What Is Your Passion?


What is passion? Dictionary definitions include "a powerful emotion, such as love, joy, hatred, or anger; ardent love; strong sexual desire; lust; the object of such love or desire; boundless enthusiasm or the object of such enthusiasm; an abandoned display of emotion, especially of anger", and so on. 

This article is about passion in the sense of powerfully focused emotion/enthusiasm. Your passions can be an excellent indicator of what you are here to do. Before coming to this planet, we agreed to a separation from our eternal selves, so that part can only speak to us through our emotions, saying "yes, that one" or "no, not this way". The more passionate you are on a certain topic, the more likely it is to be part of what you are here to do. The following questions will help you identify your passions: 

What do you LOVE
What do you KNOW
What do you DESIRE
What do you EXCEL AT
What do you FOCUS ON
What do you SEE that others don't? 
What do you need to INTEGRATE? That means getting your system lined up with what you want, on all levels. 

These seven are the components of PASSION. So let's look at them:

What do you LOVE? When you love someone or something, then you automatically see the best in that person or topic, and willingly lend yourself to its care and support. This opens up your faculties for compassion and light. You are more naturally light-hearted and enlightened about those things you love, and this increases your desire and ability to learn about that person or subject. Remember when you were in love? And how you wanted to know everything about your beloved? Well, some people feel the same about medicine, design, or engineering: it's endlessly fascinating if that is the object of your love. Well, if that topic is part of your blueprint, you will have a similar enduring fascination. So what you love is going to be part of what you are here to do. In fact, learning to love is one of our required courses during this lifetime. 

What do you KNOW? Your inner blueprint is always going to combine your previous experiences and types of training, no matter how diverse. Whatever you did and learned in the past adds to your unique skill set and perspective, both of which can be used in the service of your divine blueprint once you are in alignment. 

What do you DESIRE? What do you lean in to? What do you feel the lack of when it's absent, and enjoy when it reappears? Contrary to some religious positions that distrust desire, or see it as the root of all suffering, I believe that desire is your firmest connection between your higher self and your human self, between the seen and unseen fields. Through desire, your eternal self is attempting to guide you using your emotions. When you have expanded feelings, it means "go here - do this!" Contracted or negative feelings mean "not this one". So you can use your desire nature to find out what you are here to engage with. Usually your desires are positive, and bring you joy or pleasure. Of course, sometimes the lesson is "don't do this again!"

What do you EXCEL AT? If you are designed to do something specific, you will naturally have the resources to fulfill your assignment. You come fully loaded with the talents and programs you require to thrive! So many people think they should do this or that, then look at how they can train as an accountant, doctor, architect, or whatever. They think about what might work for them, rather than asking what their inner blueprint calls for. People who go the conventional route tend to get burnt out by their 40s, because the work they do is out of alignment for their lives. It's so much more efficient and enjoyable to listen within and find out what programs you already have, and what you require to polish that up and express it. Mozart had a innate genius for composition; he just needed to practice the piano, and fortunately was born to a father who taught keyboards. Now, that's the way to learn excellence! 

What do you FOCUS ON? By universal law, what you focus on expands in your life. You always focus on what's important to you, for good or ill. Some people appear to relish suffering, martyrdom, poverty and depression - at least they stay focused on stress or pain. Your focus says a lot about what your Spirit finds important. One person devotes a lot of time to staying fit and healthy; another speaks/writes/thinks about spiritual issues all the time. Yet another is fascinated by numbers and spends all her time on mathematics and physics. Someone else loves order, and becomes an accountant (as well as keeping a tidy home and having a haircut every month). Your focus shows up everywhere in your life, not just your profession, though of course, it's best to have a profession that uses your natural focus! Fortunately it's usually easy to identify your natural focus, because (of course) you'll be spending a lot of time doing whatever that is. 

