PASSION



Like the moon, passion waxes and wanes.  Sometimes you're highly motivated. Sometimes you aren't.  Passion has its peaks and valleys, so if you base your actions on your level of passion, your results will depend on your emotions.  One of the greatest gifts of our humanity is our capacity to experience and respond to our feelings. Whether it be tears of joy and sadness, anger, conviction, love or compassion - if it causes you to scrape your knees or fall into that raging river called life, passion is your birthright.  It is within you. It is yours to discover and master. Passion is a gift of the spirit combined with the totality of all the experiences we've lived through.  It endows each of us with the power to live and communicate with unbridled enthusiasm.  Passion is most evident when the mind, body and spirit work together to create, develop and make manifest our feelings, ideas and most sacred values.  Passion enables us to overcome obstacles (both real and imagined) and to see the world as a place of infinite potential.  The passionate spirit looks at every occurrence and discovers the possibilities of what can be, what should be and what will be.  Passion shapes our existence, fuels the fires of inspiration and makes the heart and mind open to changes all around us.  It is food for the soul, a spark that illuminates our purpose and mission for being here.


Passion is yours to experience and revel in and it starts from the inside out!
