Our passion nurtures us. It gives us the answers to life’s questions. Our passions light the fire within us. Our passion gives us joy. If we set aside time every week to pursue our passions, it will enable us to get through the things we have to do. Our duties may drain us, but our passion, gives us opportunity to renew our selves.

By tapping into our life’s passions we are re-fueled and re-energized to tackle our work, relationships and the challenges of life. Yet in times of feeling tapped out and having little energy for anything, it's too easy to make excuses about never having enough time to do the things we desire.

It is a fact; if you spend time on what you are passionate about, it saves you time in the long run. It will give you the energy and inspiration to get the most out of life. If you have passion, it can really help you through the rough times: times of loss, fear, stress, financial difficulty or facing a major life challenge. If you have developed a passion for something you have a place on the inside of you to draw from, a place where you can retreat and be healed. 

Ask yourself: what excites me, what motivates me, what do I love doing? Then be Logical, be Radical and be Innovative all at the same time. Think about what has meaning and what is out of the ordinary. Sounds like an oxymoron? 

First get a plan, put some thought, prayer and meditation into it. You might want to implement some research. Then take the limits off of it. Think out of the box! Use your creativity. I believe there are some world changers and history makers out there! But, right now you feel more like a wounded warrior. Maybe you can not see the truth of who you are, what you can be and you don’t feel passionate about anything. 

Some times we just have to slap ourselves, “Gently Of Course”, makeup our mind and tell ourselves; you are coming out of this depression, out of all this negativity and out of this place! You can have a turn around today! There is a Master Designer who has the blueprints to your future. You might not know where to begin but it can be as simple as a thought, an interest, an awareness, or desire that eventually becomes fueled into a passion. 

If you’re looking for inspiration to kick start a passion, I recommend starting with a “too good to forget box”. It’s a special place where you tuck away secret desires: a place for special dreams, your vision for the future, great ideas, newspaper articles, magazine clippings etc... 

Everything that was ever created was in the unseen realm before it became visible. There’s a place of “Conception“. There is a Time Of "Nurturing" and A Day Of Birth! It begins with what you love. The destiny placed on the inside of you, your choices and the leading of your spirit! Trust your Spirit, it has information your mind can’t comprehend! 

One of our biggest set backs on the journey to our future is self prejudice, because we struggle in our humanity in believing that God is really for us. That he believes in us and we question what he feels and thinks about us. Our own self judgment is harder to overcome than the judgment of others. When all the while God is cheering us on and offering us a better life than we can see for ourselves.

In finding your passion don't judge weather it falls in line with where you are or where you have been, what you have known or if it’s something you could even be good at. We’re talking fun and purpose here, soul and heart! We’re talking about drawing from your gifts. We’re talking about Spirit not necessarily physical abilities. Who knows, you might discover that you are really great at it! 

Following your Passion and Purpose will give you incredible excitement and energy. It will cause you to stay up all night burning the midnight oil. Perhaps like me, after a long flight, you get straight off the plane and hit the ground running! Simply because you love what you do so much. This is the kind of passion that is infectious, and encourages others to follow your lead! 

There is something that I call the inner hunger for life. It’s the juice, the spirit and the core of living. The power that keeps our battery charged. If we use it all up without replenishing it, we become dryed up and we lack luster. We do things without animation; in other words, we become lifeless and there is no inner joy! That is the beginning of the end. The downward spiral and it should ring alarm bells and for somebody it should sound like a siren on an ambulance… 

Over the years I have met people at the bottom of that spiral; they are scared realizing they have used everything up and are plunging toward disaster, heading for a breakdown… They are searching for someone to throw them a Life Line and something to be passionate about; to relight the fire, but have found themselves in a place where they have nothing left; much like trying to start a fire by rubbing two sticks together, in slow motion, with no confidence that you’ll even get a spark. It doesn’t work! 

Find your passion now! Incorporate it into your life and make time to celebrate and nurture it. The joy of building your passion will fuel the fire of life and keep it blazing! The biggest Miracle will be what happens inside of you!

One decision can change your life. Commit to your tomorrow. Expect A Miracle. Believe in it and take all the conditions off of it! 

You can be absolutely anything you want to be. You can rise to the top and be the Star in your own dreams!

LIVE X-TREME!
