With that inspiration, how do you go about creating the life you choose to live?
Intention - Attention - No Tension
Intention means consciously stating what you choose to create in your life. We all are creating our lives all the time. It's just that most people do it unconsciously. They believe that things are happening TO them, and as a result, that's what they create. The Passion Test process allows you to clarify your intentions so that you can begin living them.
Attention - "What you put your attention on grows stronger in your life." In The Passion Test we say that "Action engages attention." Taking whatever action you can think to take in support of following your passions keeps your attention engaged in living those passions. Your Passion Cards are another one of the tools from The Passion Test to help you keep your passions nearby so they are in your awareness when you have to make decisions.
No Tension - This is the element many people miss. There are two aspects to "no tension." The first is to perform action from that state of calmness and peace inside. Developing that habit of living from a state of inner peace is why Transcendental Meditation® (www.tm.org) has been such an important part of our lives.
Once you have done all you can think to do, then let go. When you hold on to your own ideas of how your passions will get fulfilled, it's like stepping on your own hose. The flow of infinite intelligence is cut off. In our experience, you can't know how fulfillment will show up in your life. This is why one of the seven keys to living a passionate life in Chapter 7 of the book is: "Stay Open."
Today's Tip for Folloing Your Passions: Begin to consciously practice these three steps. At the start of each day, write down your intention for the day, what steps you are going to take to fulfill that intention and then at the bottom of your page, write "This or something better."
