"The Passion Test," is a book that my sister gave me almost a year ago. It is by Janet Bray Attwood and Chris Attwood. I'm not going to lie, I read a quarter of it and then got sidetracked. It's not that I wasn't enjoying it, it was just one of those times where I wasn't getting into it. Once I leave a book for more than a week I find it difficult to dive into it again. Today I started reading it again for my Path to Passion project. The book itself is a tool to discovering your passion.
I wanted to share a few lines from the second chapter that I think is a good depiction of the book:
Passion is a very personal experience. When you begin to do what you love, what you are truly passionate about, your life will be irresistibly pulled in directions you can't even begin to imagine...
...Often we get bogged down in the "hows: How will I find the money? How will I find the time? How will I learn this or that skill? But as you'll see, it's not the "how" that is important for you to know; it's the "what." And helping you get clear on the "what"-what your passions truly are-is what this book is all about.
All those "hows" I've asked myself a thousand times, even though I know not to do that! (If you've ever read the book "The Secret" then you know that you are supposed to expect that what you want in life will become reality and so it will.) However, it's very difficult to try and keep the whole money and time factor out of the picture! I also feel like I should have my whole life together or at least steadily on it's way by now. People keep reminding me that I am only 24 but I am eager to know exactly what I'm supposed to be doing in life. If I took my own advice, I would know that THIS is what I'm supposed to be doing! Everything happens for a reason (so cliche, I know), and I am supposed to be doing this blog! It's amazing, some of the revelations I have in the time it takes to write a blog post!
Until next time friends!
PS: Only 3 more days until I try the Aerial Silk class! I am so excited!
