Ep 48: How to Find Your Passion & Purpose | The Passion Test with Janet Attwood

What if the reason you feel stuck isn't that you need another goal—but that you're putting your attention on things that don't truly matter to you?

In this episode of the Swedish Wealth Institute Podcast, Daniel Wood sits down with Janet Attwood, co-creator of The Passion Test, for something different: Janet takes Daniel through The Passion Test live.

Rather than simply talking about finding your passion, you'll hear the process in action as Daniel identifies ten things he wants from life, compares them one by one, reduces them to his five biggest passions, scores how fully he's living each one, and creates markers for what living them at a 10 would actually look like.

The results lead to a remarkably personal conversation about family, relationships, physical growth, the Swedish Wealth Institute, happiness, purpose, and where Daniel is—and isn't—putting his attention.

Janet also shares her formula for living a passionate life:

Intention. Attention. No tension.

Intention means becoming clear about what you choose to create. Attention means directing your focus toward it. No tension means taking action and then releasing the need to force the outcome.

In this episode, you'll discover:

✔ How to identify what matters most to you
 ✔ The step-by-step process behind The Passion Test
 ✔ Why your passions can act as “breadcrumbs” toward your purpose
 ✔ How to rank competing priorities when everything feels important
 ✔ Why choosing “lesser things” can pull you away from the life you want
 ✔ How to score how fully you're currently living your passions
 ✔ What “markers” are and how to create them
 ✔ Why clarity can change where you put your time and attention
 ✔ Janet's “intention, attention, no tension” formula
 ✔ Why letting go can be as valuable as taking action
 ✔ How parents can use The Passion Test to better understand their children
 ✔ How coaches can use passion and clarity to better understand their clients
 ✔ What it takes to become a certified Passion Test facilitator

Daniel's Top Five Passions

During the exercise, Daniel identifies five priorities that rise above everything else:

1. Watching his children grow while helping them achieve their dreams
2. Building the Swedish Wealth Institute into a world-changing movement
3. Building an amazing future with his queen
4. Feeling grounded, happy, humble, and seeing the world with childlike awe
5. Pushing his physical limits to see how far his body can go

But identifying them is just the beginning.

Janet then asks Daniel to score how fully he's currently living each one.

That's where the exercise becomes much more revealing.

Knowing what matters and actually allocating your life around it are two different things.

Try The Passion Test Yourself

Start by completing this sentence:

“When my life is ideal, I am…”

Write down the things that matter most across areas such as relationships, health, career, learning, spirituality, environment, and fun.

Then ask yourself:

If I could have one of these things but never have the other, which would I choose?

Continue comparing them until you've identified your five biggest passions.

Then score each one from 0–10 based on how fully you're living it today.

Finally, create “markers”: observable evidence that would exist if you were living that passion at a 10.

As Janet explains, clarity gives you a much better chance of directing your attention toward what you actually want.
