Part 1 of 5<\/p>\n

The first on stop on the itinerary for Life Part 2 is Passion.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a warm place, it burns from the heart\u2026so pack light.<\/p>\n

P.A.S.S.I.O.N.S<\/p>\n

Do you know what yours are? If you said no, you\u2019re not alone. A recent survey showed that 75% of us don\u2019t. Clearly we have some uncovering to do.<\/p>\n

Passions are what we love. \u00a0They fuel our hearts and spirits.<\/p>\n

When engaged in them we soar to new heights of joy, happiness and fulfillment.<\/p>\n

There we are of the greatest service to the world and others.<\/p>\n

Being able to identify our passions inspires, excites and reminds us what is truly important to us in our lives.<\/p>\n

\u201cPassion is a very personal experience,\u201d<\/em> writes Janet Bray Attwood and Chris Attwood authors of The Passion Test. \u201cWhen you do what you love, what you are truly passionate about, your life will be irresistibly pulled in directions you can\u2019t even begin to imagine.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0Oh boy<\/em>\u2026.I LOVE<\/em> surprises so knowing there are opportunities available to me beyond anything I can imagine is all I need to get busy identifying my\u00a0passions!<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve done some digging and found several approaches to uncovering passion. It\u2019s more than one blog post so I\u2019ll offer it up all next week. I hope we will all leave this first destination knowing our core passions. Next trip we can start learning how to live them.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re like me insight dawns when you\u2019re least expecting it.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u201cGood one…I\u2019ll remember that,\u201d<\/em> I say to self. Right. Thinking I\u2019m actually going to remember a momentary stroke of brilliance is crazy\/futile\/ridiculous\/not-going-to-happen. Note to self: have notebook\/pen close by to capture ideas\/images as they come to mind.<\/p>\n

\u00a0reACTION [to change in the response to stimulus]: Ask Oprah<\/b><\/h2>\n

First I went to Oprah \u2013 she always asks the big questions and of course uncovering passion had been on her list.\u00a0 Check out this to begin.<\/a><\/p>\n

It’s a great exercise to get things started.<\/p>\n
