Joy Wasted with KB Dickey

Hey fam, we are having a Rich Auntie Talk today!

Let’s talk about something that’s been buzzing in my mind lately: passion. Our guy John Maxwell, the leadership guru, has this brilliant take on how passion ramps up our willpower. He throws three heavy-hitter questions our way to really get us thinking about what drives us. So, grab a cup of coffee (or tea, if that’s your vibe) and let’s dive in!

1. What Do You Sing About?

First up, what do you sing about? Now, we all know I love to belt out some tunes on Smule, but this question goes deeper. What makes your heart sing? What gets you up in the morning, ready to tackle the day with a smile? Maybe it’s your family, your work, or that side hustle you’re building from scratch. Think about those moments when you feel genuinely happy and fulfilled. That’s your passion talking!

2. What Do You Cry About?

Next, what do you cry about? This isn’t just about what makes you sad, but what tugs at your heartstrings. What issues, injustices, or challenges make you emotional? This question is all about tapping into those things that matter to you on a deep level. For me, it’s seeing people struggle when I know they have so much potential. It’s those moments when I see someone giving up on their dreams because they don’t have the right support or resources. What about you? What breaks your heart?

3. What Do You Dream About?

Lastly, what do you dream about? This one’s about looking forward. What vision do you have for your future? What’s that big, audacious goal that keeps you going even when times are tough? For me, it’s building that media empire, creating financial freedom for myself and others, and making a real impact in people’s lives. Your dreams are the fuel that keeps your passion burning bright.

Connecting the Dots

John Maxwell’s questions are like a roadmap to understanding your passion. The first two questions — what you sing about and what you cry about — tap into what moves you today. These are the things that resonate with you right now, in the moment. The third question — what you dream about — is all about future fulfillment. It’s about where you want to go and what you want to achieve.

When you connect these dots, you get a clear picture of what drives you. And let me tell you, understanding your passion is a game-changer. It’s what gives you the willpower to push through challenges, stay focused, and keep moving forward, no matter what.

Why It Matters

Here’s the real deal: passion isn’t just a nice-to-have; it’s a must-have. It’s what gives you the energy to keep going, even when the road gets tough. It’s what turns obstacles into stepping stones and setbacks into comebacks. So, take some time to answer these questions for yourself. Reflect on what makes you sing, cry, and dream.

And remember, walking in someone else’s shoes can give you perspective, but walking in the Rich Auntie Squad’s shoes? I dare you to prosper!

Keep shining and stay passionate,
Your Joy Wasted Rich Auntie!
