Lose Yourself to Find Yourself

You do not have to have a life-threatening disease or a bad situation to ignite your passion to live.

Some of us are called to it, by numbness, fatigue, or just plain boredom.

Some of us have the sense that we are not using our fullest potential and the feeling frustrates us.

Even at our happiest moments, we may feel that there is something missing.

To explore what it would mean to live a full life and passionately on purpose, you would have to drop the preconceived notion of who and what you are.

Sometimes we define ourselves, by stories we tell ourselves, or explanations we identity with, that we lose our real self.

How much do you want to be free from the struggle and frustration, free from the doubt?

Ask yourself…

What is it too soon for?

What is it too late for?

What is jut the right time for?

Lead From Within: May you allow yourself the stillness so you can open your mind and heart to your deepest truth.

What is your deepest truth?
What are you searching for?
Who are you in your dreams?

Nature’s Way

If everything we attempted in life were achieved with minimum of effort and came out exactly as planned, how little we would learn-and how boring life would be! And how arrogant we would become if we succeeded at everything we attempted.

Failure allows us to develop the essential quality of humility.

It is not easy- when you are the person experiencing failure- to accept it philosophically, serene in the knowledge  that this is one of life’s great learning experiences. But it is.

Nature’s way are not always easily understood, but they are repetitive and therefore predictable.

You can be absolutely certain that when you feel you are being most unfairly tested, you are being prepared for great achievement.

Lead From Within: Failure seems to be nature’s way for preparing you for great responsibilities.

Lead with Purpose

Messages From Within

Believe In Your Gift

Make a stand today. On this spot. On this day. Make your actions count. Do not falter in your determination to fulfill your destiny. Do not follow the destiny outlined in some mystical book.

Create your own and be the best you can be.

No one knows the road you have traveled but you. Where you stand, no one else has ever stood before. There is no reason to hide away or hold back. Where you will step is always new, even if you tread on the footprints of others. Remember, you are always defining your way.

Use your gifts with joy. Use your talents for making a difference, Use your beauty- your loving, delightful self to help others.  Create the poetry of your life with toughness and determination and let the light shine for all the world to see.

You have a purpose. Believe in your gift. It is your time to SHINE.

Doing What You Love

Too many of us have been brought up to believe that work is not meant to be enjoyed, let alone loved. Work is meant to give us a paycheck, not excite, energize or fulfill us.

But the opposite it true, Not only can we earn a living doing what we love; we owe it to ourselves to pursue that end. When we find ourselves in jobs/careers we dislike, that frustrates, saddens, or fatigues us, our mind, body and soul is telling us that we are not in the right place.

When we are doing what we love, by contrast we feel radiate, joy and passion, improving not only our own lives but also our environment. “”

Find out what you love: Do you believe that you can make a living doing what you love? If you could believe this, make a list of jobs/careers you have enjoyed and the ones you have not. Try to find the distinguishing feature within each category. When you have discovered what jobs made you happy and why, fashion the perfect job/career for yourself, using all the positive elements you have listed. Now visualize yourself in this job/career, believe that you will have it, and ask for help from mentors and others. Know that your loving can be your living.

When you do what you love, You create the kind of environment in which abundance flourishes.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts with me. Many of you have not been mentioned in this blog – you know who you are and I am grateful and appreciative of ALL you.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: What is PASSION?

Here are some answers:WOW!!! Great, inspiring, brilliant thoughts. Thank you.

My mind still unsettled I continued to ponder to myself ………….

SO WHAT IS PASSION?

Passion ignites fire, zest, or fervor to your soul.

It is the force that relentlessly drives one forward against all odds and obstacles, enabling you to conquer your circumstances.

We all want to think our life has purpose. We all want to be passionate about what we are doing, and to feel we are making some valuable contribution.

Passion ignites a person to live a more full life.

The passionate have big dreams. Those with passion are focused on their goals, not themselves. They are wrapped up in their dreams, not their worries. They don’t have the time or inclination for self-pity. When things go wrong, they learn from their mistakes and quickly continue on their way.

Passion is magical.

A person with passion is expressive, intensely feels, fervently articulates, and adventurously journeys into the unknown to create his world.

Passion can bring the nonexistent into existence

Consider for a moment, what are the alternatives to a life of passion? Would you rather lead an empty life or one filled with passion and purpose? Whenever it is a matter of ability or passion, passion is always the victor in the battle for success.

Passion is a burning desire that creates commitment to a person, work, or life.

Can there be any greater gift than to give yourself and others the gift of a passionate life?

Step forward boldly.

Take a risk. Live a life with passion. Live the life of your dreams.

I dare you to Live a Life of Passion.
