Designing a passionate life is created in all sorts of ways and is done by many kinds of people. The passionate life you design will not resemble someone else's passionate life. This is as it should be, if everyone wanted the same things in the world, we would have a problem. I have worked with people who are passionate about their Spirituality and want to bring it fully into their lives. Others are passionate about starting a business, and yet others want to find their purpose and shine their light in the world and make a difference. I'm inspired to write about one of my clients, and I will call her Irena. She was at a point in her life where she no longer found her career fulfilling and felt like she had no direction or purpose in life. She was searching for more, but unsure of what that "more" was about. She wanted to find out what was important to her and determine a path and then take action. This was not a short process but a gradual journey of self-awareness and soul searching. We worked together over time and during that time, she started to gain clarity about what was important to her. Sometimes the clarity came from knowing what she didn't want. If you are unsure as to what you want to create in your life start with what you don't want in your life. Simply list the things you don't want and then write down the opposite of them. These things will be clues for you as to what you do want in your life. It is very easy to get caught up in the 'confusion' state. I have known people who say that they want to make a change but don't know what that change should be because they are confused. Sometimes they are afraid of making a mistake and often they stay in the same place year after year. Not making a choice is deciding to do nothing. Don't use confusion as an excuse to not take action. Make a choice and give it a try. If it doesn't work, try again. Over time, Irena got clear that she wanted to go into the Peace Corps. She is in the second half of her life so this was a major lifestyle change for her. She did her research, filled out the necessary papers, interviewed and got accepted. She is one year into her Peace Corps journey which took her to Tanzania. She is teaching computer skills to the children in a very small village. She has to walk an hour to get to a computer with Internet access. I receive a few emails from her and every time I do, I am so touched by her courage to make such a major change of direction in her life. She has gained insight and wisdom as a result of this part of her life's journey. I am so inspired and blessed to know her. Her courage inspires me and helps me to see my life in a different light. Not only is she touching the lives of people in Tanzania but also all of her friends and family who
Slide 2: are witnessing her incredible journey.
I wonder what would happen if you were able to identify your passions and start living in alignment with them?
