I am so excited!!! I have written a book!!! For as many years as I am just about old - old enough to put words together - I have been inventing stories - eventually writing the stories down. When I lived in El Salvador I had a lot more time to write - amazing how much time TV takes away from creativity. Because of that "time" I have entire folder full of poetry.
So, now as a coach I felt that it was time to put my "wisdom" and "learning" into a workbook. Suddenly, I had the "time" that I had been missing - I was engaged. The writing flowed - almost too quickly. The book was written. Now it is published. People are buying it - reading it. What a thrill!!! I loved it so much - I am ready to write another book - title and cover art - it is all in my mind.
The point is - where did I suddenly find the time? I found the time because I became passionate - engaged - action oriented over just wish or thought oriented. It was something I really wanted to do. I found joy in it.
What are you not doing because you don't have the time? If you added passion - could you find the time?
I would love to hear from you about this.
BTW, my book is "The Power of Goal Setting-Transforming Thoughts Into Action!" and I am selling it for $14.97. Could some goal setting help you find the time to live your passion? What is your passion worth? Is it worth your time?
Talk back to me.

What am I not doing because I don't have the time? That's one question that I have a TON of answers for. Cleaning, journaling, organizing my millions of digit pictures, agility training my

When you throw in the passion aspect, it adds a whole other twist. My list suddenly shrinks. I have gotten so busy with living day to day that I have lost track of that which I feel
passionate about. The only things I can think of are spending time with family and friends which I make the time for, exercising, which I recently carved out time for and traveling which I
have the time but not the money for.
This question is a great wake up call. It provided me with the chance to reflect and ponder what I'm passionate about. I'm still thinking, but if any of you has any ideas feel free to let me
in on them!
Maybe just living everyday to its fullest is your passion and it is living with passion. Maybe we put too much emphasis on "living our passion." Getting up everyday, exercising, going to
ReplyDeletework and enjoying it, playing with your children, loving your family, sleeping next to your husband - maybe that is life with living it with passion. The time will come when your children
are grown and moved onto their own lives, you won't work as much or even retire, and than you will have the time to discover new passions - bring them out of the closet, dust them off,
and find new reasons to get up each day. Judith
