Allow your passion

When you are doing what you know you are meant to do, there’s no need to struggle. Instead of difficult or challenging or frustrating, there is simply doing.

When you are merely interested, or when you’re following someone else’s dream, anything can distract you. Yet when you’re pursuing your very own passion, nothing has the power to stop you.

True passion is not a matter of gritting your teeth and forcing yourself to take action. True passion is allowing all your words, thoughts and actions to resonate with who you most authentically are.

There’s no reason to fight against yourself. Instead, allow yourself in every moment to live out those interests, qualities, longings, ideals and purposes that you value most.

There is a reason why some things feel right and other things don’t. Pay attention to those feelings, for they tell you who you truly are.

From your own beautiful, unique spirit can flow a wealth of goodness and meaningful achievement. Feel it, know it, allow it and it will come.
