Discovering your passion is easier then you think.  Some people make a big deal out of it, and I can understand why, but finding it is much closer then you think.

You see, years ago, I used to proclaim, “I don’t know what my passion is.”  And I realized my attitude kept me from finding out what my passion is or was.

You may have heard the expression; “what you focus on, expands in your awareness.”  When focused on “I don’t know…” I was really stating my doubt about knowing my passion.  I was focused on my doubt, and as a result, was expanding the amount of doubt and uncertainty I was feeling.  This was a troubling trend.

This doubt kept me from taking actions that would bring me the fruits of passion; love, serenity and joy.  It kept me in a place of searching rather then living.  It kept me from the divine flow that passion feels like.  Sure, it may sound corny, but consider when you’re passionate, doesn’t time fly by?  Don’t your activities seem effortless?

Perhaps you or someone you know has had a similar experience.  It can be frustrating to keep searching for something that seems so elusive, yet never getting clear confirmation or divine intervention as to what it is.

Over time, I realized I had to ‘stop searching’ and start paying attention.  I did not need to label something and clearly communicate it in an elevator speech to have it present in my life.  But, I had to shift my thinking.

Rather then discovering my passion, I had to shift my thinking to ‘living with passion.’ Rather then looking for something, I put my energy into doing those things that bring me joy.

I no longer had to discover it, I was free to focus on living it.  This simple, yet profound, shift in my thinking, lightened the burden I was assuming trying to discover something.  I was free to live with passion.

In ancient Rome, February was the official beginning of spring and was considered a time for purification. Houses were ritually cleansed by sweeping them out and then sprinkling salt and a type of wheat called spelt throughout their interiors.

Lupercalia, which began at the ides of February, February 15, was a fertility festival dedicated to Faunus, the Roman god of agriculture, as well as to the Roman founders Romulus and Remus.

To begin the festival, members of the Luperci, an order of Roman priests, would gather at the sacred cave where the infants Romulus and Remus, the founders of Rome, were believed to have been cared for by a she-wolf or lupa. The priests would then sacrifice a goat, for fertility, and a dog, for purification.

The boys then sliced the goat’s hide into strips, dipped them in the sacrificial blood and took to the streets, gently slapping both women and fields of crops with the goathide strips. Far from being fearful, Roman women welcomed being touched with the hides because it was believed the strips would make them more fertile in the coming year.

Later in the day, according to legend, all the young women in the city would place their names in a big urn. The city’s bachelors would then each choose a name out of the urn and become paired for the year with his chosen woman. These matches often ended in marriage. Pope Gelasius declared February 14 St. Valentine’s Day around 498 A.D.

While practical, I doubt the Roman ‘lottery’ system for romantic pairing would be well received today.

How could you demonstrate your passion for the one you care about today?
