For the past few weeks I have been obsessed with the word Passion(s)! I mean obsessed! I've been talking to my weight loss group about it, the word came up this past weekend at a fitness conference and I see it everywhere I go...it's been present all over my life and for good reason!
My passions are the center of my life, my guiding lights and my sources of energy. Outside of the obvious loves,my kids and wife, I have been blessed enough to be able to chase my passions on a daily basis-and that is my wish for everyone else as well. Our heart's guide us through life, our soul whispers to us daily. And why? Because our passions open up doors for us we could never even comprehend. Our passions are what lead us to and through the life we are meant to live. If you are not following your passions, you are not truly and truthfully living the life that is intended for you! Passion has been defined as " an intense emotion," "a strong feeling about a person or thing" and my personal favorite "any powerful or compelling emotion or feeling." What does this all mean?! That our passions are within us to guide us through life. Our passions are our purpose, our destiny and our true meaning of life. Without passions we would all be the same person and our world would cease to exist. So how do we tap into our passions? It's so simple yet so hard for us to do-WE LISTEN. We listen to ourselves! We all get those instinctual feelings that we should be doing something. Or maybe get a desire you've never had before to do something new! Follow that! That's when you discover your passions and that's when your destiny starts to unfold. Recently someone asked me what my passions are and while I knew immediately that my passions are with people I knew the answer was much deeper than that. Soon the real answer came to me. My passion is empowering, inspiring, educating and motivating people. Some days I do that through teaching fitness classes, some days I do it by coaching volleyball to young girls, other days it's by writing. Some days I don't follow my passions at all, because I'm human and I simply don't have the energy or know how to do it. (wow! I wrote that for everyone to see!) Did I discover these passions when I was 20? Heck no! When I was 20 I was on a drastically different path (that thank God I didn't follow it), but I knew deep down something amazing lied ahead for me even though I didn't know what it was. I knew that if I listened to the spirit that guides me, that guides us all, I had something amazing ahead. Our passions will change, but your purpose is always within you. Our purposes in life are not always present, we may not even truly know our purpose ever and that's okay, but we owe it to ourselves and to the universe to follow our passions. If I/we had never followed the tug to start Evolve U, we would have never found this amazing path we are on. We wouldn't be married, be surrounded my beautiful people or experience the things we get to on a daily basis. If you do nothing else this week, do this for me.....follow that instinct in your heart that is urging you down a path and then keep following it every day of your life! That instinct is your destiny!
