Janet Attwood on the Birth of the Passion Test

The second realization hit me when she started describing a survey given to the 100 most successful people in the United States. What it turned up was that every single one of those 100 people was living their top five passions. Each of them had built a life around what mattered most to them. I remember thinking, if I could just figure out what my own top five passions were, I'd be right there with these people.

That moment, in a small seminar years ago, is where the thing now known around the world as the Passion Test came from. These days it's the number one tool people reach for when they want to get clear about what they actually want to create in their lives.

So I sat there in that little room and I started asking myself the obvious questions. What would it look like? What do I actually need to do to come up with my own five? And I worked it out. After that, everything changed, because I stopped putting my attention on the things I didn't want and started focusing on what I chose to create. I turned into what I call a passionate magnet. People showed up. Places showed up. The things I wanted started arriving.

My friends noticed. They kept asking me how I was doing it. How are you manifesting like crazy lately? What's going on with you? Did your astrology shift or something? So I told them about the Passion Test, and I started sharing it, and it snowballed from there. And that's how I ended up here.

Eric: That's wonderful. I know you do a lot of international work, and you run a certification program with groups as well. For the people listening who might want to start figuring out their own passions today, could you walk them through it? What are a few simple questions someone can ask themselves to begin?
