They thought they would never grow up, but they did. They thought they would change the world and they did.<\/span><\/p>\nThe previous generation looked for the American Dream. Some found it. Many did not. The present generation seems to be seeking success. <\/span><\/p>\nYet, the gap between the “haves” and the “have nots” widens. Each generation and each individual, in turn, searches for something, but it often slips from their grasp. <\/span><\/p>\nThe Fire Carries Both Energy and Discomfort<\/span><\/h1>\nThe key is to use the discomfort as a motivator and the energy as fuel.<\/span><\/p>\nRedfield in the “Celestine Prophecy” talks of the need for a historical perspective. The first man or woman met his\/her physical needs.<\/span><\/p>\nThen he or she explored and conquered the world and put it to their collective service. Now we seek something and we don’t seem to know what it is.<\/span><\/p>\nWhen we are connected to our roots and our souls, passion rises quickly and pushes us the next level of life or learning or love. It does not have to be love of a mate. <\/span><\/p>\nIt could be creative passion, fueling what we do for ourselves, work, community, or family. Anything where the totality of who you are is absorbed in the doing, requires passion. To loose it, is soul death, or at least deep sleep. It will cry to be heard when it sleeps.<\/span><\/p>\nThe Fear of Expanding <\/span><\/h1>\nI’ve sometimes been afraid of my passion. It seems so fierce at times. I guess I fear it will consume me and nothing else will matter. I know that can happen. <\/span><\/p>\nI’ve had a small taste of it when I work for hours into the night, so absorbed by my work that I forget time, sleeping, and eating. But, I also know that I must have time in my life to live the everyday life of doing the mundane things that must be done. <\/span><\/p>\nBalance is probably still the key, but you must not\u00a0lose<\/span>\u00a0your passion all together. Your life will be\u00a0too dry and dull without it.<\/span><\/p>\nRemember your first love?<\/span><\/h1>\nThere Was A Time When You Let Your Passions For Living Show Without Fear or Reservation.<\/span>\u00a0Nothing else mattered.\u00a0<\/span>You felt as if you would walk to the ends of the earth for that love. Remember that?<\/span><\/p>\n
