The Passion Tests

Jan 19

Father, thank U. I have awaken by putting attention to my Passion and RA has reduced to minimal.

Passion Test
A list of the things that are most deeply important to her, what she will be, do or have when her life is ideal.

Soul
Will do the Passion Test again.

The Passion Test
Dr Andrew Newberg and Mark Waldman, the neuroscientist for Spirituality and the Mind had this to say about thinking big;

When we focus on the big questions, the really big questions, we r challenging our brains to think outside the box, and this causes the structure of our neurons to change, particularly in our frontal lobes, that part of the brain that controls logic, reason, language, consciousness, and compassion. New axoms grow, reaching out to new dendrites to communicate in ways that our brains have never done before. When contemplating the big questions, we use our frontal lobes to alter the function of other parts of our brain.

Soul
Like Sadhguru says by nature we r meant to expand. But out of fear of suffering, we opt out for mediocrity.

The Passion Test
Once ur intention is clear, attention is the next step. If u think ur passion is becoming a multimillionaire and u don't have any inclination to put ur attention on making money and creating wealth, then ur mind is playing games with u. It is telling u this is ur passion when in fact it just wants to be safe from bills, responsibilities and discomfort. Such mind games never lead to fulfillment.

Soul
I know my passion as Transformation Leader is real but I haven't put attention cos uncertainty about outcome, not sure if can pay the price.

The Passion Test
Passions arise from the heart. When u r truly passionate about something, u don't have to try hard to put attention on it. When challenges arise, they can't deter u. They may slow u down for a little while, but they can't stop u.

It doesn't pay to play it safe.
So, it is important to think of ur ideal life, not ur possible life.

When u r clear, what u want will show up in ur life, and only to the extent that u r clear.

So, fuzzy desires gives fuzzy results.

Guidelines
List of ur passions; ie. those things that u love most, are most important to u and are most critical to ur happiness and well-being.
Think of what u will do, be and have when ur life is ideal
Passions are how u live ur life. Goals are things u choose to create in life.
Passions are about process and Goals are about outcomes.
When ur passions are clear, u can create goals that are aligned with ur passions and begin to create the life u choose to live.
