"Your passion will get quiet if you do not respect it. It will remain quiet and you will not feel it much, until you give it some time and attention. Your passion will not be able to bring you the synchronistic events you need - if you do not pay attention to it. " Reading the last couple of lines, you may be thinking that I am off the deep end here

- however give this train of thought a minute...
You may have been told in the past that you can speak to your inner child - your subconscious - your Essence - your higher self in order to start receiving and communicating with your internal world. It is the same concept here...
Now, You can do the same thing with your passion/purpose. Address it as if it was a person - quiet yourself down and spend a few minutes thinking about what you want to say to it - or write to it.
If you do not know what your passion is - tell it that. Like so many other things in life you can have a relationship with your passion. You need to respect it - to hear it, to follow it in order to be your best authentic self.
If you have ignored the signals it gave you in the past - it may in fact have gotten very quiet and no longer gives you those inspirational impulses. It does not mean that you do not have a passion, it is simply lying dormant. It is time to discover it - to awaken it - to re-energize it.
"Most people are other people. Their thoughts are someone else's opinions, their lives a mimicry, their passions a quotation."
Exercise #2 - See previous blog post for Exercise #1
Take a 15 minute block of time and either write a letter to your passion or stand in front of the mirror, look yourself in the eyes and speak to it. You will ask for forgiveness.
Passion I am sorry because... and use this sentence over and over again until you feel you are done. It will be interesting for you to see what comes up ... Note how you are feeling.
AHA Moment: On a personal note, when I did this exercise myself, I realized that as long as I was with like minded people, I was very comfortable speaking about my passion and purpose. However, when I was not with folks of the same mind set - I felt almost embarrassed. Recognizing this was significant, because I have been able to address it.
Now give yourself a pat on the back for doing the exercise and have a wonderful day.
