Passion For Life
The Passion Principle:
The Drive to Create Positive Outcomes
Passion is the source of inspiration and motivation. Nurturing our passion allows us to achieve our biggest goals – when it collaboratively combines with the passion of other people. But passion also has a dark side when it’s fear-based and becomes a consuming need to control.
You may be struggling with obsessive passion if you:
-
- regularly dwell on past problems
- often worry about how things will turn out in the future
- frequently feel vulnerable around other others
- become easily frustrated or angry when people don’t do what you want them to
- consistently feel resentment toward a particular person
- constantly try to correct what other people are doing wrong
You can develop more harmonious passion if you:
- learn lessons from the past that teach you what to do differently now
- picture what it will look like if your current challenge turns out well
- develop strong inner values about what is most important to you in life
- work out mutually agreeable goals with other people
- focus on taking a small step toward your goal everyday
- catch people (including yourself) doing things right
