Become Your Passion

Find your passion. Whatever it may be. It doesn't matter. What matters is that you find something you are passionate about.

When you are passionate, everything else falls into place in your life.

You no longer need to escape reality.

You don't end up in dead-end relationships, because you have respect for yourself.
You don't raid the cupboards for Oreos, because, you need not numb yourself from pain and emptiness.
You don't max out your credit cards and go on shopping sprees to fill up that void in your life, because your life is full and you no longer seek instant gratifications and quick fixes.

You don't use self-destructive behaviors to cope with life, simply because with passion comes respect, integrity and awareness.

Once you find your passion in life, your life has meaning, direction and a clear-cut reason for waking up every new morning.

Whatever your challenge is in life, finding something that you are passionate about... that wakes your inner fire is the most important first step in conquering obstacles and bringing back a focus point and meaning in your life.

Andy Irons describes how he used surfing as his way to conquer his inner demons in this video. Simplistic? Perhaps. Nevertheless most of us tend to forget the importance of following our hearts and taking risks in our lives...
Risks that may not be what society or what our friends and family think we ought to be taking, but ultimately, if you want to make a difference... in your own life and others, then you must find what you are passionate about. Only then will you find that your life has meaning and that you can truly let go of old self-destructive behaviors...

Where do you want to be when 2012 comes around...
More importantly: Who do you want to be?

Now go look in the mirror. Are you happy with who you have become?
If not, it's time to CHANGE!
