False first impressions can lead to great awareness

Posted on March 4, 2010 by Chris and Janet Attwood

I am pleasantly amazed at how frequently people appreciate a relationship, a friendship, a career or even an event more fully when they enter into the experience with a preconceived idea that proves to be untrue.

I recently had the pleasure of speaking with a woman who had just begun reading The Passion Test and with her permission I wanted to share her interesting and encouraging impressions.

“When I first read the title, I thought that I didn’t need the book because I was already living my passion. In the past few years I had really defined my role as a full-time writer, I love what I do and I am really good at it. It wasn’t until I started to drill down on my markers as part of the process in your book that I realized being a writer was just one of the five things I was passionate about, but it is the only title I had been using to define myself lately. I also thought the phrase, ‘When my life is ideal, I am….’ was a very important part of the process because it was not about thinking that when I have this or do that then I will be happy. Not only was this a great shift in my awareness, but the thought of setting intentions and giving attention to the other four areas of my life gave me goose bumps. How exciting it was to realize that I really can have all of those things. I can’t wait to keep going!”

After hearing her story I too had goose bumps. I realized how much I was looking forward to staying connected with her to witness her breakthroughs on her way to fully living a passionate life.
