Have you ever felt like you’re just going through the motions, living each day on autopilot without a clear sense of direction? 

It’s a common experience, especially in today’s fast-paced world. But what if I told you that within your daily life, there are hidden clues—moments of passion—that can give you some light towards discovering your Destiny?

Your Passions are more than just hobbies or interests—they are key elements of your God-given Destiny. 

Here is a quick exercise to help you identify what we call  “Passion Moments” and explore how they can point you in the direction of your Destiny and better understand Your Unique Design. 

Step 1: Reflect on Your Recent Experiences

The first step in discovering your Passion Moments is to take a closer look at your recent experiences. Set aside 15 minutes to reflect on the past week, month, or even year. During this time, go back through the activities, interactions, or moments that brought you a sense of joy, fulfillment, or that thrilling excitement. 

These could be big events, like a project at work, or small, everyday activities, like a conversation with a friend or a hobby even.

Exercise:

• Grab a journal or a piece of paper.
• Write down any moments that stand out to you as particularly positive or meaningful.
• Don’t overthink it—just jot down whatever comes to mind.

Guiding Question:
“What moments in the past week, month, or year made you feel truly alive?”

Step 2: Identify Patterns and Themes

Once you’ve written down your Passion Moments, it’s time to look for patterns. Are there certain types of activities that appear frequently? Do these activities share common themes, such as creativity, helping others, or something like problem-solving?

By identifying these patterns, you can start to see how your passions are interconnected and how they might be pointing you towards your Unique Design.

Exercise:

• Review your list of Passion Moments.
• Highlight or circle any recurring activities or themes.
• Consider how these activities make you feel and why they stand out to you.

Reflective Question:
“What patterns do you notice in your Passion Moments? How do these patterns reflect your deeper desires and values?”

Step 3: Connect Your Passions to Your Design

Now that you’ve identified your Passion Moments and the patterns they reveal, it’s time to consider how these passions might connect to your broader life purpose. Your passions are not random—they are what we would consider hints from God that can guide you towards better understanding your unique Design.

Exercise:

• Write a short paragraph about how your Passion Moments could be connected to your Design.
• Consider practical steps you can take to bring more of these moments into your life more often. Can you change your routine to “walk by the park more often”, or stop by the library every Friday? 

Reflective Question:
“What steps can you take to live a more passion-filled life.?”

Discovering your purpose doesn’t have to be a daunting task. 

With Passion Moments, you can identify the activities and experiences that make you feel alive. These moments are more than just momentary joys—they are small hints that can help point you towards your God-given purpose.

Take the time to reflect on your Passion Moments, identify the patterns, and explore how they can lead you to a more fulfilling life. 

Remember, God placed a unique Purpose within you—now it’s time for it to be discovered.
