People say nothing happens without a reason. I guess that's true. Morning dew falls on the grass to keep it refreshed for a new day. Taxi Cabs horns toot and people teeter out for their day in the city. The sun has risen onto the concrete jungle another day. Fresh baked bread and coffee aroma fill the cool air. Here I sit 26 floors above the city, watching rats run though a maze. Rats I say, people to some. Most in search of an ordinary life. The expected nine to five, productive children, the savings account, and vacation photos to share with the neighbors .Comparative, Competitive and unremarkable, they are designing a life. What has made them so willing to exchange risk, complacency or potential for mediocrity?
Passion is defined as... A powerful emotion, such as love, joy, hatred, or anger. Warning, you can't seek passion, passion seeks you. It is the voice inside that says there must be more to life than this. Without it, you struggle to breathe, gasping for life. I often wonder how we get so out of touch with our passion — how we divorce ourselves from our hearts.
Warning. Time is the thief to passion, don't let it steal yours. Your life's passion may be discovered in an instant, or take many long years to uncover. You will know you have it when your heart of hearts tells you, "I don't care what other people think. I know this is what I want to do, and I am going to get started making it happen! Have you found a passion yet?
Make a date with Passion for Life in 2013
1. Break the Rules! Eat something new for breakfast. Take a different route to work. Say hello to someone you never speak to. Spend your lunch time differently. Call someone you have not spoken to in a long time. Do something new and change your night time routine. It starts one day at a time.
2. Color your passion. Buy a coloring book and crayons. Yes, this is not rocket science, it allows you to once again explore the world though the eyes of a child. A few pictures, you will feel the stress fall off. Have a color party! Trust me on this one.
3. Time is a gift. Everyone has the same 24. Use one hour to help someone else." What can I do in one hour, I barely have time to get something done for me" Yes, I hear you. A few Ideas write a letter to a hero send a card; cook something for your neighbor. W
4. Stop moving and be still. When is the last time you noticed a cloud, admired a flower, and looked at nature? Mysteries are all around you... but your to busy to see them. Before you go to bed, take a look at the stars and reflect about life, the challenges you have overcome and achievements you have made.
5. Live and Learn. Start a journal, Take a free class, go to the library, and watch educational TV. Knowledge is power. Expand you mind and you expand your passion. We are the product of what we take in, no more or less. If you don't have knowledge of something, how can you envision it? Fast forward... When it's all over and you're doing a life review... What will you see in your rear view mirror of life?
