Have you ever experienced moments where you feel unmotivated or stagnant with your life? Where every step you take feels like the wrong one. Don’t fret! You are not the only one.  When going through moments like this you have to reel back and reevaluate your purpose. These days, most humans usually get caught up in the present that they forget what they are working toward. When it comes to securing the bag, ladies, you can’t forget what you’re passionate about. So, here are some things to remember while trying to reach success.  

    First, remember the things that bring you joy. Your passions usually align with the hobbies you have. These are the things you love to do even if money isn’t involved. You can use your hobbies to find motivation to bounce back into those money-making ventures. Doing things you love such as journaling, dancing, singing, etc. is a way for you to release the pressures of the world and be in tune with yourself. And don’t forget that these things can be turned into a profit too. There are so many people in the world who make money by simply doing what they love. That can be you too, sis. Remember its bag season. 

    Another thing to remember is to allot time to enhancing your passion. Your passion usually stems from something that you create rather than consume meaning you should spend time perfecting it. Take time out of you day, week, or month and dedicate it to the things you love. Once again, this will help motivate you into doing things that you are less enthusiastic about. Being successful means you have to give your all to whatever you are doing, so some added motivation won’t hurt. Make sure you allow time for you to regroup.

    If you aren’t sure what your passion is, don’t worry! You still have plenty of time to figure it out. You can find you passion by simply trying different forms of creation. Think of the things that bring you interest and try them out. If one thing doesn’t work, try the next thing. When you find yourself constantly trying to enhance this hobby and genuinely loving it, then you have found your passion. Usually, the thing you are running away from is the thing you’re passionate about. 

    Ladies, securing the bag may seem easy, but it can be even easier when you incorporate your passion. It can give you the motivation you need. So, don’t forget to create more and watch yourself flourish!
