Five Steps to Maintain a Passion for Life

Don’t Live to Work, Work to Live!

Children have intense passion for so many things because – they can! They live to fight off boredom. Children would rather play passionately than eat! Adults need to, and often enjoy eating. In order to eat, we must earn. To earn, we must work. Responsibility replaced the time where passion once “played.” We lose touch with what makes our lives worth living. If nonessential responsibilities are devouring your time, replace them with passionate pursuits that improve your world. Be passionate enough about life to make time for live.

Pursue Passions with a Passion!

There are things that we would do for free because we have a passion for them. Passions give us purpose and value. The world is ripe with opportunities to pursue our passions. The harvest begins with discovering, or in many cases, rediscovering passions waiting to be realized. Only our imagination limits the quality of our accomplishments. Our legacy depends on using passion to live our dreams.

Plan for the Journey of a Lifetime!

You won’t necessarily find worthy passions in the yellow pages or classified ads. Be resourceful. Life routinely places opportunities at your fingertips to utilize your talents and passions. Part of the secret of maintaining a passion for life is to keep it on the front burner. Don’t waste time waiting for the perfect scenario. The ultimate goal is to enjoy the journey. .

Just Add Action!

Those exhausted by the monotony and emptiness of their life must choose to take action to revitalize their spirit. It requires a patient, persistent, singleness of mind tempered by reason. Becoming more interested in your life demands an emotional investment from the heart not a pill! The only side effect of resurrecting your appreciation of life is making room for the rewards.

Put Passion on the Schedule!

Once you’ve tasted the joy of adding passion to your endeavors, it spills over into the daily grind that drained your passion in the first place. All that has changed is your perspective. Passion is flammable and burns brightest when it is nurtured and developed into a healthy habit and positive lifestyle.

Life is action and passion; therefore, it is required of a man that he should share the passion and action of the time, at peril of being judged not to have lived.

– Oliver Wendell Holmes
