What is the Passion Puzzle™?
The Passion Puzzle™ is a unique activity designed to help you discover what career you will have passion for. Created by Andrew Hewitt and Luc d'Abadie, the Passion Puzzle™ activity was first introduced in the bestselling book, The Power of Focus for College Students. It has changed the lives of people from all walks of life and from around the world. Here's a glimpse of its powerful outcomes:
"The Passion Puzzle™ instantly gave me clarity and direction. I never knew something so simple and fun could be life changing."
"Immediately after Luc and Andrew did the Passion Puzzle™ workshop with my grade 12 students I went home and did the activity with my husband. We cleared off a huge table and completed a Passion Puzzle™ for our own lives. WOW what amazing insights we gained into our own adult lives. This activity is great for students and adults looking to gain clarity on what they're really wired to do."
"The Passion Puzzle™ opened my eyes to career options I had previously ignored. I am now considering entrepreneurship over a corporate atmosphere and feel so much more confident in my future career path."
The Passion Puzzle™ is founded on the belief that passion is not a single thing you put your finger on. So you can relax knowing there isn't one passion needle in the haystack of your life. Instead, passion is a powerful emotion that is created when four things come together: your values, interests, skill and ambitions. A career that you are passionate about is therefore a career that:
- Aligns with what you value
- Is in line with your interests
- Uses your skills
- Supports your ambitions
These four ingredients act like a fuel that, when combined and applied to your career, ignites the emotion of passion. The more fuel you throw on the fire (the more your values, interests, skills and ambitions are applied through your work), the larger the flame will be (the more passion your work will give you). An easy way to remember these four all-important ingredients is the word VISA.
Values
Interests
Skills
Ambitions
Removing one element of VISA from your career will dramatically decrease or possibly even eliminate any passion you have for that career. Your values, interests, skills and ambitions need to align with your work, if they don't, you will not have passion for what you do.
"The most powerful weapon on earth is the human soul on fire."
Do you see the good news? This means that many different careers can give you passion. Finding a career you are passionate about no longer needs to be a tireless search. Simply uncover your values, interests, skills and ambitions and then see what career options are in line with them.
