I recently realized the thing I love above all else, is communication. Written and verbal, I love sharing and learning things!

Passion has a powerful magnetic force to it, when we step into our passion, it is reflecting something essential about ourselves. We are at once the best placed to do it, and love to do it at the same time.

Relatedly, when we step into passion, the idea that we can have it all becomes increasingly true. It perhaps is advisable that we have some security from which we can totally jump into our passions, but now always offers a starting point for sowing the seeds.

I have a friend who is a follower of the Christian tradition. He is an eloquent speaker and when he talks about religion, passionate and insightful teachings simply ooze out of him. The creative flow of passion is a product of our passion’s connection to our unique essence.

Miracles and signs start to happen the more we embrace our essence. Two people I talked with recently about life and work asked me if they could record what I was saying! Now for some reason, my first thought was that I’m a confusing guy, but they told me that what I was saying was very valuable, which has inspired me to step more toward my passion.

But notice my first thought, it points to something, it is that the chief blockade to realizing our passion and its fruits is doubt and fear. Do you have a dream but see it as a distant ‘nice to have’?

The equation is simple: for as long as fear outweighs desire, we are certain to not live the life of our dreams.

I believe we’re here to experience being a unique, embodied essence. This essence is a fraction of a whole creative force; the essence of life from creation lives for its own sake. As a form of creation, we are here to realize and express our creative essence.

Life can be more or less numb when we ignore this. Existing in society is great, but to repress our individuality and essence to comply with it is another matter.

Our dreams for our life are here for a reason, as reminders of what could be. This life is too short to not step into this wonderful opportunity. Waiting for the right time is something of an illusion. If you love to do something, if you take joy in sharing it, why wait and put yourself on hold?

What’s stopping you from taking a step closer to your passion? Is it your north star in life, or is a measure of security serving as that star?

I am asking exactly these questions too, and perhaps these are the most important questions many of us can ask.
