Passion is what fuels our intentional creation. It’s the power that drives us to work hard and create the life we desire. If we are passionate about something and devote ourselves to mastering the skill sets needed to share it with the world then we can align our work, our passion and talent towards achieving success and fulfilment. Finding balance, joy, and fulfilment does not always come easily as life is filled with highs and lows, ups and downs. mountains and valleys. We can go from extreme joy and happiness to total devastation and loss because its how life works sometimes – it is what it is -BUT- when we embrace life with faith, hope, love and gratitude we are on our way to overcoming our obstacles, trials and tribulations. When we use the fuel of our inner passions to drive our dedication and commitment and we work towards our goals, those things we dream of having, being and doing then we shift our mindset. We engage our inner strengths and power to push forward with discipline and dedication because we believe, we hope and we have faith that the legacy we are building step by step, choice by choice, decision by decision, struggle by struggle would be well worth it.
It takes some gut wrenching work to train ourselves in the art of living in the moment, accepting ourselves as we are, believing that our today is not our tomorrow or that we are bigger and stronger, wiser and greater than we think we are. When we do the work, feel the pain and deal with all the stuff that stands in our way we can unleash our true potential – live with passion and drive as we journey on bravely into our destiny. I say this because I am constantly doing it – its an education and enlightenment and sooooo… EMPOWERING to know that you can be true to the things you are passionate about even while choosing to do things that will meet your living necessities.
Never give up on what feeds your soul and puts a sparkle in your eyes. Do what you must to meet life expenses and needs but keep your dreams and passions alive and well by making choices that aligns you with them. Sometimes they may seem like small steps and miniscule opportunities but as the saying goes “you can only eat an elephant one bite at a time”. When we consistently choose the things that drives us, makes us smile or feel great, we are storing up the fuel needed to keep going, to keep choosing, doing and reaching – before you know it you’ll begin to feel fulfilled and happy.
Success is actually that place where you are in total balance, contented and happy – there are life issues and trials but you embrace them as what is and you bask in the opportunity to be a part of this beautiful journey of evolution. We are here as spiritual embodiments to have a physical experience where we are not immune to the imbalanced around us – the experience is not meant to be perfect, flawless or without stumbling blocks – yet our inner most self will know when we are in balance with the experience we are meant to be having. It is when we can feel joy amidst sorrow, comfort in pain, abundance in loss, gratitude amidst the storms of life and love where there is hate. Success is when all comes together and more often than not we feel whole, content and fulfilled.
