Living Your
Passion
Passion is a very strong
feeling about a person or thing. Passion is an intense emotion,
a compelling enthusiasm or desire for something. Denis Diderot describes
passions as "penchants, inclinations, desires and aversions carried to a
certain degree of intensity, combined with an indistinct sensation of pleasure
or pain, occasioned or accompanied by some irregular movement of the blood and
animal spirits, are what we call passions. They can be so strong as to inhibit
all practice of personal freedom, a state in which the soul is in some sense
rendered passive, whence the name passions.
The more passionate
you are about yourself, your work, your life, or whatever it is you are doing, the
more positive energy you give off. True happiness comes when you do what you
are most passionate about.
Passion shapes our
existence, fuels the fires of inspiration and opens us up to opportunities and
changes around us. Passion is enthusiasm and excitement for life.
Passion comes when
you are being your authentic self and doing what comes naturally to you. When what you do is in alignment
with who you are, you get energy from doing it
Doing what you love
and doing what is in alignment with your purpose, will be the thing that will
motivate you to jump out of bed in the morning and look forward to the day
ahead. Your work is not “work” because it exciting, rewarding and interesting
to you. It’s not a “job” but a passion. You will find that your work doesn’t
seem difficult to you and you put in more hours than the average person because
your work hours fly by so quickly. You will often lose track time and be so
engulfed in your work. When you are doing what you love, your passion for it is
obvious to others and that makes the difference between a rewarding career and
a job. If you are unhappy and unfulfilled in your current relationship or job,
staying in it will not only continue to make you unhappy, but you are also not
allowing yourself the opportunity to realize your full potential.
Passion enables us to
overcome obstacles. Whether those obstacles are actual or imagined, with
passion you will overcome them and see the world as a place of infinite
potential. The power of passion also enables us to have self-confidence, trust
ourselves and to take the risks required to live every day to its fullest.
Living with passion
is about having the courage to express your thoughts, opinions, convictions and
your love for life. That love for life comes because you live a life by design,
not by default. Following your passion enables you to do so. That is the power
of passion!
