Also, failed to mention that I believe that if we don’t use our gifts and talents in alignment with our purpose, we will feel disconnected and ultimately, unfulfilled. On the other hand real joy is possible when we use our talents in alignment with our purpose…and of course, passion comes along with the deal.

I know this is an older post, but I just stumbled upon it and had to comment. Yes! Finding meaning, purpose and passion, is the greatest of human endeavors. My life is dedicated to helping others learn how to hear their Calling (aka purpose/mission) and to pursue that purpose wholeheartedly. It’s not a 20 minute deal, but a lifelong journey, but one that well worth taking. Thank you for this inspiring post and Carpe Diem!

Love the post! I am constantly looking for material on topics like this that are about inspiring the soul. Two books that are worth a look, and which you may have come across at some point, are Way of the Peaceful Warrior by Dan Millman (a movie was recently released but did it no justice) and The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho. They both have an uncanny ability to get the mind wandering and dreaming and many of my best thoughts have come from reading over parts of these books. Hope it helps.

Brad,

I believe you are right on. The problem is that people simply don’t listen to their soul. We’re so busy living the life that others have set for us that we forget that we were born with a purpose. Without even realizing it, we have forfeited our purpose. That purpose and ultimate direction for our life can only be revealed through the creator of our soul. People who are passionate don’t need to fan the flame, they are the igniter of their own flame. They simply do because they were born to do it. Realizing your purpose and understanding your purpose are two different things. Ultimately, understanding your purpose gives you the authority to move forward without any reservations as to what you are seeking to accomplish.

Brad, For some, finding a passion is an illusive venture. In those cases I say just start, go in a direction, any direction, and see what holds your interest. Then, to keep an interest going, you must make a decision to be passionate, and then fan the flame. Keeping a passion isn’t always an easy thing. You’ve got to nurture your soul, ask your heart, and take lots of breaks from the pursuit so you can check back in and realign with your loves in life. I’m always happy to discuss these topics…:)

Hi Brad,

Thanks for this! I like it, but its perhaps too poetic for pragmatic people

A website I’ve come across that is about passion is http://www.theonequestion.com – worth a look
