“How to Awaken Your Work Passion”

“A True Story”

A man called me yesterday while I was walking. He was out of work and living with his parents and wanted some advice. He wanted to know what he should be doing for a living. And I said:

First of all, there will always be ups and downs no matter what we do. But more people are finding their true love in work and putting their heart and soul into what they do. Be it making silverware by hand, or doing counseling, or being a farmer, all of these jobs require one particular thing— PASSION.

Do Something You Love

More people are doing something in life that they hate just for money. And at the end of their life, they feel used up and thrown away. But those who are full of passion for their work are full of life. They see what they need to do and go out and make it happen. Not for the sake of money… but for the betterment of mankind. Even if one is a food vendor on the roadside… if they love what they do and enjoy their work… what more could one ask for?

Of course, one needs to have some money to get by on.

But, take for instance a great friend of mine (Mabel Lassalle) who has always wanted to help children. She used to sell cosmetics, sell jewelry, and much more. Then she decided to take a few courses in helping people to find inner peace… and something opened up. Her passion awakened, and she started in a small way helping children in schools… teaching them about compassion and love.

These children live in the slums and many of them have never heard the word “love” or even been hugged. Many of them are emotionally challenged because the people around them are into drugs, and many of them have died because of gang-related problems. This is not an easy process, but my friend marches forward. But now she’s finally receiving some really great grants to help children in powerful ways. It just takes perseverance!

God Speaks to Us

God speaks to us all the time, all we have to do is listen to what that still small voice is saying. In fact, my friend knew that her mission in life was to help children because she heard the voice of God telling her about her mission. And sometimes that voice is just a feeling, an understanding, or a happiness that brings a smile to your face because you are doing what makes you smile.

Then I told this young man to take a FREE Vipassana Meditation Retreat because he needs to get in touch with his passion… and he needs to get in touch with the still small voice of God within. And many people who take this retreat find their passion. And I told this young man… “I don’t have your answers… YOU DO!”.

And so he signed up for the next 10 day Vipassana Meditation Retreat.

I know for sure he will awaken to his passion.

Many Blessings to Everyone!
