My First Passion Test

"Close your eyes and picture your ideal life. What are you doing, who are you with? Where are you? How do you feel? Now make your list and know that this is just your first list." (The Passion Test, Janet Bray Attwood and Chris Attwood).

The hard part is separating goals from passions. Goals are things that can be achieved and passions are how you live your life. According to the book I am supposed to write down at least 10 things that would make my life ideal. When my life is ideal, I am _________________. I am not supposed to worry about the dreaded "hows," just that "what."
It's a little unnerving sharing this with all of you but this is what my blog is all about, so here goes!

When my life is ideal, I am...

1. Enjoying positive attention
2. Living in abundance
3. Inspiring others
4. Having lots of free time with Hubby
5. Going on adventures
6. Living in a house with an open concept and a fabulous kitchen with brick walls
7. Staying fit
8. Making a positive difference
9. Not working 8hrs a day, 5 days a week.
10. Having unique and fun experiences

I figured I would come up with at least 15 things that would make my life ideal. But making this list wasn't as easy as I thought it should be. It took about 40 minutes. When I read over my completed list, I was surprised to discover that I have already started creating my ideal life. Number 1,3 and 10 are the direct outcomes of this Path to Passion blog! Woah! I can't even explain the feeling that came over me. I was overwhelmed with feelings of enlightenment and joy. This is so cool!

The next step will be narrowing down my list and going deeper.

FYI - Here's my kitchen!
