Bloggers Note: We have been occupied finishing up the final steps to our Passion Test Facilitator certification and can now get back on track blogging. Thanks for your patience. |
We may never know the effect we have on another. A kind word, allowing someone ahead of you in traffic, a held door or a smile – any one of these may just make a difference in someone’s day, maybe in their life. You just never know.
If we’re lucky enough or blessed enough and if the Universe so aligns, we learn that something we did has had a profound impact on another. It inspires, it touches us and it can even leave one in awe. It has for me.
When we allow the flow of the Universe to come through us unhindered, things unfold as they are meant to. When we hold fast to the way we think things should be, our concepts of how they should be, we block the flow and stifle enjoyment and fulfillment of living our personal destiny. It can be a hard notion to grasp, especially for those who must think they are in
control.
The funny thing is we don’t need to know the “how.” The “how” is not our business, it is the business of a higher power. And, this is just what is happening to Lynn and me, over and over and over again. It’s amazed us both, beyond any experience we’ve ever had.
So, what am I talking about? As you know, we’ve become Certified Passion Test Facilitators and have been working with clients to give them The Passion Test. We even did a little bit of the work before we became certified. (It was OK since we didn’t call ourselves certified.) The remarkable results and feedback we’re now receiving is becoming a regular occurrence. Time after time we hear about the unexpected outcomes people are having as they get in touch with their passions.
For instance, old and limiting conversations are disappearing. Career paths are coming into focus with velocity. Childhood dreams are off the back shelf and on track to becoming reality. Most of these episodes are happening in the most unexpected ways. The people who have gotten themselves out of the way, opened their thinking to accept the course the Universe has set for them are experiencing the kinds of results one can only dream of.
For instance, Matt told me that a life-long issue with reading comprehension, a deep seated area of personal embarrassment, is literally dissolving before his eyes. Beverly allowed the Universe to guide her and she has produced a PowerPoint presentation and is beginning to give talks about gratitude, harmony and trust: a life-long desire manifesting
itself after taking The Passion Test.
Matt and Beverly, like so many more, are focusing their Attention on their Intentions. Their passions are connecting them to their destiny. They are fulfilling their purpose here and finding that much sought after inner satisfaction and peace. What we put our Attention on grows in our lives.
Lynn and I are now both living our destinies as we serve others to find theirs. It’s easy and so much fun. I just had to share.

I, too, love working with others to uncover what their passion is. It is wonderful to wake up feeling excited about what the day has in store, feeling great about yesterday’s accomplishments, and excited about doing the things you love to do, and pursuing the goals that mean the most to you as you plan your day. That is what living your life on purpose is all about.
When people find their purpose, their daily decisions take on a whole new meaning. People who know what is important to them and are pursuing a purpose move through life knowing exactly where they are going, pursing goals
that are based on what is most important and valuable to them.

Rachel,
Makes me wonder why anyone would refuse to dig a little to discover their essence. It’s soooo essential. You’re enthusiasm for it resonates with us.

Rick, I see a lot of discussion on this topic, because people seeking success in business and life are discovering that without passion for what you do, it’s very hard to get past mediocrity and “so-so” results. I appreciate your own passion for helping people get clarity and focus that will benefit them many times over!

Eldon,
Until we got what our passion was we were pretty lost. It made such an impression on us that we got Certified to facilitate it.
Thanks for your insights.

Inspirational Rick … I know sometimes it’s tempting to focus on the problems and squeaky wheels in our lives, but there is nothing that will touch the heart so deeply as when you realize you’ve made a positive difference in someone’s life. Congratulations again!

Such a great article! You’re totally right, when it’s about passion, we all have to forget about the ‘how’-s. Passion isn’t built up that logical way. It’s much more emotional and spiritual than rational.

Julia,
It’s the most difficult thing for us of the 21st Century to do, not know the “how.” Took me quite some time to let go of the need to know and to just focus on my Intentions.
Thanks for leaving your thoughts.

Passion…I heard on one of my audios the other day. You need to have a “chief aim” and go for it. Don’t worry about the “how”. If you are felling good about it (passionate) it will come.
And Congrats on your certification.

Jaden,
Thanks for the thoughts. More and more we hear about leaving the how to the “Universe.” Napoleon Hill understood.

Passion is the thing which motivates us in our job/hobby/life when we feel tired and weary, it could help us get out of stuck and increase our willpower to make things with passion.

I talk about having passion for what you do… especially a lot at conferences, even for blogging, design, and development. I always feel if you are not passionate about what you are doing, then what are you doing it for and wasting your time.

It doesn’t matter what you are passionate about, just as long as you feel the divine flowing through you.

Hi Rick,
If you are not passionate about whatever you are doing you will have no motivation to keep trying and you will never be really successful. Addiotionally if we are passionate with our job then we will never see it as work and we will enjoy it and our life in general…

Rick,
I have experienced this many times.
One small example is a woman who came to one of my festivals to tell me she had attended a workshop of mine 4 years previously and that after that her life had completely turned around. She was passionate and excited and said that wasn’t her before!
You are right. We rarely know how many lives we touch on our journey and when we are on track life does have a habit of working out!

Everyone deserves a kind word here and there, but we really don’t think about that as the days go by. We should be happy to see our fellow man happy and joyful, which will brighten our day/life.
