Are you living a life filled with passion?

I have spent the last few weeks talking with a counter part of mine on the topic of passion; you know that small thing we all need to feel alive and confident. We have discussed how essential it is to be successful in life. I mean success as it is to each of us not success as others see us.
We talked about how we have found our passion and how we may support others in finding their passion and how to define it on an individual basis. If discovering what motivates us is also the road to discovering our passion then how do we begin? Where do we begin putting the wheels in motion and how do we assist in the process of discovery? Passion could be the one thing that is in our soul not yet discovered inside us.
I think the only way to begin is to search deep inside ourselves and pull out those bits and pieces we are sometimes afraid to share, those hidden desires we sometimes stuff away into compartments inside ourselves. We all want to be perceived as practical or mature and so we tamp down our inner passions and wait for those small windows in time where we can seek them out or share them with others or often never really let them out at all. Passion is really our inner most wanton motivating goals. Passion makes your belly jump, passion tugs at your heart strings. Passion is what you felt the first time you were in love, that gut wrenching feeling of joy beyond your wildest dreams. Passion is the root of each of us but is very seldom given the sun, soil and water to grow.
Defining your passion could be a long journey of discovery.

What makes you feel good? What do you find inspires you? What takes your breath away? It really is not the breaths we take but the moments that take our breath away. This is where we find our inner passions.

Are you living a life filled with passion?

Let’s start with what I believe are the keys to begin.

• Enthuse: Find what you are enthusiastic about and set it in motion, take action.

• Empower: You are the key to your own empowerment and if not find someone who can help you find your confidence.

• Encourage: Once you have found your passion, then pass it along and encourage others to seek their passions.

These are just the beginning steps to discovering your passion. So if you want to dance then dance, if you want to sing then sing and if you want to surf then surf. Just do it with all of your heart and appreciate how confident it makes you feel in the rest of your life.

Live it!!!!
