“There is no passion to be found playing small—in settling for a life that is less than the one you are capable of living.”
– Nelson Mandela
How do the words above resonate with you?
Pause here for a moment and free yourself from distractions:
Take a deep breath in... exhale slowly... deep breath in... exhale slowly... deep breath in... exhale slowly... calm your mind and be present...
What is your passion? Spend some time here...be clear about your answer...
How are you engaging your passion each day? Are you playing too small... Is your passion on the back burner..?
What would your life look like if each minute of the day was devoted to the thing you are most passionate about? Visualize it... What would change..?
Gay Hendricks offers these things to consider when defining, redefining, or looking to discover one's passion:
Does time pass quickly when you’re engaged in this activity..?
Does the world and you worries disappear when you’re doing it..?
Afterward, do you feel exhilarated, full of emotional energy even if the activity has drained you physically..?
You can’t imagine not having this activity in your life..!
Are some of your fondest memories focus on engaging in this activity..?
Is a bad day engaged in this activity is better than a good day of most other things..?
Today's Challenge: Define your passion!
You are worth it
Make the time
“Passion is energy. Feel the power that comes from focusing on what excites you.”
– Oprah Winfrey
How are you expressing your passion today? Ready to release your power... energy... focus..?
Don’t miss your opportunity. Be intentional. Encourage others to do the same and watch what happens.
You got this!
