PASSION Step One

Renew the Passion

Well, I am on a MISSION!!  I decided that I need passion in my life.  I am definitely in need of passion.  I have been flat lined for way to long.  I have not had a reason to get up in the morning or a reason to stay up late in the evening.  If my life was a color it would be an ugly shade of grey.  I want something pretty. I want my life to be colorful and beautiful, not drab and uninviting.  I want to be passionate and fired up for both Jesus, and for Dennis’s and my new venture, Empower Network.  I want to be so excited that I stay up late and get up early just to study and learn more.  I want my life to be something that other people want.  Right now I am sure people would look and say – ok, but no thank you.  I can be miserable without what you have.

 

So, in studying how to develop passion I found out that passion is like a muscle, it grows and develops when it is used and pushed just that little bit outside of its comfort zone.  If a muscle is not used then it atrophies, meaning that it wastes away.  Passion is no different; if you don’t experience it for a while then it will be harder and harder to access it in the future.

 

I am so far removed from passion that my passion muscle is barely hanging on.  I am sure it is there, but it has dwindled down to almost nothing.  So, how do I get it back functioning?  Well, I have to get my passion muscle out and start giving it a work out.  Kind of like physical fitness.  If you are a couch potato and totally out of shape, in order to get back in shape you have to start small and rebuild you muscles a bit at a time.  You go to the gym every day and work bit by bit and one day you realize you aren’t the couch potato you used to be.  So, that is what I need to do with my passion muscle.

 

I have always heard “Fake it until you make it”.  So, that is exactly what I am going to do.  I am going to start this journey by pretending to be excited, fired up and passionate.  I read that the more you pretend the more you are likely to be able to actually feel it.  I am going to work that muscle by pretending until one day I wake up and realize that I am no longer pretending.  And realize that I am totally, for real, fired up and passionate and sold out for both Jesus and Empower Network.  Can’t wait!!!!

 

So, until next time I am going to be working on step one of my Passion Plan.  Pretend until it becomes real.

 

I am so excited!  I have a plan!!!

 

Have a fantastic day and work your Passion Muscle,
