yoga and perhaps getting the dishes done this week, and somehow you forget that your life’s purpose isn’t accomplishing your to-do list. We all get caught up in our crazy, chaotic lives. Yet, if we don’t consciously take steps to live our passion, we’ll just be surviving and not actually be living. One of my favorite ways to incorporate our passions into our everyday lives is to teach. Sharing what we love with others can be an incredible part of a purposeful life. And the best part is that anyone can be a teacher, mentor or coach today. It’s all a matter of accepting the challenging. Anyone Can Teach Their Passion I never set out to be a teacher. But stumbled into the martial arts when I married my husband, and 23 years later, I’m still happiest teaching karate to elementary school kids. Their tiny accomplishments simply make my day, and it’s incredibly rewarding when they come back and tell me how much they enjoyed taking my class years later. It’s the best job in

the world. And with today’s technology, there are no limits or boundaries on teaching one’s passion. You don’t need a special degree, just the desire to share what you love with others. In blog your Passion, Jonathan Milligan explains his goal is to teach 1000 people how to quit their day jobs and work as fulltime bloggers. In an interview with Kajabi, the platform he uses to host his membership site, Milligan explains: “Many people do not realize that when they tap into their passion and begin to share it with others, new energy starts to show up in their lives. Don’t get caught in the lie that life is supposed to be stressful and exhausting all the time. There is another way to live.” Some may want to create an online course while others may want to share helpful tips on YouTube. And the best part is there are no barriers and no limits on what’s possible to learn online. There are now teaching platforms available for anyone who has the desire to help people learn something new. Omtimes.com
