PASSION
by Michelle Wahlder • Dallas, TX

 

I am grateful for Passion. Passion is the life force propelling the purposedriven life. Our souls’ purpose is to have experiences that flame our deepest passions and help us grow into our fullest potential. Only through discovering and realizing our passions do we become confident about the direction for our lives and have the opportunity to find lasting happiness.

Fulfilling our passions is not a selfish act. Quite the contrary, expanding upon our passions is a service we provide to others. The music of Mozart has been the inspiration for untold acts of greatness. Individually, we have been moved by his music, and great artistic work has been created from the monumental force of his passion. Children have been lulled to sleep for generations by his piano version of the tune “Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star.” Dances have been performed and ceremonies conducted all through a love of his profound compositions. By fulfilling his passions, Mozart gave a gift to the world that continues to give unceasingly.

Engaging our passions allows us to be a channel for the Divine. Spiritualist Marianne Williamson says, “We are born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It’s not just in some of us; it’s in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.” When we allow our soul to open up and fulfill its destiny, we pave the road for others to do the same, influencing them in extraordinary ways. Our lives are intended to be passion in action. In order to live fully and completely without regret, we must unleash the passion that vibrantly lives within. Alphatudes the alphabet of gratitude
