Today, think before you speak. Be in control of every
word that leaves your mouth. Use your words as a force
for helping people.

Now just so we are clear about this, I am not talking about sweaty hot Palpitating heart flashes or spastically bouncing off walls, nor hip, hip hurray cheerleading….even though it is true, passion does come in all forms and degrees. The passion I mean is a strong inner knowing, a quiet sureness that continuously reassures that you are the one in control of your destiny, and that “the tiger you are holding by the tail is actually you!”

“I want it, I got it, sign me up,” might be your thoughts of the moment… and I fully intend to give you that gift, but first let’s play a game. Starting with you thinking about something that you want to bring into creation—a relationship, a new career or bringing your career to another level, a healthy fit trim body, or a new lifestyle in a better area or home?

Pick just one to work on, any one, even if you would like to create all of the ones above. Now, ask yourself, what is the fuel behind this dream? Is it a desire for money, possessions or fame? Whatever the reason, if your creation is not powered by a PASSION for you to follow your joy, you not only are going to be working overtime, it will never be all it can be. Again, the question rises up…how do you activate a passion generated by joy and not a need that demands effort and often doesn’t produce the results you want? How?…by not resisting your natural instincts and birthright to have what you want come in an easier and more joyful way. The sooner that you can let go of the limiting voices in your head that have convinced you that there is only one right way to achieve, the sooner you will allow and feel the buzz of PASSION pushing you forward to your dream.

At www.amazon.com. Meister Eckhart book called The Passion for Creation, really brings this message home.

Start by sparking your passion by creating a space to feel, to examine what really excites you. What dream you have always had, that if it came true would be like WOW. Now in that safe space, ask yourself these questions: What do you repeatedly dream about having, what is your vision or goal that you may never have shared with anyone else? What do you read about, watch on TV, often times get into conversations with others? Ask these questions repeatedly until you can clearly feel what excites you, and then give yourself the time and chance to investigate your passion…and then take the risk. Take the risk of falling in love with your dream and your own personal power of creation.

Since I have played in this game of creation for quite a long time now, I can honestly say that one of the biggest roadblocks that often shows up around creation is fear; False Evidence Appearing Real. Fear that some- one might not like or approve of your ideas, fear of stepping out of your comfort zone, fear that you won’t have the steam to stay with your dream and keep moving forward, fear that you will succeed. So now you have the tools to recognize the devil in the blue dress, what do you do about it?

Begin by feeling the fear, and then let it go. Then put a voice to the fear, say it out loud and visualize it evaporating in the air …like a puff of smoke. When you can see that the line between fear and excitement is very thin, then very quickly fear can turn into excitement and passion, and what use to be fear, can now fuel your creation. Transforming fear into passion is no different than going from knowing that you can’t hike a mountain because it’s too hard and scary-to taking on the challenged, reaching the top and feeling totally empowered. We stop the flow of great amounts of PASSION that could fuel our visions when we allow our fears to take over.

Shifting from denying and fighting the fear to accepting it, helps you to release it and then use it to keep you in the game. Let passion fill you up and lead you to your true joy. Smell more roses, watch more sunsets, eat dessert first, walk barefoot in the morning grass, and do more. Laugh more, dance more, love more, explore more places, be more spontaneous, indulge in more hobbies, lunch with more friends, smile more and have more fun. Do whatever you can to create a vibration that attracts a continuous flow of PASSION into everything you do. PASSION begets PASSION, so start working on building up that PASSION muscle this very minute. PASSION fuels creation because it is creation in full bloom!

One of the great benefits of the Law of Attraction is that you get more of what you show gratitude for. Whether you are grateful for the big things or small doesn’t matter. What does matter is being grateful.

Each day we’re given so many opportunities to be grateful. Our morning meal, the beautiful view on the way to work, a kiss from our children and spouse, a good friend, help from a co-worker. When was the last time you took a moment to appreciate all of the blessings in your life? Because when you show gratitude for these things you will attract more of the same.

These feelings of gratitude bring many positive emotions into your life. These positive emotions give you a more positive attitude. This positive attitude will continue to attract more positive experiences into your life.

Here are some Practical Steps to Practicing Gratitude

Start a gratitude journal. Write as many things down from you day as you can recall. What works for most people is to say “thank you” for everything they encounter each day, for example a sunrise/sunset, frost on the trees (especially when the sun is shining), food, shelter, warm homes and offices, clothing, colleagues, work/jobs.

Do a gratitude alphabet exercise. In your gratitude journal, write the letters from A – Z. As fast as you can, write down I am grateful for ????? starting with the letter A and going through the alphabet. For example: I am grateful for apples, I am grateful for bananas, I am grateful for carrots, and so on until you finish all the letters.

Practice an “Act of Kindness” everyday

Look for ways you can genuinely praise your partner, your child, your colleague, your employees, the person who serves you – waitress, mail carrier, paper delivery person, police officers.

Yesterday morning, my 6-year-old
asked me if I could come early
to pick her up from her
day camp – in time to swim
with her at the pool.

Then she said, “They don’t
allow computers at the pool.”

I’ve been so busy – and to her
that means on the computer -
that I know she’s been missing
me.

So yesterday morning we had
breakfast together out on our
porch enjoying the view of the
valley. Enjoying the cooler
weather.

It was just the two of us,
no one else. And no computer.

I have to admit I had tears
in my eyes, wondering why I
wasn’t doing this more often.

And I was reminded of why
I am doing this business in
the first place.

I realized I was too caught up
in the mechanics and needed to
pull away.

That’s the beauty of working
for yourself, and on the internet.

You are in control.

You are in control of your own
schedule, and your own destiny.

(We had breakfast again this morning.)

Don’t let your life slip away.
Make your dreams a reality.

To Your Success,

Donna

Remember that dreams are only realized
through sacrifice. Anything worthwhile
requires sacrifice. There is no achievement,
no wealth, in “playing it safe”.

May your dreams become a reality.
