Finding Your Passion

I speak to so many people every day and the conversations are usually trivial. You know, "How ya doing?" and mostly small talk. Occasionally, I find myself in a real good conversation about the economy or politics, but the majority of the time it is not that stimulating.Could it be that we live such mediocre lives that there is nothing to say? Is it that we are so beaten down by the events in our country that we are stumped when it comes to issues that are important to us?

I hope it is none of these things, but it certainly makes you wonder why that is. I have my own theory and it comes in the form of passion. I think there is a lack of passion in this country for whatever we do and it shows in everything we do. I don't mean that you have to be passionate about doing a job that you hate to do. I mean passion for what your "why" is. I know that sounds so simplistic, but it is. What is your why? Why do you get up and do the things you do? Do you have an end result in mind? So many questions and too few answers.

I believe we are lacking passion in this country and I'm referring to the passion within. I can certainly relate to this lack of passion as I was there myself. I had no direction or even a thought of a direction and it was then that I realized why I had no passion. It was because like so many people I did not know what my "why" was. I know that might sound stupid or corny, but through my self development I found that your "why" is incredibly important.

In discovering my "why" I came across my passion. My passion is educating people about an alternative to our current food supply. My passion is helping people get control of their lives by getting control of their eating habits. Because my passion is so strong and focused, I really don't care what people think of me and I don't get upset if someone can't see what I see. Not everyone is going to have the desire to change the way they eat, but then again that is their choice.

It is my hope that everyone finds their passion no matter what it is. Most people go through life by just going through the motions and have nothing to look forward to. That would be a very difficult way to live and maintain any semblance of sanity. Don't be too hard on yourself if you haven't found your "why" yet because that could take some time. Don't press it and don't get discouraged if nothing hits you right away because something will. A good exercise would be to write down all the things you don't want in your life. By doing that you can then focus on what you do want.

Finding your passion is an amazing thing because your belief level is off the charts. When you are passionate about something nothing can get in your way. Once you begin your journey in your passion then opportunities  open up to you in an endless stream. Your potential is unlimited! You can feel your "why" getting closer and it is a self proclaiming prophecy that was brought on by your belief. Everything works in harmony when you have passion for something. Please, find your "why" and your passion will bring you to that place you have cemented in your mind.
