(excerpts from the new book: "I am that...that is in the Well")
The unexamined life is not worth living." Socrates
We may not know today our mission. We may not know our passions, but we must find them in order to live a fullfilled life.
The only thing standing between you finding your passion is you.
You, and only you, can do this. It is not going to be bought at Wal-Mart or Tiffeny’s. Radio Shack has some great ‘techie’ stuff but it is your desire that drives you to these stores for something. I buy ink for my writing. A means to an end. Clothing, jewelry, gadgets, ect. All are things that enhance our life, but for what purpose? And for what purpose will remain the central question?
Last year there were over 2 million ¼” drill bits sold in America. Why? Because people love to collect drill bits? No. Because they had a need to make a hole. And most holes, end up getting filled. The ultimate result of this activity will be to satisfy some immediate need or passion.
In order to discover our passions, we must pay attention to our activities. We must acknowledge when we are in our bliss. It is in this ‘state of mind’ that will realize how creative and courageous we become. Courageous, as in the lack of doubt or fear. In fact, these negative thoughts never seem to creep into our thinking.
When we are experiencing our passion, our thoughts keep expanding and growing. We have now entered the threshold of our passion. We must mark it down. Write a note about that moment. Put the note somewhere you can see and read it. And just like chasing the last bus in the night, when we are at the threshold of our passion, but must take that fateful step into the destiny of our soul and never look back.
