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?

How to live your passion NOW

You don’t realize it, but in the next few minutes you’re going to discover a step-by-step process to begin living your passion NOW.

If you’re like me, you’re bombarded with solutions to living a passion-filled life.

Do you notice that these solutions offer all sorts of exercises, workbooks and programs to “figure out” what you passion is?

Here’s a fact for you, over 85 % of people don’t enjoy their work, so you have probably figured out that maybe a new approach is called for.

So here you are wondering what I’m going to offer in this article…

A Solution to Discovering Your Passion

Read on…

Think back to a happy time when you were a child.

You generally acted, moment to moment, on your feelings and followed your heart as to what you wanted to do.

Chances are you didn’t analyze every action or activity, but merely went with the flow, deciding along the path whether you wanted to go this way or that way.

You rarely criticized or judged your steps, but merely corrected course along the way.

As you picture this happy time and this care-free period of your life, ask yourself if you have changed how you live as you got older? Why?

Sure, you need to be responsible, work, earn money and look after things; you’re an adult now, right?

You see, a passionate life is not a destination; it is a practice, no different then martial arts or writing. And the more you practice, the better you get at it.

Begin Living Your Passion

You may be surprised to discover that “living your passion” can begin right now.

But first, let’s face “The Crossroads.”

Everyday, you are at the crossroads of your life.

You can choose to go this way or that way, but you can’t stand still, it doesn’t work that way.

If you knew that “This Way” is the way of ideal life and “That Way” is the way of more of the same, which direction would you choose?

Seems easy, right? But what if I replaced “This Way” with Passion?

And what if I replaced “That Way” with Fear?

Let’s face it; if you’re not living your passion, you’re living your fear.

Could you imagine, when you were a child, raising your hand in class when the teacher asks; “Who wants to grow up and live their fear?”

Of course you couldn’t.

Here’s the Cool Thing About Passion

It doesn’t matter what happened prior to reaching this crossroads. It doesn’t matter what happened five minutes ago, five days ago or five years ago, you’re at a new crossroads right now and can choose a different direction.

Great, you’re at this crossroads, now what?

When you make a decision, any decision, from a sense of love, serenity or joy, you’re living your passion.

When you make a decision based on scarcity, worry or doubt, you’re living your fear.

A passionate day is one where you made more decisions from passion then fear. A passionate life is the accumulation of passionate days.

Remember, you don’t have to do anything in this life, not-a-thing.

Only do what you feel inspired to do. That’s where the “money*” is.

But it’s not that easy, is it?

As this article ends, think of the value of getting support along the way, of having someone who has helped thousands of people make more supportive decisions at The Crossroads.

Someone who can lead you by the hand and guide you step-by-step toward living a more passionate (and profitable) life.

I have created a very reasonable solution for you.

You’re at the Crossroads, which way do you want to go?
