Tucked away in my heart is a beautiful gift. It is the passion that my Creator wove within my soul. This is a tremendous gift because it means that I have been given desires and talents that are unique to me.

I have special abilities, exceptional thoughts, and precious truths. When I decide to honestly recognize my passions, I allow worldly happiness to enter my life.

There may be times when I keep my passions hidden. Occasionally, I may forget to indulge my passions or to recognize the value they bring to my life. I may even try to hide my dreams because I fear criticism from others.

But I realize it is useless to deny or hide my passions because they intertwined in my soul. When I ignore these thoughts, feelings and desires, I deny myself a chance at achieving worldly happiness.

My passions make me feel alive. By utilizing my passion, I feel complete. When I actively develop pursuits that bring me fulfillment, I am invigorated. I know that I am living my life’s purpose.

Whether I am learning a new recipe, singing a beautiful song, writing in my journal, allowing myself to experience nature, or finding new ways to bring joy into children’s lives - these pursuits make me whole.

My passion is my pathway to worldly happiness so I am always looking for new ways to incorporate my passion into my life. My Creator has given me a gift, and my gift to my Creator is to use my passion to reward others and myself.
