Being Passionate about Your Gifts and Talents is Being at Your Best

What do you love to do?  Really love to do that you are talented at?  Can you think of time when you shared your passion with someone who wasn't receptive to it?  If yes, did it make you feel like you were on the wrong path to happiness?

We often misinterpret other peoples' reactions as being a sign that we could be heading down the wrong path, but in reality, other peoples' reactions are their projections of why something wouldn't work based on their own criteria of what is best.  Don't allow that to stop you from following your dreams!!  

There's a lid for every pot in the world, my husband just said that to me, too cute.  If we use the analogy for passions (lids) and people (pots) most of us will have different answers on our Life's Purpose Test (see corresponding blog).  Here's the takeaway: don't take other peoples' reactions personally!

After you know what you really love to do, don't quit your day job!!  I have a personal story about making big leaps without a safety net that I am glad to share.  Just know they call it a "safety" net for  reason;)

Nurture your passions:  join groups; make time; learn it; be it........be "one" with your passion.  I am one with my purpose, I am one with purpose, I am one with my purpose.  It becomes so much a part of you that you can't live without it, really!!  I cannot stop myself from writing, it's a good obsession!

I was a journalism major in college.  Then, I went into a career that was more of a research and analysis position that I knew certain people would be proud of on my behalf.  Do you do that, live for others?  I disliked the job but stayed in it for a long time.  If that sounds familiar, awareness is the first step to change.

Again, it is always about baby steps.  You can make changes in your life for the better.  Life begins to shift into pure enjoyment, as you find ways to do what you are passionate about.

Have a great day.