What do you SEE that others don't see? This identifies your area of service, and thus what you are passionate about. Serving humanity, the planet, and God (however you think of God) is about seeing problems and creating wonderful solutions that restore, improve or create better conditions for everyone. In order to solve a problem, you have to see that there is a problem. The more precisely and clearly you see a particular problem, the more likely it is that you are part of the solution, and the greater passion you will have for solving it. We each have a unique vision of the world, and we can use that to help co-create heaven on earth. This applies equally to the negative (situations that are out of whack) and positive (your vision of how great and wonderful things could be). Your vision will indicate your unique contribution to rebuilding the world. 

What do you need to INTEGRATE? Most of us have issues that need to be resolved, and goals that need to be integrated so that we can get back in alignment with who we truly are. Integration means bringing your goals into harmony with your field so that what you desire becomes possible for you. A goal is anything you want that you don't have yet. Most people don't attain their goals because they have contamination's to their bio-computers that are blocking their system; when those contamination's are cleared, many things become possible that were not possible before. The most effective way to to integrate your goals is using Geotran human programming, because Geotran integrations are designed to get you back in alignment with your divine self. Setting your goals helps you to see who you are and what you truly want, and integrating them resets your alignment - so it's a double treat! 

So what are you passionate about? Where does your enthusiasm show itself most strongly? That is the single most important indicator of what you are here to do. The fortunate ones have such strong passions that they know immediately what path to take. Most of us have to work at it a bit, because everyone has pressure from their family, culture or society, and that can be distracting until you learn that being who you are is the most important thing you in life. 

So, although detachment is required for mastery, and that makes many masters look unemotional, detachment does NOT diminish your passions. Rather, detachment gives you a sense of proportion, so that you can channel your passions in the best and most obedient way. With detachment, you can balance obedience and your passions in the service of your divine assignment here on planet earth. Without passion, you don't have a direction or assignments to focus on. So cherish your passions, have fun with them, give them free rein, and allow them to direct you in line with what you're here to do!

How to Find Your Passion in Life

Being passionate about life is essential to one's happiness. Life becomes dull and boring if you don't do what makes you happy. Find out what is your passion and pursue it. It is the best antidote to the frustrations and drudgeries that life may bring.


Know Yourself



A great philosopher once said that it is necessary for a person to know himself. The best time to experience this is during quiet moments when you commune with yourself and your God. Soul searching brings tremendous enlightenment to one's mind. It helps you to discover your strengths and weaknesses. In doing so, you come to understand and accept yourself better. Meditation also helps you to set your priorities. This leads you to put more importance on the things that matter most in your life. So take time for meditation and prayer each day. The self discovery that it brings will help you decide what you want to do in life.



Do the Things that Make You Happy



Your happiness does not depend on anybody but yourself. Try to discover what makes you happy and do it! Your passion may come from doing simple things or doing great things not only for yourself but for others. This could be a love for writing, singing, acting, cooking or doing charity work. Whatever it is, it should give you enjoyment and self-fulfillment. Many people engage in their passion hoping that it will bring them fame or material success. If this fails to happen, their passion may diminish or even be forgotten. Do not be bitter if success fails to accompany your passion.



Find Time for Yourself



Some people are guilty of neglecting themselves. They are too busy with their career, business, relationship or family life. Doing the thing that you love during a needed break is beneficial to your well-being. It will result to a more relaxed and happier you. It is the best cure for stress. Managing stress creates a more balanced and fulfilled existence.




Ignore Destructive Criticisms



Sometimes people are discouraged to pursue their passion because of destructive criticisms. These criticisms may come from other people or from his own self. People may not like your writing style, your singing or what you cook. Remember that you are not obliged to please everybody. Somehow, there are also people who would appreciate what you do. What is important is that you give your best and you find fulfillment in it. You will not have the confidence to pursue your passion if you are over-critical about your own abilities. Self-doubt can often lead to inaction.



Passion for something is like loving somebody. Like love, it comes from the desire of the heart. Life becomes more meaningful and enjoyable when you follow your heart.
