I'm passionate to do is stronger. Thank you ❤

[@lauriexwang]

Thank you for sharing your story, I can definitely relate. It's never too late to start anew, and it's inspiring to hear that you're following your passion despite the pressure. Embracing your own path is a courageous step, and I'm glad my videos could be a part of your journey. Wishing you all the best as you pursue what truly makes you happy. Thank you for your kind words and support! ❤️

Feeling so lost with career options as I feel like I only know what I don't like, but not what I truly like. This video came out at such perfect timing. Thank you Laurie.

[@lauriexwang]

Yep, I've totally been through that too, and I'm glad this video can help you on the journey ahead!

[@simonalexandero]

Great point on how it's not about finding this single career or title that's "the" passion, and ikigai can lead to a more fulfilling and purposeful life.

[@lauriexwang]

Well said! 🙌

Your insights really hit home. I love how you emphasize exploring different interests and being patient with the process. Something I really struggled with.

[@lauriexwang]

Totally feel you there, I'm glad the insights resonated with you. Exploring different interests and being patient can be challenging, but it's all part of the journey. You've got this 🙌

My passion is to sit at a tiki bar on a pacific island beach sipping on rum runners at night and surfing all day. I used to surf all day as a teen, I was happy then.

[@lauriexwang]

Sounds wonderful! 🙌

I quit my job almost 2 years ago teaching at university where I realised that I do love teaching but not the subject that I was teaching and I had spent years learning and specialising in. I love sharing my knowledge and things I’ve learned with others but I’ve not been able to figure out what I can actually teach others that I am actually interested in. I guess I need to recognise or learn a skill that I enjoy enough to then help others with it. Still struggling with it though. 😅

[@lauriexwang]

Thank you for sharing your journey with me. It’s a big step to recognize that you love teaching but need to find a subject that truly sparks your passion. It’s okay to feel uncertain-it’s all part of the process. Sometimes, the path to discovering what you want to teach comes from exploring new interests and allowing yourself the space to experiment. Don’t be too hard on yourself as you figure it out; the right direction will reveal itself in time. Keep exploring, and trust that your passion for teaching will guide you to where you’re meant to be. 🙌❤️

[@eddiemattison7792]

Appreciate your straightforwardness

[@lauriexwang]

You're welcome and thanks for watching, I hope that video helped to clear up some of the confusions that I also had previously about finding the passion.

[@eddiemattison7792]

@@lauriexwang Yes, I think so, and I think it helped me , lol, be ok with not pinning it down to a thing, but recognizing just working on "what's there".

[@SimplyKatieWalks]

Hard work is the key. Great video!🎉

[@lauriexwang]

Yes! Thank you! 🙌

[@user-vk5kj4dy9t]

most ppl just go into fields that have big growth, make money. passions and love don't pay the bills and its for ppl who have generational wealth already. passion jobs usually don't pay much either

[@findinggreatness]

Yes maam please help multi for sure

Yep totally been there. Ikigai helped me a lot as a multi-passionate person. 🙌
