How do we live our lives with passion? What is passion? Clue, it definitely involves running through the house with scissors!
It might be as small and simple as reading to your children or in your local library for a bunch of little ones! Or picking up a coloring book and actually coloring in the pages like you once did as a tot. Remember when you were little and that thing or things you did for hours and hours that you couldn't wait to go do after school or dinner and time had no existence? You maybe were wearing pants that mom made from the living room curtains and a Scooby Doo t-shirt and hadn't combed your hair yet that day but by golly it didn't matter cuz you were doing what made you happy what brought you joy and excitement and endless and timeless adventures and thrills! That my friend is passion! Close your eyes and go back and feel that excitement you once felt...go ahead close your eyes and remember and FEEL. That, that feeling, that is PASSION! What happened? It started getting squeezed out and responsibilities and to do lists edged their way in and then puff...no more passion. Time is lost though out our days with all that adulthood brings with it but we need to remember living our life in passion brings so much joy into our existence and our cups start overflowing onto everything and everyone! Life becomes more colorful! We only get one shot at this game called life, ONE shot! Think about that, I have been and when I find myself saying, "I want to do that", I don't just long for that, I actually get my dusty butt off the couch and try it! No one is looking to see if we are "doing it right", so just do it...as Niki says.
Elizabeth Gilbert, author of "Eat, Pray, Love", said, "Ask yourself, what do I really, really, really, want, and you have to say really, really three times or it won't come true". What do you really, really, really want? How can you bring passion into your life?
Have a dance party with yourself in your living room...put on that sparkly tutu that has been sitting in the back of your closet begging for you to wear and dance! Pssssssssst~ do it with your eyes closed so no one can see you!
Live life in Color!
