“Passion is a very personal experience. When you begin to do what you love, what you are truly passionate about, your life will be irresistibly pulled in directions you can’t even begin to imagine.”
After moving back to Europe from Mexico, I realized I needed to pause, realign, and rethink the structure of my life. A mentor of mine asked if I had read The Passion Test, and suggested that if I hadn’t, it should be the first thing I do…
The Passion Test: The Effortless Path to Discovering Your Life Purpose is a book by Janet Bray Attwood and Chris Attwood, designed to help readers identify and pursue their passions to create a meaningful life. The book emphasizes that aligning one’s life with their core passions is the key to personal happiness, success, and purpose.
“The most important thing is to listen to your heart. Listen to the source of your inner wisdom and your inner knowingness, rather than to your mind.”
What I really appreciated about this workbook is that it pushes you to carve out the space to reflect on what truly matters to you and the kind of life you want to live. The process involves listing your top 10 passions—the things you want in your life—and then narrowing it down to the top 5. From there, you create actionable steps to pursue them. It’s all about channeling your energy in the right direction, knowing that what you focus on grows stronger and more present in your life.
“Often we get bogged down in the “hows”: How will I find the money? How will I find the time? How will I learn this or that skill? But as you’ll see, it’s not the “how” that is important for you to know; it´s the “what.” And helping you get clear on the “what” – what your passions truly are – is that this book is all about.”
What I have found to be very true is that “when you are clear, what you want will show up in your life, and only to the extent that you are clear” but “the opposite of this is also true: fuzzy desires give fuzzy results.”
Central to the book’s philosophy is the Law of Attraction, which suggests that by focusing on passions and setting intentions, people naturally attract opportunities and circumstances that align with their desires. The book offers both practical tools and spiritual insights and in my opinion, makes it a perfect starting point to start creating the reality you want to live. I truly hope you are able to dream BIG.
Passion is born of love.
Love is the perfection of the divine in us.
Love lives, breathes
and finds expression though us
and fills us with the fire of passion.
Fulfillment arises from love
and through love.
Let us live in love, for love´s sake.
Let us be in love
and share our love
in the service of our common destiny.
Let passion emerge from us as love,
in the service of humanity.
