We hear about people being passionate about their work or a cause that is important to them, but what does that really mean? If you have a passion for something how is your life different from the life of someone who does not feel passionate about anything?
Living a passionate life means that you are connected with the person you were meant to be. If you are passionate about something you can do it for hours and the time will just fly by. It is the way you feel when you at completely at peace with yourself. Think about how a small child
can laugh and sing and spin around without a care in the world. That is an example of having passion for living and being present in the moment.
We are all striving to achieve that feeling that all is well with us and the world around us. We need to take a leap of faith that everything will turn out exactly as it should and that we will be filled with joy, love, and abundance. Listen to your emotions - if it feels good and makes you happy then it will lead you toward your passion. If it makes you think unkind thoughts about others or makes you unhappy then it will just waste more of your precious time until you turn in the direction of the good, joyous feelings. We have become accustomed to the idea that we have to suffer for awhile before we can have what we want in our lives. It is just the opposite - if you are suffering you are headed in the wrong direction. Just believe and do what feels right to you.
I love your take on passion. Finding my passion in life of helping people with their personal growth has made all the difference in my life. The Passion Test book was the key, and now I am a certified Passion Test facilitator, guiding other people through the fun and exciting process.
