Question:
It is not that I have a lack of passion, but how do I integrate it into my life so that I have it all?
Answer:
In our attempts to have it all, we can sometimes find ourselves shifting our focus from one thing to another, dedicating spurts of energy and effort on certain areas of our lives at a time. We may work a great deal and not pay as much attention to our family, or work on our physical wellness while not taking time for spiritual growth. The great thing about finding your five passions is that you can create a way of living that keeps you focused on those top five easily. As we often say…
“Your passions are like breadcrumbs, leading you on to fulfill your life’s purpose”
Often times you may not conscious of where you are placing your attention. Thoughts come and go, without much notice. In order to consistently live your life aligned with your passions and have it all you need to create habits that support your vision for a purposeful life. Just like any other habits, it takes repetition to cement these ways of being into our lives.
Review your top five passions and create small routine practices that you can integrate into your daily life. Here are some examples of cultivating success habits, can you think of more?
Success Habits
- Taking time daily to review your top five passions
- Choosing in favor of your passions whenever you’re faced with a decision
- Taking responsibility for the life you’ve created
- Getting regular exercise
- Getting adequate rest
- Charitable giving on a regular basis
- Eating healthy foods that support clarity
- Speaking positively and uplifting others through your speech
- Choosing friends who share your positive energy
Now we are not expecting you to keep your attention on all of these at the same time, every day. Choose to create one new habit and commit to it for twenty-one days, master it and then move on to another one.
Having it all involves making conscious decisions and keeping focused attention on what you want. If you do, it will grow stronger in your life.
