The Lack Of Passion
Our busy lives steal our energy.
So much of our attention is placed on those activities “outside” of our selves, we often fail to give our inner self the attention it deserves. This lack of attention results in a disconnection and feeling like we are not grounded or are even “missing” something.
This is an unbalanced way to live.
It’s very much like watching a movie and then walking into the picture because you forgot you were sitting down. As a human you are both the observer and the participant. If you disconnect with the observer part, you are not going to feel like a whole person.
One of the symptoms of being disconnected from the observer (in you) is a lack of passion. On the other hand, when your lifestyle and activities embrace all of your self, passion begins to flow in your life. You don’t feel like you are just going through the motions. You feel “alive”.
When was the last time you felt passion?
Finding your passion and following your passion is the greatest adventure any of us can take. Sometimes you need to take stock of the reality of your day to day life. If you find that a lack of passion has become normal, you may want to rethink the direction your life is going in… and make a change.
