The Passion Test Results

The Passion Test Profile - Results

Here are the results of your Passion Test Profile. Read through the results carefully to see where you are aligned with your passions and where there is still room for growth.

Question 1:
I am excited about my life and turned on by the things I get to do each day.

Your Answer:
Sometimes

You are torn between the desire to follow your heart and your beliefs about what you think you HAVE to do. You may feel that you can't do what you love because you have responsibilities, or others who need your help, or because you need money. These are all beliefs that are keeping you separated from joy and fulfillment.

You may find yourself doing things so you can convince yourself that you are a good person. So you sacrifice your own needs and desires to serve others, because that's what good people do.

The reality is that the greatest gift you can give to anyone is being filled with joy. When you are doing things out of sense of duty, or responsibility, rather than out of a sense of joy, how do you feel?

Do you get irritated, frustrated, and short-tempered? Do you take your unhappiness out on those around you?

If this is the case, are you really serving anyone else? The truth is, if you don't feel joy in caring for others, in looking after them, or supporting them, than you are doing a disservice to yourself and to them.

When you do what is best for you, you are simultaneously doing what is best for others. When you clarify the things that mean most to you in your life, and then make your choices based on what will allow you to align your life with those things, then you will not only enjoy your life more yourself, but others will also enjoy being around you.

You are at a turning point. This is your chance to permanently shift your life in the direction of joy and fulfillment. All it requires is making the commitment.

The first step is to get The Passion Test book and go through this simple, yet powerful process for aligning your life with the things that mean most to you.

You may find there some old habits which have to change. It takes about 21 days to create a new habit. So, begin now, and use The Passion Test as your user's manual to create a whole new life for yourself.

Question 2:
Others comment on how happy I am and what fun it is to be around me.

Your Answer:
Never

There are two possible things going on here. Either you are denying yourself the things you really love, or you are naturally an inward-directed person.

If the latter is the case, then you love spending time by yourself. Your life is characterized by a deep inner peace. The life of a monk or a nun is very appealing to you. You may enjoy long periods of reflection or meditation, and you don't need a lot of outer stimulation to be happy.

If this does not describe your life, then something else is going on. You are caught in the illusion that you can't do the things you love for one reason or another. Maybe you think you can't make a living from your passions. Or maybe you have the idea that following your passions would be irresponsible.

Whatever the concepts are, they are keeping you from your joy. It's no accident you love the things you love and as long as you continue to believe you can't do what you love, you will be more and more miserable.

Fortunately, the solution is easily accessible. Take The Passion Test to identify the things you care most about, and then begin choosing in favor of those things, whenever you're faced with a choice, a decision or an opportunity.

The odds are the people you spend time with are not very happy with their lives either. If you really want to shift into experience more joy and fulfillment then you have to surround yourself with people who will support you in following your passions.

Give copies of The Passion Test to your family and friends. Create a group who practices applying the principles of living a passionate life. If the people you spend time with aren't able or willing to make the shift, then hang out with different people.

This is your time. It's your time to wake up to the reason you were put on this earth. You have unique and special gifts which no one but you can give. Use The Passion Test to begin discovering your passions and start living the life of fulfillment you deserve.

Question 3:
I get upset and thrown off track when unexpected situations and circumstances arise.

Your Answer:
Frequently

You spend a good deal of your time attempting to force your model of reality on the world outside of you. It's hopeless.

Life is always changing. It will never appear the way you think it should. As long as you try to impose your will on the world, you will only bring yourself misery and suffering.

The key to happiness lies in the recognition that life is your teacher. A certain humility is required. You have to admit that you may not have all the answers.

When you begin to let go of your attachment to the way you think things should be, you will discover there is a whole new world waiting for you. It's a world of wonder, of new possibilities.

As long as you argue with reality, you will lose, and only 100% of the time. So, when you notice yourself, arguing, stop. Take a break. Allow yourself to feel the feelings that are coming up. When they begin to subside, do things which help you feel more open, more expanded. Take a walk, exercise, listen to music, read a good book.

And if you would like to learn how to embrace reality, rather than arguing with it, we recommend The Work of Byron Katie (www.thework.com). In Katie's simple process of investigation, you will discover a new way of looking at the situations and circumstances in your life.

You will begin to realize that there may be other ways of looking at things which bring you more joy and cause less pain.

The Work is just four simple questions and what Katie calls "the turnaround." Investigate the thoughts which cause unhappiness, and you will step into a world filled with peace and overflowing with delightful surprises, surprises you never would have dreamed were possible before.

Question 4:
I am very clear about the top five passions in my life, those things that matter most to me.

