Why are so many of us unwilling to show our true passion for life and what we wish to accomplish?
Fear of failure and caring what others may think, judge or say if that happens. Or even judging ourselves far too harshly.
If we dare to raise ourselves up to be observed, being happily passionate and enthusiastic, we are inevitably going to attract a fair amount of attention. Then come along those self-limited individuals who adore to ridicule and seize the opportunity to rain on parades, those dream-stealers we all occasionally encounter.
If we are going to be judged anyway it may as well be for being a passionate and enthusiastic participator in life! Yes, for sure the path to our goals may well take a few twists and turns, so what? At least if we are actively walking that path step by step, we are going to arrive there some day. All the new experiences unfolding before us ensuring life will for sure always be interesting along the way…
Let us choose to use any dream-stealer’s negative feedback as a sure sign we must be actually doing something right, if you think about it, they would hardly be giving us their attention if we weren’t! This is brilliantly motivating. I have always found this kind of negative attention a sure sign I am certainly doing something right in life and it helps keep me centred on achieving more of the same.
It is okay to feel enthusiastic. It is okay to shout from the rooftops expressing passion for what you are doing!
Furthermore, passion means that when things occasionally fail to work out quite as we anticipated (which, let’s face it, happens) we will surely keep on moving forward anyway to find another way. Look for that another way and there is always going to be one. Every single time.
Whatever your starting point in life, the desire to improve your reality only takes passion, love, and the drive to make it happen. The Universe does not care if we came from a family of twelve children with parents who struggled to put food on the table or were born into the most privileged of circumstances – background is completely unimportant when daily living goals. Having the clearest vision of where we are going, plus one healthy dose of passion added, is going to ensure we arrive. Energy is energy and works in the same way for all. Be passionate and you will gain much wisdom to easily live on your terms and, even more importantly, have amazing adventures along the way as well! And remember to feel the love…
