I have a great passion for many things, but not so much action.  So nothing really gets done.  Take my house for example; I have a passion for squeaky clean floors.  You know, the kind that you get on your hands and knees when you scrub and rinse and wax by hand.  What I don’t have is action, so my floors get a good mopping with the sponge mop and that’s about it.  Clean but not squeaky.

I also have a passion for walking.  But with a bum hip and knee, not so much action.  We all have passion and a great caring for “something”, but few of us act on those passions.

You see, like thoughts, passion is meaningless without the wherewithal or guts to back it up with action.  Action is rolling up your sleeves and getting to work.  Action is moving your feet and getting involved in your own dreams and goals.

Too many of us allow our dreams to fall away through lack of moving off the couch and away from the TV or staying off the internet.  We fill our lives with activities, sometimes as a distraction to give ourselves an excuse for not moving toward our dreams.   We tell ourselves we don’t have time, but really what we are saying is that we are afraid to fail, so we won’t even try and our dreams stay in the back of our minds.  They become goals for tomorrow, and as we all know tomorrow NEVER arrives and fear and procrastination take over our lives.

What do you have a passion for?  All you need is the next step and then the next step will become clear.  Make the choice to move your feet and move in the direction of your passion.

’til next time.
