Are you living a life of passion, where you are excited about every aspect of your life, or are you settling? Are you living soul out or living a life of compromise? Success, happiness, and freedom only come from living in your passion and living a life that you get to not that you have to. Make a commitment to yourself to create true prosperity; health, wealth, and powerful relationships. Choose to have it all.
Do You Have To, or Do You Get To?
You can have as big of a bank account as you want. You can have as much wealth as you could possibly dream of or imagine.
You can have a big the biggest job title, you can have the biggest business in the biggest company, you can be the most significant celebrity in the world.
But if you’re not leaning into, and exercising and demonstrating what you are passionate about every day, you’re always going to feel empty. You’re always going to feel like something’s missing.
See, there’s a difference between someone who gets to wake up every day and somebody who has to wake up every day. There’s a difference between someone who gets to serve in in a career or a business, or someone who has to go to a job or has to do something to create income. There’s a difference between someone who gets to be in a relationship or who feels like they have to be in a relationship.
Passion is really what determines if you get to or if you have to. Passion is that fire that’s burning in you for what you want in the world – for who you want to be, for what you want to have, for what you want to accomplish, for how you want to serve, for how you want to impact society, for what you want to teach people, for the problems that you want to solve.
When you allow that passion you have locked inside to come out, that’s when you’ll truly feel like you’re alive. That’s when you’ll truly feel like you’re significant. That’s when you’ll truly feel like you’re successful, happy and free.
So I want you to think about your life – from the time you wake up to the time you go to sleep every day. Are you excited? Are you on fire? Are you passionate about the life you get to live?
Are you living soul out?
Or, are you settling and compromising?
You’re either in your passion, or you’re looking to fuel it. You can’t be both. Which one are you? Are you passionate about your life, or are you just existing until you die?
