Go for it !!!  Find the passion to get what you really want.


A Second Chance At Life ... "An old dream, a new passion -- going after it may take nerves of steel, but the reward is a pearl beyond price.  The first truth about second chances, they rarely happen by chance."  Quote by:  Katherine Russell Rich 

It's that surge of spirit that helps you know -- pursue -- what you really want out of life.  When you are willing to wrestle with the ultimate question, [what do I want?] you will arrive at some very unexpected answers.  When you feel a burst of energy or excitement, stop a moment and see what got your attention; that's your passion talking.  If you think you lack passion, look at it another way:  What activity, when you're doing it, makes time fly?  Passion brings out our best, and worst.  When you're being assaulted by negative feelings  e.g.  rage, jealously, envy, fear, etc., try not to act till the storm has passed.

Passion is energy.  Feel the power that comes from focusing on what excites you,  passion is contagious.  Hang out with people who dive into life.  Their enthusiasm may prompt you to find out what turns you on, what makes you feel alive.  Be a woman on a mission.  Find an organization or cause you believe in wholeheartedly, and commit time, energy and ingenuity to it.

"Be still  when you have nothing to say.  When genuine passion moves you, say what 
  you've got to say, and say it hot."  Quote by:  D.H. Lawrence, British writer

"Nothing great in the world has been accomplished without passion."
 Quote by:  Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel, German Philosopher

"The worst sin, perhaps the only sin passion can commit, is to be joyless"
 Quote by:  Dorothy L. Sayers, British writer

"Blaze with the fire that is never extinguished"  Quote by: Luisa Sigea, Portuguese scholar

"It is the soul's duty to be loyal to its own desires.  It must abandon itself to its master 
  passion"   Quote by: Rebecca West

"There was a disturbance in my heart, a voice that spoke there and said, I want, I want. I  
 want !
  It happened every afternoon, and when I tried to suppress it, it got even stronger"
 Quote by:  Saul Bellow

"Passion kept one fully in the present, so that time became a series of mutually 
  exclusive 'nows' "    Quote by:  Sue Halpern

"Waste no more time talking about great souls and how they should be.  Become one
  yourself"     Quote by:  Marcus Aurelius

What Passion haven't you indulged recently?  Devote time today to something you're wild about:  golf, dancing, skiing, cooking, making art ... making love.
