I dedicate this blog especially for my dear friend that alerted me that I wrote a blog on live your passion but since her passion is sleeping wants to know how to awaken her passion.  I also write this to all my girlfriends reading that may think they have lost theirpassion.

I am certain ourpassionscan come back; it may not be easy but nonetheless quite doable.  For apassionto be sleeping it must have been put to sleep.  Sadness, disappointment, fear of waking up to life, can all be causes of ourpassionto go to sleep.  We all go through different degree of pain in our lives, some more than others.Pain is a passion killer; but it doesn't have to be a passion ender!

I have a great friend that often says, you must feel the pain to go through the pain.  At some point in our lives, we must get past the pain and back to where we  can be awake and experience joy once again.

No one, of course, can awaken yourpassionexcept yourself.  So I ask, what are you going to do for yourself to awaken thatpassion.  It's easy to fall into a rut after living in pain or doom and gloom for so long.  Remember, thatsomething wonderful can be around the corner.  It's time we call it into our lives and not sit back and wait for it to come to us.  To know yourpassionclearly is the first step, it's like sowing a seed in your consciousness.  Just like sowing a seed, a plant doesn't grow overnight – you must water it and nurture it with the right amount of light.  It's important to be around people that can inspire you to this next stage.  Here are a few things you may try.

1. Write down the things you liked to do as a child.  Open your memory to the fun you can remember.  We must re-energize the child within and be silly, laugh and play once again.
2. Make a list of about 5 or so things you like to do as an adult; be true to yourself and totally honest.

I ask that you get back to what you really love to do.  Not your job, not being a wife or mother.  Something just forYOU!  Something that givesYOUjoy.  The gifts you have.  The desires you have; we all have desires and gifts.  Search and you will find them.  Life gets in the way and we forget our passions.  We awaken to who we really are; we are precious to this life and connect with something bigger than us.

There is a proverb that states, "Ourpassionsare the winds that propel our vessel.  Our reason is the pilot that steers her.  Without winds the vessel would not move and without a pilot she would be lost."Get back in the pilot seat, motivate yourself, and steer your plane that we call life!

Remember, may the possibilities of today excite us all!
