What is Passion?
A
Meaningful, Life Changing Question.
When asking "what
is passion," stop for a minute and think about anytime where you've
felt unconditional love for someone
or something? Ask yourself, when
was the last time I was in love with life, in love with myself or in
love with someone else?
Passion is like
being embraced by the warmth of the divine. It touches the depths of
our souls and speaks to our spirit. Passion can be so profound that
explaining the feeling is like trying to speak a foreign language.
Although once felt, the need for explanation fades and the experience
takes precedence.
Spiritually
speaking, we are soulful beings desperately seeking any experience that
will bring us back to our nature of living freely, emotionally and
passionately.
We yearn for
moments of aliveness, fantasy and
imagination. Yet, many of us have lost the connection to our passionate
sides. Instead, the monotony of day to day living becomes forefront
while our lustful, creative spirits await patiently for the opportunity
of expression.
Passion is often
felt
during moments of pleasure, pain, excitement, joy, wonder and curiosity.
Additionally, when
we hear
someone else speak with passion, a part of ourselves lighten up with
curiosity for this beautiful feeling.
Some of the most
passionate moments come from loving yourself just as you are. For the
love and acceptance of yourself allows you to accept everyone and
everything else unconditionally. This is what truly makes a person feel
alive and connected with a higher source.
However, if you are
like many other people, your search for passion is why you are reading
this article. You have lost a connection with spirit and are searching
for a part of yourself that you may have lost awhile ago.
Except deep
down, we
can never lose that connection with passion because it's the very
essence of our being. It's just that we have gotten side tracked
during the monotonies of life.
So, if you are
ready to
get back on track and are ready to feel that passion
again, let's begin by changing the question of "What is
passion" to "I am passion."
How do I do this,
you ask? Here are a few suggestions..
Enjoy
the moment
When you're
passionate about the moment.. even when it's an uncomfortable moment..
you're allowing yourself to just be.
Allowing yourself to embrace the moment provides opportunities you may
have missed otherwise.
Dream
and use your imagination.
It's amazing how
good it feels to daydream. Think about a place you'd like to be and put
yourself there in this very moment. For example, during long,
non-inspiring days I
like to imagine myself lying in a field of wild flowers with nothing to
do except dream and gaze at the sky.
Let
the joys of others become your own.
You can
automatically tell when someone is passionate about their life.
Passionate people have a presence about them that is immediately
intoxicating. If you ask these
folks "what is passion," they'll answer you with their actions. Just
observe and take notes. They are earth angels.

Very creative but not realistic. Not sure how you would derive passion from pain. I know I wasn't passionate when I was being abused as a child.
