The following information is from the book, The Passion
Test, by Janet Bray Attwood and Chris Attwood. Below are some of my favorite
quotes from the book, as well as information that’s good to remember when
following your life’s purpose.
This is one of my favorite quotes from The Passion Test book.
“There are two great days in a person’s life--the day we
are born and the day we discover why.”
--William
Barclay, Scottish theologian and author, 1907-1978
“When you follow your bliss…doors will open where you
would not have thought
there would be
doors; and where there wouldn’t be doors for anyone else.” – Joseph Campbell
“When you are aligned with you deepest, most important
passions, the ups and downs of daily life won’t be able to throw you off
track.”
“When you are clear, what you want will show up in your
life, and only to the extent that you are clear.”
“Whenever you are faced with a choice, a decision, or an
opportunity, choose in favor of your passions.”
“When you are truly passionate about something you will
always have the ability to create it in your life.”
“Your life is created first in your mind and then your
world.”
“As your trust that things will work out well grows, the
speed with which you manifest your dreams will increase dramatically.”
The Passion Test
Mantra:
1.
Intention
2.
Attention
3.
No Tension
What do we mean by intention?
Intention is the conscious or unconscious choice to
create. All of us are constantly
creating the circumstances and situations in our world by virtue of the beliefs
and concepts we hold to be true.
Your results will always match your true intentions.
What do we mean by attention?
Attention is the subjective awareness directed to an
object. All of us give attention to
something in every waking moment of our
life. Life changes when the object of
your attention becomes your conscious choice. Every day you create your
experience of life from what you give your attention to.
What you put your attention on grows stronger in your
life.
What do we mean by no tension?
Creating intensions and putting your attention on them is
a simple, easy, effortless process
The seven keys to living life with passion:
1.
Commitment
2.
Clarity
3.
Attention
4.
Stay Open
5.
Integrity
6.
Persistence
7.
Follow Your Heart
Food for thought:
·
Get clear on the “what” and the “how” will begin
to appear
·
Stay open.
Let go of how you think your life should be and embrace how it is.
·
You know you are aligned with your passions when
things happen to you that others might find uncomfortable, and they don’t even
faze you because you are so driven by
the fire inside
·
Be prepared to find blessings coming to you from
situations and circumstances that may at first appear to be the opposite. Look for the blessing.
·
It takes courage to follow your own path. Surround yourself with people who support
what you are doing. Avoid people who
don’t.
·
Passion is a journey not a destination. When you love the process, the results will
take care of themselves.
·
Life is here to enjoy. The purpose of life is the expansion of
happiness.
There are only three things that hold you back from
living a passionate life:
1.
False ideas
2.
False concepts
3.
False beliefs
These are some things you might think about yourself that
are false and prevent you from living an authentic life:
·
I can’t live my passions because I have to
support my family.
·
I can’t make money from the things I’m
passionate about.
·
I don’t have the skills to be really successful
·
I’m too old.
It’s too late for me.
·
I’m too young.
I don’t have enough experience.
·
I’m too_____________(you fill in the blank) weak , afraid, tall, short, fat, skinny
·
I don’t know enough
·
I’m not outgoing enough
·
I’m not_______enough (you fill in the blank).
This is really “I’m not enough.”