Your Answer:
Crystal clear

Your life is full and purposeful. You have a clear sense of direction. You know what you want and you are creating that.

Opportunities abound in your life. Your biggest challenge is choosing between them. Others want to be around you and you receive offers and invitations all the time.

You enjoy success in the most important parts of your life. Whether it's in your relationships, your health, your financial life, or your career, others see you as a model to emulate.

Because of your clarity, you might think you don't need to take The Passion Test. If that's the case, remember the experience of Jack Canfield. He's just like you, successful, happy, on fire and living his passions.

Yet, each time Jack has taken The Passion Test he has gained new insights which have allowed him to create even more joy in his life. We predict that will be your experience as well.

Congratulations on creating a life worth living. Continue the process of increasing clarity as you choose in favor of the things that matter most to you and you will be amazed that just when you thought it couldn't get any better, it does.

Question 5:
I make decisions based on what will help me live my passions most fully.

Your Answer:
Rarely

Life has not been easy for you. You have done your best to make others happy at the cost of the things you care most about.

You have felt bound and constricted by the commitments you've made and the expectations of others. You may even have thought sometimes that it was just too much to continue.

Now you are ready for that to change. That's why you came to this website. You may feel discouraged and not very hopeful, but you are here.

It is possible for your experience to change dramatically, and it doesn't have to take a long time. It doesn't require jumping off a cliff. You don't have to quit your job or abandon your family to begin following your passions.

You just have to get clear about what it is that is really, truly important to you. That's what The Passion Test is for.

Your first step to a new life is going through The Passion Test to discover your top five passions, the things that matter most to you.

After that, it's using these five passions as the basis for making your choices and decisions. When old fears raise their heads, when you find yourself choosing to do things, not because you love doing them, but because you feel you have to, then use The Work of Byron Katie (www.thework.com) to unravel those limiting beliefs.

You have the power to change your life. It just begins with the commitment to make choices that bring you closer to the things you love. It begins now.

Question 6:
I spend my days doing things I love, surrounded by people I love.

Your Answer:
Rarely

It's been hard for you, hasn't it? You have denied yourself in order to make others happy. But how can you ever make others happy when you are not happy?

Happiness is like the fragrance from a flower. It radiates and draws all good things to itself. To make others happy, requires becoming happy yourself.

Have you ever noticed that it's more fun to be around people who are happy? Becoming happy and radiating that happiness to others is one of the greatest gifts you have to give.

The way to become happy is by aligning your life with the things you love, the things you care most about. These are what we call your "passions."

The Passion Test is a simple, yet powerful way to discover what those things are. Take The Test, and take it again and again, until your top five passions don't change much.

Then begin making decisions in favor of those top five passions. You'll discover your world begins to change.

It doesn't require jumping off a cliff. It just requires the commitment to choose in favor of your passions, day by day. As you do this, your life will become more and more joyful, little by little, bit by bit. Until one day you'll wake up and realize that you love your life.

Question 7:
Life is confusing for me. I don't have a clear sense of direction in my life.

Your Answer:
Very little sense of direction

You've been taught all your life what to do to be happy and successful. But when you do the things you've been taught, you are miserable. What's wrong with this picture?

When the things you've been told don't bring the promised result, what do you do? What direction do you turn?

You find yourself living for Friday and dreading Monday. You find yourself searching for an escape from what has become a humdrum existence.

If you've married, then there was some hope and sense of purpose for a while, but then it wasn't enough. Something was missing.

The missing piece is the connection to your own heart's longing. Your heart has been trying to tell you the path to fulfillment, but your beliefs about what you "needed" to do have drowned out that voice of passion inside.

As a result, life lacks a sense of purposefulness. Purpose arises from being connected to the things you care most deeply about.

All that's required to recover that sense of direction is clarity. Take The Passion Test and uncover the passions that lie deep in your heart. Get clear about the things that really matter to you.

These are the things that are leading you to fulfill your purpose in life. As long as you deny them, you will feel like you are on a ship without a rudder--first being pushed this way then that way.

But when you identify your top five passions, and then begin making choices which allow you to live those things more fully, you will find your life naturally begins to be filled with a sense of purpose.

You don't have to try hard. You don't have to wait for lightning to strike and awaken you to your life's purpose. You just have to get clear about what you love, and then align your life with those things.

The results will seem almost magical. You will begin to experience things that seem like miracles. And you will be filled with a sense of your personal mission, without even knowing how you got there.

You are unique. You have special gifts. No one else can give the world the gifts you have to share. It's your time, now.
