What are you passionate about?<\/p>\n
I had a really interesting conversation today with a woman who related to me that her young (18 yr old) daughter went away to a spiritually centered \u201ccamp\u201d where they looked deeply at existential issues. Her daughter called home one night crying. Through her tears the child was finally able to tell her mom the \u201cproblem\u201d. Her mentor had told the young woman\/child that she needed to figure out what her passion was and she was distraught because she did not know and felt she had to figure this out. She asked her mom, how she came to know what she was passionate about and when this happened.<\/p>\n
Her mother related to her that she never really tried to figure out her passion. Instead she came to know what passion was when she gave birth to her, this daughter, her first child. She said that was when she finally understood what it was to be passionate about something\u2026that you are truly passionate when you completely give yourself over to something or in this case someone, when you lose yourself and become part of something bigger. Wow! As I listened to her story I knew that my Higher Power was sending me this very clear message through this woman\u2019s story. Passion is when you completely give yourself over, when you lose yourself while giving to this entity that is related to you but bigger than you. Amazing how the Universe keeps on giving me these gifts of clarity!<\/p>\n
What are you passionate about, and if you don\u2019t know how do you figure it out?<\/p>\n
