These are literally copy and paste scripts that you can use in all kinds of situations to get a man to ask you out, to create attraction and desire, and to become the most intriguing woman in his life. Now, I'm gonna tell you exactly how you can get your free guide at the end of the show. So stay tuned. First, let's get into the episode.

We are back with another caller today, and on the line we have Raimy. Raimy, are you there?

Hi, Matt.

Hi, Raimy. How are you?

I'm good. How are you?

I'm very good. I'm very good. I'm eager to hear your question.

Okay, so my question is, I was wondering because I'm a college student, but I think it can apply to anyone. So I was wondering how to go about finding your passion in life and then what steps you can take to make sure you're successful with what you're passionate about.

What do you think could be an issue with trying to locate your passion? In fact, what issue are you having right now as you're trying to find your passion?

Well, in college, they give us so many things that like required that we have to take. So there's a lot of things that I like to do, but I don't know one thing that I really want to do. Like I'm trying to decide what I want to do for the rest of my life. And it's kind of confusing.

Yeah, absolutely. And if you phrase it like that, it will be an impossible endeavor. And that's the problem is, of course, you answered your own question, which is you have many interests. you have many things that you're into. So the idea of finding your one true passion is near enough impossible. Because the truth is 99.9% of people don't have one true passion. They're passionate about many different things in life. So the point is that you trying to search for your one true passion is a complete waste of time. Because rarely when you hear people talk about what they ended up doing and being passionate about, Do you ever hear them say that that's where they started and that's where they thought they would end up?

Very true.

You know, so you can be interested in lots of different things. My advice to you is this. The only thing you need to worry about right now is starting somewhere that you have a mild interest in. The second step is once you're in that thing, focus on providing value, focus on being amazing for whoever it is that employs you or for whatever it is you do, you need to bring value to the table. Because ultimately, that's always going to be the thing that allows you the flexibility to do what you want to do. Whenever people start by saying, for example, a typical person might say, well, I want to travel and I want to work with people. So I'm going to start a lifestyle blog and I'm going to travel around blogging and meeting people, and then they end up broke in six months and they have to come home. It's not a productive way to start. You have to start by giving value. by providing value. And the only way to provide value is to get really good at something.

Okay.

I have found in my life that it's more important to get good at something than to continuously worry and labor over what to get good at. Yeah.

Just get good at something.

Get good at something. Because guess what? When you get good at something, people will start taking notice of you. And when people start taking notice of you, here's what they'll do in their mind. They'll go, ah. She's good at, Raimi's good at this thing. So I bet she's good at that thing as well. And they'll start to give you opportunities you never even imagined could come to you because what matters is credibility. Not credibility in just one way, the credibility that can be attained by being successful in the thousands of different ways that one can become successful. So I don't want you to worry continuously about which mountain to climb. I just want you to start climbing.

Yeah, okay, great. Thank you. That was great advice. I never thought of it that way.

Perfect. And it takes the pressure off, does it not?

Yeah, definitely.

Perfect. Thank you so much for calling, Raimi.

I really appreciate it.

Have a wonderful day.
