Passion Is The Key To Happiness and Financial Success

Circumstances Are Usually In Control Of Our Lives

It took me many years to fully understand these words.

We get caught up in circumstances that seem to be out-of-our-hands and struggle to keep our noses above water as we swim toward anything that resembles a piece of stable, dry land.

Most people, most of the time, set a course but have no wind in their sail, gas in their tank and frequently not even a rudder. They are dam sincere about wanting change, but  have absolutely no hope of getting there. On top of that, after spinning their wheels enough times, they get discouraged, old or both. The opportunities are gone along with their vitality and motivation.

Our Occupations Trap Us

A huge part of the problem has to do with the occupation we initially choose without full comprehension. Our attitude in the beginning is that it's not important what we do; we can change later....no big deal. Besides we have to have money and it's being offered right now. I'd better take it. 

We get into this line of work and time goes by, and by. Pretty soon we're locked in. We're more experienced, making more money and starting over with something else is getting harder. This process goes on until finally we can't leave. 

This is long after we realize that we really resent our work. It takes all weekend to recover from it and return the next week. We are now trapped because like most people, we bought liabilities like cars, phones, TVs, sound systems, lawn mowers and all the other things that we thought would make working ok. 

In the end  they guarantee that resentment will turn to hatred because of  the hidden cost of losing the very thing that makes life worthwhile; happiness and passion for living.

This scenario gets played out millions of times daily throughout the world. Without realizing what happened, life has passed by.

We Have A Choice

It doesn't have to be that way. No matter where you are in life, you can gain control of your life if you truly want to. First the determination comes, then the learning, then the applying. It's simple, but needs sustained effort to accomplish.

That's what this blog is about. I want to help you unravel the true from the untrue. I would like to offer what I know to help you realize that happiness isn't just another word. It's a reality that is the birthright of every person on this planet.

Everyone Is Unique

One system doesn't fit all. Nor is there one method that everyone should use. Everyone is unique so each solution is unique. The only thing that is the same are the principles that let each person find their own happiness and success. There are really only a few principles but they are profound and life changing, seriously life changing.

You Must Be Prepared To Change

And that is the prerequisite for happiness; you must be prepared to have your life changed. There is nothing that you can buy or acquire that will change your life. You can't  preserve your present life in the way that it now exists. 

All the components that add up to unhappiness will prevent happiness. You have to be willing to give up the unhappiness. 

Humans cling to their unhappiness for a semblance of comfort. You have to let it go. I mean it; you will struggle but happiness must win. Once you do this, you are ready to begin.

Passion Is The Key To Happiness, Fulfillment and Financial Success

Passion is the natural state of humans. To experience and receive enjoyment from being alive is the way we come into this world and are taught to quickly lose. 

We must remember. We must reconnect to our memories and make them ever-present. Passion is our connection to life and to others. It's the feeling of newness and excitement that made us run and jump and laugh as kids. It's a feeling. It's a feeling. It's a feeling...Remember?

Passion As A Tool

When you have embraced passion in your life and experience it daily, you are ready to use it to create a better life for you and your family. And, hopefully, a better world.

Passion, Energy, Life is the fundamental for creativity and success. The more you have of it, the greater your success. Period.

Passion gives you energy, enhances your concentration, motivates you to sustained effort, inspires you with new creativity, helps you to plan and organize, directs your learning process, prevents a lot of wasted effort and mistakes, eliminates laziness and procrastination and teaches you how to hustle. There's probably something I've left out here.

An Inspired Life Is a Passionate Life

When you are passionate, you are creative, you don't get tired or bored. You don't notice the time go by. You are happy when you work, sorry when you have to stop and eager to get started again the next day. The work is enjoyable and the result is usually excellent.

Passionate work is inspired work. The work that was inspired in the past is the only work that has endured and been passed down to us through history. This is the stuff we pay money to look at in the museums and bother to put in our history books for our children to admire.

Money Is The Result of a Passionate  Life

When we focus on happiness we are focusing on a force of nature. Happiness causes the effects of wealth in all its forms. It's a cause.

When we are passionate, happy and competent in the work we do, we will be financially successful. Our work brings happiness to others and we receive happiness from them.

The energy of passion is outgoing, giving and loving. This opens the door for the universe to fill us back up with a constant stream of inspired, dynamic, passionate energy. 

The more we do it the more we get. I don't believe there is a limit to how passionate and inspired we can feel.

This is the simple  basis for a Happy, Fulfilling and Financially Successful Life for you and your family.

To Your Success
