For those of you that remember the movie "Love Story" (1970) you most likely equate the meaning of the word "passion" with ‘love'. "Love means never having to say you're sorry" is one line that permeated throughout the movie and continued on after her death regarding his relationship with his father.
Now that I'm a ‘little' older the meaning for passion takes on a whole different meaning and it surpasses the joy, infatuation and happiness one feels when in a wonderful relationship. It goes beyond that first love for someone or something as if in blissful harmony through a ‘courtship' phase.
The motivation and determination becomes a driving force and therefore becomes my passion in a deeper sense of the word.
- The passion and intense desire to be the best person I can be....therefore, leaving a grand legacy behind. What do I want to be remembered for? My laughter and kind heart, my healthy relationship with myself and setting healthy boundaries, overcoming obstacles and continuing on with life, accepting others for who they are...not who they are not, caring for others and having empathy for their problems...but not enabling them to continue on a path of destruction, love myself so I can
love others. The list goes on but I'm sure you get the jest. This is also for me, my family, my children. - The passion to work hard on my relationship with my husband Gary. It passes the infatuation phase and becomes a relationship and bond that takes hard work and effort to keep alive. Communication is key to a successful marriage (or relationship) and if the communication fades..so will the marriage. We discuss (sometimes argue...so we can make up lol) every aspect of our marriage. Financial, careers, intimacy, family and everyday needs and wants. We do say we're sorry though. Leaving things unsaid and going to bed upset is something we just do not do. And have fun ...together!
- The passion to be one of the best in my Real Estate career. During the course of my life I ‘picked' jobs where I could save the world. (codependent) A Family Law Attorney's office and a Structured Supportive Living Skills program. It drained me (literally) and lo and behold! I realized that you can't help people who DON'T WANT to be helped. Now I help people that want to be helped and the caring that goes into each and every transaction is surely the key to my success.
- The passion for writing locally about my home.....Hawaii. I am driven with my love for the Hawaiian Islands. I have strayed afar to many lands only to return to the tropical paradise that I will experience daily from the time I awake every morn to fluttering my eyelids to succumb to deep sleep every night. Passion for life in a place I love....my home.
Passion is my intense desire to live my life with good morals, beliefs and values and the determination, consistency and effort to work hard on me from the inside to the outside. Everything else WILL follow. That's a given.
You cannot love if you do not love your .....‘self'.
Hint: I know I'm living my life well when I drop off to a peaceful sleep every night after evaluating my day.
