Passion

I have always believed in the benefits of having a healthy, strong body.  I admit, as a young adult my healthiness was driven predominantly by fear.  I went to the gym, I ran, I tried to watch what I ate, I had my own strict rules, and if I followed them I’d be okay… or so I always believed.  

Over the years, I have learned about passions. And about how different it supposedly feels to participate in anything from a place of “passion.” Until then, it was theoretical. Something I had yet to experience.

And then I found my golf aged 15. 

Golf kept me fully engaged, completely in that moment.  I was in awe of my surroundings and I would totally lose track of time. 

That’s what passion feels like.

No rules, no effort. Just pleasure.

When I “found” my passion. I wasn’t looking, it found me. When I was ready. When I allowed it.

The wiser side of me realized that this formula applied to everyone. 

When, you are passionate about anything, it’s easy. And fun. It’s something you anticipate. Feel eagerness for.

When you’re engaged in your passion, time, literally, has no meaning. Hours fly by, without you realizing they have.

I wonder how people find their passion...

I believe it’s easier than I think it is. 

When we’re searching for something that we feel is missing, our vibration is often one of lack.  From lack, we approach opportunities with agendas, attachments, and expectations, and we’re so busy evaluating every experience that we forget to really engage it.  We get too caught up in our thinking.

Passions really are worth finding. And indulging.

They add value and depth to our lives.

We all have them.

And we can recognize them if we simply allow ourselves to.
