Make
a list:
Make a list of the 100 passions in your life right now! They can be anything that
comes to mind, from experiences you have had in your lifetime to moments you have
not yet experienced. They can be a place or a time of the year, qualities you
love in a person, or something you have seen or held in your hand. Name a food
that you are passionate about without using chocolate. What would you dream about
eating if you were starving on a deserted island? What or how do you want to feel?
Do you want to make connections with others or climb a mountain, run a marathon
or act on stage. What are your passions?
When I made my list, I was surprised what I had written down. You may think you
know your passions but can you write them down on a piece of paper? Write down
a sound you love to hear or a word you love to use. What do you want to hear in
your life? What if you were going deaf what would be the 20 things you would want
to hear? The sound of a great waterfall, the sound of thunder, or the ocean crashing
on the beach. Hey, you cannot use mine you have to think of your own. Now start
writing before I pick something on your list. What about the sound of a laughing
child or the sound of a loved ones heartbeat. If you have trouble sleeping, what
about placing your head onto a fresh pillow case to fall deeply asleep for 10
hours, hey, that could be a passion. Sunlight sparkling on the water, a deep conversation
with a friend, a deep conversation with a total stranger? What makes the energy
of your heart sing?
When you begin to write down the passion which are deeply connected to your inner
core, you are placing these thoughts into the forefront of your mind. When you
begin to make this list you will think of a hundred new passions, just keep adding
to the list everyday. It will seem hard at first but then it will become very
easy. These thoughts will float around your mind and your mind will find ways
to bring these passions back into your everyday life.
Now start
writing! You only have one life to live what are your passions?
