Passion

"Only passions, great passions, can elevate the soul to great things."

~ Denis Diderot (1743 - 1784)

What are you passionate about? Don’t make this some big thing that impresses other people. Sit quietly, say “hello, I love me” to yourself, feel your heart’s truth and ask yourself gives you great joy? What gets you out of bed with a smile on your face? What can’t you wait to do? Anything you do from your heart is a great thing. It may be (dare I say) watching football. It may be scrap booking. It may be story telling. It actually may be your career. What does put you in high spirits? What gives you satisfaction at the end of the day?

In this year of manifesting, you are being asked by Spirit to do what is in your heart. There is no judgment. Nothing is better or worse than anything else. It is purely about being in touch with what gives you joy and living in that place. The idea is that you embrace your passions and allow them to move you more and more each day until “living in passion” is the constant of your life. As you honor your heart’s desires by acting upon them, magic happens. You begin to draw to you like hearted people. You begin to smile more, be more confident, be healthier and, in general, be more fun. You begin to be the person that you have always wanted to be; the true you.

Note: I am not saying that you won’t have low moments or even challenging days. Living in passion allows you to keep things in perspective. It allows you to bounce back and not take things personally.

Passion is a beautiful thing. It is the driving force behind all great creations and accomplishments. It is the driving force behind all great people. Be great. Live your passion.
