It’s the greatest feeling in the world to find something we’re passionate about, and it’s even more splendid to share it with the world.  But often times, we may  find ourselves showing our passions to others, not for the sake of happiness, but for the thirst of attention.  And unfortunately, we end up losing sight of the desire that fulfills us.

The deepest passions grow not soley from the souls around you, but from the soul within you.

Do things out of love, not to be loved. 

2012 was definitely what I hoped it would be: a year of Embracement and Prosperity.  I really am proud of how I have grown spiritually and mentally (not so much physically…lol).  I am pleased with what I have accomplished this year.   I feel blessed to have even stronger relationships with friends and family, despite having some relationships fall apart. 

I will definitely continue my motto of Embracement and Prosperity throughout life.  However, I also want to welcome 2013 with another motto: 

Live Passionately and Inspire. 

Again, two simple words with so much meaning. 

1. Passion: 

To have passion is to have an intense desire and compelling emotion for something.   Within each of us is a soul that motivates us to push our potential beyond its boundaries and achieve the extraordinary.  What we discover deep inside us will guide us to our pursuit of fulfillment.  That is Passion.  Passion is what we love to do, what we are proud of, and who we are as a person.  We find passion in the things we do, as well as the people in our lives who we love and value so much.  Passion is both doing things for the love of yourself, and sharing your desires for the love of others. 

2. Inspiration: 

To inspire is to fill one with the urge or ability to do or feel something.  It’s one thing to discover the desires that fulfill us.  It’s an even greater and more fulfilling thing to share your passions with the world.   Every day, we are blessed with opportunities to learn something new, meet new people, and grow as a person.  It is up to us to recognize these opportunities, actively pursue them, and seize them.   We can use our passions, our experiences, and what we’ve learned to change the world.  We have the potential to raise the spirits of others and encourage attainability in others.  We have the power to inspire. 

With passion and inspiration, we can discover our true potential and proudly share it with others to change our world for the better.  We can use our inner soul to do things out of love and appreciation, for ourselves and for others. 

May 2013 be a year of Passion and Inspiration.
