One trick is to watch what you do. If you keep inexplicably being drawn to something when other people wouldn't be, you probably like it.
You can also try standing apart from yourself and just watching what makes you happy. That's a bit complicated because your happiness is usually a function of the "trailing average" of what you've been doing lately. E.g. if you're happy having a beer in the evening, is it simply because you like beer, or because you like having a beer after having gotten something done that day?
- josh_nyc 18y agoExactly... and therein lies the difficulty: "standing apart from yourself." I guess that's why vocalizing your thoughts aloud to a confidant can help you "see" your thoughts outside your head.
- unalone 18y agoThat's why writing a blog is such a great idea. If you keep one not for marketing but just for personal thoughts, you find that you learn more about yourself than you'd expect. (I'm nearing my blog's one-year anniversary, and I find that writing in it has really solidified a lot of my views, among other things.)
- hwijaya 18y ago"If you keep inexplicably being drawn to something when other people wouldn't be, you probably like it". I totally agree with this one. If you do something that you love, it will just pull it out from you. Realize it or not, sometimes i see people living in denial because they can't believe that's their passions even though it's very apparent from other people's eyes.
