The Eighth Key: Passion
We've reached the end of this blog series: The Invisible Touch (patterned after the terrific book by Harry Beckwith).
And what a great way to end it: talking about passion.
Dictionary.com says this:
–noun
1. any powerful or compelling emotion or feeling, as love or hate.
2. strong amorous feeling or desire; love; ardor.
3. strong sexual desire; lust.
4. an instance or experience of strong love or sexual desire.
5. a person toward whom one feels strong love or sexual desire.
6. a strong or extravagant fondness, enthusiasm, or desire for anything: a passion for music.
7. the object of such a fondness or desire: Accuracy became a passion with him.
8. an outburst of strong emotion or feeling: He suddenly broke into a passion of bitter words.
9. violent anger.
10. the state of being acted upon or affected by something external, esp. something alien to one's nature or one's customary behavior (contrasted with action).
11. (often initial capital letter) Theology.
-
a. the sufferings of Christ on the cross or His sufferings subsequent to the Last Supper.
b. the narrative of Christ's sufferings as recorded in the Gospels.
12. Archaic. the sufferings of a martyr.
Take your pick of the definition YOU want.. but here's what I'm talking about.
Passion:It's what keeps you driving forward in your life, energized, excited to "get at it," ready to jump out of bed early in the morning because sleep has kept you from accomplishing some of your tasks (even though you really need the sleep!).
It's that inner voice that says "I LOVE what I am doing" and you want to share that feeling with others.
It's a never-say-stop attitude that won't allow set-backs to keep you from accomplishing all you know you need to do in life.
It's an attitude that says what you are doing is important, fulfilling, fun!
Its what keeps you going when things are a bit tough and it keeps you going even through 93 "chapters" of a blogging book where you want to share your ideas with the world.
It's the energy of life, the tonic for what ails you, the formula to achieve all your goals, and the long-range laser-focus on your personal summit of achievement.
Wow… I really got wound up in that!
Passion: it's life itself… and I feel blessed to have an abundance of it.
Epilogue… Thanks for reading this. What a thrill it's been for me to complete this whole new book on The Invisible Touch… MY way. I appreciate your taking time to share it.
And now – leave me a comment here to tell me what YOU feel about this!
Best,
