79 — Living a Passionate Life with Performance Coach John R. Miles

There’s often pressure to develop a “passion” in life. But you can still still live a fulfilling life even if there’s not an easily identifiable thing you feel passionate about. Instead, you can create a passionate lifestyle where you feel fulfilled and mentally strong, even if there’s not one thing you really love to do.
 
John Miles is the author of the book “Passion Struck,” a roadmap for intentional living, and hosts a popular podcast of the same name which dives deep into discovering and harnessing one’s passion for purposeful living. Some of the things John shares are how to live a passion struck life, how to change your perspective on things, and how to be intentional in your actions.

Key Takeaways:

• Exploring new experiences is crucial to uncovering personal passions and living a life that matters.
• The concept of being “passion struck” is an ongoing process, not a one-time achievement.
• Intentional choices and self-awareness are foundations for constructing a fulfilling and meaningful life.
• Cognitive reframing is a powerful tool for shifting perspectives and gaining different insights into life’s challenges.
• Integrating intentionality into daily life, aligning actions with core values, and aspirations can lead to a more significant, joyous life.
