\u201cAll the greatest people on the planet past and present \u2013 all loved what they did.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\nJanet Bray Attwood and Chris Attwood authors of \u00a0The Passion Test<\/p>\n
I interpret that statement as not only referring to the \u2018world\u2019s greats\u2019 but all<\/i> the greatest people. People who are living their passions love life. They are filled with aliveness and purpose…. leaving people and circumstances changed as a result of their touch. \u00a0They captivate and make us rise. They transform our lives.<\/p>\n
My daughter had 3 teachers who were passionate……students loved them, in their classes everyone excelled. \u00a0I have a fitness trainer who makes me want to continually push to new levels. She inspires me every day. She says it\u2019s her passion. There\u2018s a woman in my community who visited Uganda\u00a0 4 years ago and was so impassioned to help improve life there she came home and started baking banana bread to raise money to build schools. Her efforts have built two so far. \u00a0The greatest people come from all walks of life and are engaged in all kinds of endeavors. They share one thing– \u00a0they are living their passion and they’re \u00a0giving it away.<\/p>\n
A true passion is not only self serving but also our gift to the world. When considering passions go one step further and ask, how does my gift serve? Does it have a positive impact on others? If you are satisfied with your responses \u2026you have found a true passion. Give it freely.<\/p>\n
reACTION [to change in the response to stimulus]: bringing \u00a0passion to life<\/b><\/h2>\n
Bring passion to life by making it a verb<\/b><\/p>\n
Here\u2019s an example……one of my passions is people. I have great compassion for the human spirit. I love the differences that make us all unique. I love hearing people\u2019s stories. \u00a0I love how we are all limitless and capable beyond our imagination.<\/p>\n
I could make my passion a statement- I am passionate about people.<\/p>\n
I could make my passion a goal \u2013 I want to help people.<\/p>\n
Or I can state it this way – My passion is inspiring people to open to the possibilities.<\/p>\n
The verb turns it into a living, breathing process<\/i> that I can bring to life.<\/p>\n
Pass it on<\/b> – When we focus on leading a passionate, meaningful life, we are also inadvertently creating a spectacular ripple effect of inspiration in the lives around us.\u00a0 When one person follows a dream, tries something new, or takes a daring leap, everyone nearby feels their passionate energy; and before too long, they are making their own daring leaps while simultaneously inspiring others.<\/p>\n
