    Passion: What it is and How to gain it!

    (((💗Be kind and hit ‘like!’💗))) *👊🏽* Daily Motivation *👊🏽* “What everyone forgets is that passion is not merely a heightened sensual fusion but a way of life which produces, as in the mystics, an ecstatic awareness of the whole of life.” -Anáis Nin *****From my memoir***** Passion is, indeed, a way of life. It’s my way of life. A woman approached me when I was panting and out of breath after a leg day super set. She admitted that at first she was intimidated to do so, but that she felt compelled to convey her thoughts. She shared that she had been watching me workout for some time and that what impressed her most is my fearlessness at others’ opinions. As we stood in front of the mirror I pointed at my own reflection as I spoke: “I am accountable to that person. I wake up to her and I can’t run to any place where she won’t find me. I owe it to her to give it my all! Opinions don’t burn calories and disdain won’t build muscle. I do this because I owe it to myself and to no one else.” She turned to me and said that those words were exactly what she needed to hear in that moment. I thanked her; she thanked me. I felt a great sense of gratitude for her and her willingness to share her story with me. I felt humbled. I felt grateful to be alive and to have had that moment. Passion is born of clarity. I see things for what they truly mean to me. There is bliss and beauty in the most minute details of life; in the things that mean something to me. People become a gift. The time, space and probability necessary to produce a single encounter with another person is humbling. I make it a point to recognize the imperceptible threads that connect the whole. It is the fount from which I draw to nourish passion as a way of life. Passion, for me, is living awake. Listen to my podcast 🎙 for more on today’s episode! 😊🤗💗

    Fall in Love with yourself

    (((💗Be kind and hit ‘like!’💗))) *👊🏽* Daily Motivation *👊🏽* “Life is a balance between what we can control and what we cannot. I am learning to live between effort and surrender.” -Danielle Orner “I am only one, but I am one. I cannot do everything, but I can do something. And I will not let what I cannot do interfere with what I can do.” -Edward Everett Hale ***From my memoir*** “When life doesn’t add up, when circumstances are out of my control, I begin to look inward for the answers. I steady my focus on the eye of the storm. The raging winds that surround me may momentarily limit the freedom to do as my heart wishes; to do what I want to do. Those moments are tough, but I allow them into existence just long enough to catch my breath. But, look out! The very next breath that fills my lungs is deliberate and becomes a rally cry to action. What follows is the formidable consolidation of mind, body, and will to tackle all that is within my power to effect. I shift into doing what I CAN do. Over the past few weeks I have strategically subtracted the nonessentials. The issue outside of my control is saturated in muddled complexity. My response? Greater simplicity. Doing what I can do has allowed me to silence the noise and turn up the peace within me. The tempest will not yield to contentment. Nevertheless, my peace does not require permission from the thrashing. Peace is afforded through the realization that I possess all that I need. The purchase price for my sanity is the simplicity of looking around and seeing the beauty, the love and the heart in all that surrounds me. Gratitude: that is the power I wield. I am powered by a grateful heart and fueled by devotion to something greater than myself. ‘Come at me bro!’”🤺 -Written by Daiana
