What is your passion in life? What really calls to your strengths and makes you truly happy? If this is something you haven't thought about in a long time, it may explain why you often feel something is missing in your life. With a few tips from Life Coach, Lesley Moore, perhaps you can find out what makes your heart beat!
When you think of February, what is the first thing that comes to mind? For me, I clearly see red and pink hearts and smile at the mere thought of it. I am reminded of my first boyfriend, my first box of chocolates and the first time I felt in love; all of which still make my heart race today. But when was the last time something got you so excited that your heart actually raced? Can you recall the incident or the day? Or do you find it hard to recall because it was so long ago?
Well, if you're having trouble remembering when the last time was, it may explain why some mornings you awake to find yourself asking, "Is this all there is?" Although children can usually recall this excitement quite easily, as adults, going about our daily lives often leaves us questioning the mere feeling of passion.
Passion is an emotion that evokes a great commitment to something or someone, creating a kind of excitement that can hardly be contained. And while you may still be having trouble digging deep enough to find it, I assure you that everyone can find at least one thing that really excites them.
Imagine this scenario: It is Monday morning and you are nine years old. You slowly get out of bed, all set to begin yet another day, when you notice something bright coming from the window. As you reach for the blinds, your eyes grow as wide as saucers, your stomach begins to do a cartwheel and the urge to yell cannot be stopped….
You run down the hall screaming, “It’s snowing! It’s snowing!!!!”
Although now it may bring other mixed emotions, back then there was no denying the passion of that child and the yearning to have the day to play.
Children find it quite easy to find things that they are passionate about and often have days that are filled with strong emotions that cannot be contained. It is truly what makes them jump out of bed at ungodly hours of the morning to start their day. But why does it seem so difficult to find that passion as an adult?
Usually it's as simple as the fact that you have spent so much time focusing on those around you (family and co-workers), that you have hardly had a minute to think about what really makes your heart race. But February is the perfect time to do it! It is the official month of the hearts…so why not find out what makes yours pump! It is not as easy as it sounds, but with a little patience, you’ll find yourself feeling just like a kid again.
Try these simple steps:
1- Find a quiet place to sit with a pad of paper. Write about one time you can remember feeling passionate about something. It doesn’t matter how large or small it was, as long as you recall it making your heart race. 2- Think of three things that you might not be able to imagine doing, but certainly get you excited as you think about them. 3- Write about three things that always make you smile. 4- Now take all of these things and create a way to incorporate one of the things into your life. Is there a special place you’d like to go? An adventure you always wanted to try? Someone you have wanted to visit?
Be creative! Don’t be afraid to step out of the comfort zone you have created for yourself. You will be amazed to see that with passion in your life, your day is much more exciting. Much more like when you were a kid!
Life is a game to be played --- So get off the bench and start playing!
