Do You Have Time For Passion?

By Casey Kerr

All of us have something in this life that we feel passionately about. Something that makes us excited to think about. Something we really look forward to. Something we enjoy so much that we lose all track of time while we're engaged in it. Your passion can be related to people, work, a cause, a hobby or anything you feel passionate about.

How often do you allow yourself to participate in this interest/passion of yours? How do you feel when you deny yourself the opportunity to participate in this passion? If you had some free time and nobody needed you for anything what would you spend that time doing? What do you love to do? What could you talk about for hours?

We tend to think of passions as a luxury that only the very lucky, very rich or very irresponsible get to indulge in. When I think of celebrities' passions I think of Madonna with Kabala, Brad and Angelina with children's charities, Tom Cruise with Scientology. But there are so many others who followed their passions to do great good in the world (Mother Theresa - humanity, poverty and healing; Princess Diana - land mines, AIDS, children; Michael J. Fox -Parkinson's Research; Audrey Hepburn - UNICEF). Others follow their passions into careers and ultimately their purpose in this world (Suze Orman - financial independence; Steve Irwin (the Crocodile Hunter) - animal conservation; Emeril Lagasse/Julia Child/Rachel Ray (love her or hate her) - food; Tiger Woods - golf).

Devoting the time to immersing yourself in something you love is not a selfish act and it's not indulgent. It's as necessary to your well being as eating, breathing and sleeping. When you deny yourself the opportunities to feed your body, mind and spirit you have less to give back to the people in your life. Spending time doing what you love, gives you the energy you need to do the things that you have to do. It makes you a better person and it's serves as a big hint about what you're meant to do. It helps you to discover your purpose in this life.

How nice would your life be if the work you did every day was fulfilling to your soul and your bank account? How fabulous would it be to look forward to going to work and be amazed at how quickly the time flew by?
