Follow Your Passion!

"Passion is energy. Feel the power that comes from focusing on what excites you." - Oprah Winfrey

Passion is the energy that propels you forward. It gives meaning to your life. It fills you with excitement, happiness and anticipation. It nurtures the flame of your imagination. It keeps you going in times of doubt and insecurity. Passion maintains your focus and stops you from giving up. There might be a mountain in front of you, but you're ready to climb it, and you can see yourself at the top. 

Passion means doing the things you love, the things you were born to do. You may be good at certain things, but the difference is to do what you really love. You can lose yourself in this activity to the extent that you lose track of time. It is totally engrossing for you, and it never seems like a chore. Whether you're writing, painting, learning to play a musical instrument, designing a new dish, a new lounge room or a new choreography, it doesn't matter, as long as it unlocks the positive passion energy within you. 

Today, ask yourself what you love doing. Make sure you allocate some time in your busy day to do it. Start with 15 minutes and see what happens. Whatever it is, you don't have to do it all day, every day. Dedicating just one hour a day to an inspiring, creative activity is enough to enhance your wellbeing and lower your stress levels. As long as you're passionate about it, it will refresh, energise and invigorate your life. 

Passion is the driving force behind success and happiness. It gives you a sense of personal power and accomplishment, as you're achieving a goal with something that gives you pleasure and satisfaction.
