Passion: It Does a Life Good!

Damn! It has been awhile since my last post! I hope that everyone is doing well! I know I am! Well first and foremost I feel great: I am healthy, mentally prepared, and ready to rock and roll!

Well what has happened since my last post? Well I have completed my first year of teaching! I can't believe it! I enjoyed the students, parents, and faculty, that I had the pleasure of working with! Also, I have done a little bit of traveling, such as making my first trip to Montreal! Now that is one hell of a city! I have also been traveling to Martha's Vineyard to see my girlfriend. I have to say, this one of the best summer vacations I have had in quite some time. Also, I might be checking going to FL next month! All of these great events wouldn't have been able to take place if I didn't have a little something called passion.

Now what does the word passion mean to you? The word could be associated with a strong desire of completing a goal, a strong feeling felt in a romantic relationship or encounter, or perhaps loving what you do so much, that you eat, live, and breath it. Well , the beauty of all of these answers is that they are all correct. Passion can be very hard to describe on a verbal bases. However, if we see it in action , whether it be watching Kevin Garnett cry after the Celtics won the NBA title! , ( sorry the Celtics fan inside of me was begging for me to mention this), a mother holding her newborn child, or even watching a child play. All these events display passion. Having passion makes all the difference between having the job of your dreams, or settling for a job that is not as exciting. Basically, you can't make the damn cake with out the eggs!

The beauty about passion is that we all have it. Each living thing on this earth has desires, wants, and goals. Every time we think about them , we smile, it makes us want to work harder, most importantly, it uplifts our feelings. This is very important; how we feel during our day to day lives, eventually manifests will eventually manifest in our lives.

Now for the next few weeks, I am challenging you to focus on everything you want in life. I want you to have fun with this! Just picture yourself as a kid in a candy or toy store and mom just gave you her whole pay check to spend! I want you to really think about how you want every aspect in your life to be, whether it be your health, financial status, love life, job situation, how do you want it to be? Really think about it.

Now here is this activity I want you to try. Look for any type of box, don't worry about the size or width of it. This is going to be your dream box! I want you to find pictures of things you love, whether it be a fancy house, a body type that you want, or a symbols that make you happy, just find them and put them in your box! Also, if you want to write about a particular experience that would like to be a part of , such as receiving a free lunch or winning a few bucks from a scratch ticket, than put it in the box! Also, do your best to stay positive on what you are putting in your box and not think about how unrealistic something is. The main thing that I am trying to have you do is discover your desires, which will ultimately lead to your passion! I am trying to help you expand your imagination, to the equivalent of how you used it during your childhood. Unfortunately, as humans get older, we sometimes lose our imagination! If we don't have that, it makes our dreams ten times harder to manifest! So get to work on those boxes and dream big!


Note: I found this idea from Jerry and Esther Hick's book, Ask and It Is Given. Great Book, highly recommend it!
