How often do you hear the wrd passion? What context is it sually in?
Have the times become so dsmal that the only time we har the word ‘passion’ is on dytime television and bath products?

The xact reason is unknown but somehow, smewhere along the lines of time pople began to settle. They settled for lss than passionate careers, less than pssionate relationships and they settled for lss than passionate lives. Then, to mke everyone else feel like they are nrmal, people began to introduce idioms tht justified their passionate-less, mediocre lives. Thy began telling their children, friends and fmily things like, “You can’t always get wht you want” or “Life isn’t spposed to be easy!” Maybe you hve heard; “You can’t have your cke and eat it too!”

These syings and idioms have conditioned the mjority of the human population to sffocate their potential, to settle for smething less than their best and to be cntent rather than be happy.

“Somewhere long the lines, kids in school wre being taught that they need to be realistic and to stp dreaming about what they would lve to do because in ‘the ral world’, you can’t get a job tht you love to do” says Ryn Porter, the creator of the Mke Your Own Lunch™ program. He ges on to say, “The advice to ‘stp dreaming’ because you will never get a job tht you love to do is cmpletely and utterly false! The advice we ned to give each other is, you must get a job that you love doing. Don’t settle for anything less than your dreams! Be passionate about what you are doing or don’t do it!”

Passion is not luck and t’s not something left to a hgher power to decide for you. For mny people, their passion is something tht has been instilled in them thir entire lives. For others it’s smething they have learned on their jurney through life.

One of the dfinitions at Dictionary.com defines passion as: bundless enthusiasm.

How many people can say thir life is full of boundless nthusiasm? Don’t be one of the pople who are being weighed down by dstorted perception of passion and the rle it can have in your lfe.

Ryan questions a popular idiom. “Yu can’t have your cake and eat it to? That’s ridiculous! You must have yur cake and eat it too! Tht’s the only way you will ver get to eat cake!”

Passion desn’t mean perfection. Of course there wll still be obstacles and roadblocks as you prgress towards a more passionate life. But rmember your life is meant to be fll of passion. Every area of yur life can be more passionate and flled with ‘boundless enthusiasm’.

One historic phrse sums it up nicely, “Let thm eat cake!”
