Passion
When beginning a new year, a new cycle, passion is activated, engaged. We are energized and enthusiastic. Stepping beyond the passion that fuels our intimate relationships and looking deeply within for the passions that feed our souls, what do we find?
For some the answer is evident in active ongoing involvement with creative expression, athletic activity, causes, and, commitments to desires of the heart that bring deep satisfaction. For others the road is less clear.
I believe there are some key components to passionate expression of the soul. Essential to successfully living your passion are belief or faith, trust, commitment, desire, confidence, willingness including the willingness to be wrong, to lose, to stand up to ridicule, to step out of your comfort zone, to try new things, to accept criticism as well as accolades, to work with others or to work alone, to grow mentally, emotionally and spiritually.
As we enter 2012 and the labor pains birthing a new age become more powerful and more intense the necessity is greater than ever for each of us to find and to persue our passions.
