Closing the 18-Inch Gap Podcast-EP048: Reignite Your Passion in 2025

In this week's episode I dive into a subject that can easily be dismissed as being elementary, common since, not deep enough, fill in the blank. But I must say that it's as important as anything else I can share with you.  I will be exploring and sharing with you 10 ways to reignite your passion on 2025 by simply keeping this very childlike characteristic going inside you every day.  It's something that has kept me going for a long time and still does to this day.   Quote of the week:  "If you can't figure out your purpose, figure out your passion. For your passion will lead you right into your purpose." — T.D. Jakes Points covered that keep you from reigniting your passion: Belief they already "know enough"  Focus on routine over exploration  Overwhelmed by responsibilities Negative experiences with curiosity in the past  Over-reliance on technology for answers      Assumption that curiosity is only for the young  Focus on immediate survival needs  Burnout or fatigue  Mental health challenges  Unresolved past traumas  Fear of being "wrong"   Lack of time for reflection  Over-attachment to traditional knowledge  Disinterest in others' perspectives   Age-related stereotypes   Fear of disrupting the status quo   Unresolved childhood conditioning   Over-focus on linear career paths   Social media echo chambers   Over-scheduling of life  Did anything resonate with you?  Do you want to explore deeper how I can help you with this topic?  If so, reach out to me and let me know. Simply send me an email to [email protected] and let me know what your question is and how we can connect. I always offer a free, complementary, coaching session where we can explore how I can help you and you can see coaching action for yourself.  If this was your first time, I'm glad you're listening, and I hope you can come back for more podcast episodes.  In the meantime, feel free to listen to all the previous ones I have.  You can find them in your favorite podcast directory.   I can't wait to be here with you next week but until then keep closing that 18- inch gap!
