Passion is a term with many different meanings depending on the context - from steamy sheets to a spring in our step, it covers the gamut. In its pure sense, passion moves one forward and keeps things interesting as we spin at hundreds of miles of hour through space, giving us energy and driving us forward on our life's ride.

Passion for life and the ability to see the abounding greatness that surrounds us at every turn, is perhaps the greatest passion of all. When you think about it, every single day can hold infinite possibilities and each new day grants us many reasons to be passionate if we allow ourselves to be receptive. When we start a new day, we should be thankful that we have been afforded more time for accomplishment.

Whatever a person's status, there is always room for improvement and the chance to become better; each day being a new page to allow one to rewrite their story. In the end, we are accountable for our days and how we use them. As the steady beat of time moves us through life hyper-speed, it is easy for hours to merge as a dull blur if one is not managing the content of them very carefully. Or conversely, each day can be rich and free-standing as mini accomplishments of our own masterful design.

When one chooses to be passionate about life and see that great changes can occur in a very short time if good energy is properly channeled, life really moves to a different level and becomes magical. When everything is flowing and one is confident and following the principles of karma, self-actualization occurs and unimagined levels can be reached - good energy always finding its way to good energy. These concepts are not difficult and are a natural a part of the order of the universe. Karma is self-fulfilling.

As one journeys through life, one must continually remember that they are the masters of their fate; the writers of their history. Whatever one's station in life is, it was by a series of personal choices that moved them forward to it. If we should fly, we must gather the strength to pull ourselves through the wind and have the courage to soar high - our course beintg limited or as far-reaching as we decide.

The ability to rediscover passion for life is always there within us and waiting. One just simply needs to look at the ocean or the depth of the stars above. Or look into the eyes of a young child which always contain visible white sparkles of happiness and realize that we are part of something greater -a buzzing energy stream that can never cease to exist, which is all held as a small bundle within the palm of God.

To find life's passion, one simply needs to open their eyes. Seeing with the heart is the hard part.
