Have you ever noticed that being passionate about something fills you with an energy that seems to be non-stop? Spiritual entrepreneur and talk show host, Oprah Winfrey, once said, “Passion is energy. Feel the power that comes from focusing on what excites you.”
Oprah created a billion-dollar-plus business from her passion. We won’t all do that, but we can use passion to increase our energy levels to the point that we’re doing what excites us and that makes us healthier to boot.
The more passionate you are about what you do the more positive energy you exude. Passion inspires you and makes your life more abundant. Whether you’re passionate about your personal life, your work or anything else, passion is what will fuel your inner fire to happiness and sometimes, greatness.
No one who is successful today has gotten to where he or she is without an outpouring of passion for what they’re doing. Being creative is one of your most basic needs and if you’re creative and feel passion for what you’re doing, you’re going to experience prosperity and health.
Perhaps you don’t really know what you’re passionate about. Here are a few ways to determine what your passion is. If you try it and find you aren’t as passionate as you thought you were, go back to square one and try again. It’s important for you to find your passion.
What excites you? If you have a hobby or work that excites you, you’re well on your way to finding your passion. Spend some time thinking about the answers to this question.
What are you good at? You may have been told that you have real talent as a writer, but have ignored it until now. Spend some time thinking about what you’re really good at and think about how you could turn that into a passion that could take you far.
Do you enjoy reading about certain subjects? You might be passionate about reading about history and various cultures. Spend some time thinking and researching what you could do with those subjects.
Passionate energy invites success for that passion into your life. It’s within all of us. You just have to dig a little bit to make it come out. Don’t waste the rest of your life in work or a pursuit that just isn’t meant for you and that you feel no passion for.
Oprah Winfrey also said about passion, “If you don’t know what your passion is, realize that one reason for your existence on earth is to find it.”
I would alter that a bit and say, the one reason for your existence on earth is to find your joy…and when you find joy, passion and success will follow.
