Passion

Today I wanted to share with you something I know you must have to be completely full-filled in your life. Passion is that delicious high lifting energy that births our ideas, our vision, and our inspiration into the physical world. It is the energy that drives us into action, so that our dreams can become a reality.

Nothing changes in our lives without the driving force of passion - whether that passion be out of love or need. When we are passionately engaged with life, we are constantly in a state of birthing, and creating on a physical level. We create new circumstances, opportunities, results and relationships. If passion is coupled with our creator, we can create truly live remarkable lives.

This is why some people are walking around with smiles on their faces and truly impacting others, not just themselves. While others just kind of cruise through life, unaware of where they are going, or how they are making a difference (so sad).

If you are missing anything in your life, this is the one thing you just cannot miss. Your passion doesn't necessarily have to be your career, it can be your hobby too. Taking time out of our days to pursue our passions, is so vitally important, that it is one of the first things I try to help people to disclose when coaching them.

Many of us are scared of this powerful force, our passion. As we go through life, we discover disappointment, unfulfilled goals, roadblocks to what we want ... and we learn not to want. We learn that "you can't have it all," or can't have it all at once. We are taught to put others first, to give rather than to receive, and that desire is the root of all suffering. And so most of us learn to suppress passion, to not let desire rise within us until we are practically incapable of discerning what we truly want for ourselves.

My challenge to you this week is to dig deep and make a list of things that drive you. It could be that golf game, teaching career you've always desired, basket weaving, poker, softball, or maybe you want to become a jazz singer. I always say, "If it's Sunday Evening and your dreading going to your job on Monday, that you are truly missing out on your passion." I know of many who have given up many creature comforts to go back to school, start a home based business, pursue real estate, write a book. Whatever it be, remember that life is short and that time is ticking away.

We engage with that vision out of love - love for Spirit, love for ourselves, and the love of serving others we will always win no matter what. So pursue your passion and rise to the top.

To your success,
