Barriers to Success - Lack of Passion - Do You Feel Like Your Life Lacks Meaning? (BTS Part 7)

Posted by Robert Wheeler

There are barriers that are seen and unseen. The Great Barrier Reef is one of the most beautiful barriers that exists today. However, if you don’t know its there, you don’t ever get to see its beauty. Its the oldest living object on the planet and well worth the trip down under to view.

The Great Barrier Reef stretches over 1600 Miles and is comprised of over 900 islands. It is the worlds largest structure comprised of living organisms. If you dive, there is NO better diving in the world, period.

Take a look at this short video that shows just a minimal view of this great expanse.

Today we will be looking at why many have a lack of passion in their life. Why can they not be excited about going to work? What do they lack in understanding that forces them to just live day to day? Is this something that can be fixed?

First, lets take a look at passion:

Passion drives the soul to action and it is the one thing that can not be stopped. Those who live with passion find themselves far and away beyond where their peers and competition are in the race for success. Think back to the first time you were truly in “love” with someone. Nothing, NOTHING got in the way of that relationship. You would move heaven and earth to be with that special someone. You focused on it day and night. You found unique ways to be together and cherished that “connection”.

What was it that drove you during that time? Many would argue that it derives from sex or some animalistic desire. The truth is we all want that connection, that energy and electricity that we feel during that romance and dating period. However, we lack the knowledge of how to bring that same passion to our lives on a daily basis.

You can create that same drive and electricity in your life. Here are some helpful ways:

#1. What would you be doing in life if you were a multi-billionaire? Think about that for a while. If money were absolutely no issue in your life, what would you be doing? Write that down!

#2. When you have free time and no commitments, what do you do with your time? Write that down.

#3. Are those two the same thing, or can they be combined?

#4. Is there a way for you to make a living NOW from the things you have written down.

#5. Can you start part time initially and then ramp it up down the road? Jim Rohn says, “Work full time on your job, work part time on your FORTUNE!” I love that quote.

To get passion back in your life you have to be doing things that interest you and turn-you-on. Start to define who and what you are and your passions by asking yourself these few critical questions.

Good luck and great passsion to you…
