Timothy Ferris author of  “The 4 Hour Work Week” believes that a lot of adults are suffering from ADD =  Adventure Deficit Disorder.  The premise being that as we grow up to adulthood and are directed to “get real” we give up on the things that turned us on for the unexamed, conventional and traditional ways of our community, culture, peers, family and media.

When we are passionate we are excited. If we are not excited we are bored. Passions come from the heart, makes you feel jucied up and is how you really want to live your life.   Passions feed your soul. Living passionately is the road to wealth, to health and a blissful life. It is about stepping into your expanding self.

You have to follow and pursue what excites your heart the most!
 JoeVitale author Zero Limits + presenter in the Movie “The Secret“

Living a Passionate life is about being very honest with yourself.
Daring to live outside the box and walk to your own drum beat.

It’s dangerous not to do what you love. The harsh truth is that if you don’t love what you’re doing you’ll lose to someone who does! 
Stewart Emery author “Success Built to Last, Creating a Life that Matters”
 
Most people don’t know what they are passion about or what gets them excited.
Some people believe they can’t have what they want.
Others believe they don’t deserve it or it would be to hard to have what they are “really” passionate about.
Many believe that they can’t afford to live their passions.
A lot of people just say they don’t have the time or energy to even think about it.

You can’t afford to “not” take the time to discover and live what gets you excited!
When you don’t pay attention to what makes you happy, feel alive and turned on you are denying your full expression of who you are and causing yourself pain and suffering. This creates health, business, relationship and spiritual problems.
Successful people who are happy, financially secure, passionate, and creative say that the finacial rewards came to them when they were doing what they were passionate about.  It is hard to stick with something through the growing pains when you are not passionate about it.

Your self esteem and confidence grows stronger when you put attention on your passions and the things that get you excited because you feel your power, creativity, and intelligence comes out and play big time. You are in a flow, or in the zone, things seem to fall in place, you meet the right person at the right time, etc.

What you put your attention on grows stronger in your life.
                                  Janet Attwood author The Passion Test

Your mind seeks and searches for the things you think the most about.
Are you living your life from thinking about “what you don’t want” or “what you do want?”
Most of us have grow up with the perspective of looking at life, ourselves and what we do with a critical eye. Which just magnifies all the negitives in our lives.
If you are thinking about what you don’t want in your life, all that you don’t want is what is showing up.
Most of us do this unconsciously and habitually.

We live in a belief driven universe. 
That means you are only limited by your beliefs.
The problem is when most of your beliefs are unconscious you are not directing your life in the direction you want. 
You are hard wired to beliefs that you have developed growing up and are not aware of what those beliefs are and how they apply to you today.

Do you know that the majority of the things you think about yourself today, unless you have done lots of work on yourself, is a lie!
Your beliefs are formed at a young age by association with your family, religion, peers, society, culture, advertising, etc… Your surroundings that you were trying to fit into, feel secure and loved in.
And most of those beliefs that you formed at a very young age you are still applying as an adult today.
They don’t serve or benefit you now like they did when you were a child.
You just unconsciously make decisions or react from that perspective and wonder why you can’t make your life different.
You need to change your beliefs, thinking, and actions.
You can’t solve a problem from the same perspective that you created the problem.

Stop being bored get excited about your life!
These unconscious beliefs keep you from creating new experiences in your life.

1)I am daring you to think consciously about “what you want” in your life instead of “what you don’t want”.
Train your mind to seek and search wanted experiences, things, and adventures. 
Be proactive. Know what you want and go for it.
Questions your beliefs and actions that are not benefiting you; whose belief is it?

2) Find out what your top 5 passions are.
You can only live a passionate life as long as you are clear about what you want and believe you can have it. Take the Passion Test. Think Big and Bold. These are your passions no one else’s.

3) Commit to making choices that support your passions for 1 month
It takes 26-32 days to break a habit (unconscious belief). You have to be persistent and consistent. Stop one day and you need to start over.
Work on your beliefs that aren’t congruent with your ability to absolutely achieve your passions.
4) Find and spend time with other people who are living their passions. Spend less time with people who are victims or who are unsupportive of you living your life fully. These are two very different energies and different ways of seeing the world. Surround yourself with the highest support you can gather around you.

5)Take action with the things that show up in your life.
Be the person you are desiring to be. If you can think it you can be it! Get ready to receive; work on beliefs that would keep you from accepting what it is you want.
Pay attention to what shows up in your day and follow up those possibilities and opportunities. You don’t have to know how things will show up, you just have to know what you want, belief you can have it, allow the process to unfold and be ready to take action where needed.

Let us know what happens and ask for help if you need it.
Share your journey with us.

Dare to be the brilliant YOU.
