Passion is not a thing we look for in the external world. Just as peacefulness and sanctuary isn’t a place out there.
It is actually the chaotic and upset emotions stirring us on the inside, the emotions cursing at us to create harmony and fulfil our creative desires and guiding us to pursue peace, grace, joy and bliss.
Passion is the emotional force within that we need to converse with, listen to.
And then we try different things, experiment with things that catch our attention and interest… when we truly live, experiment, play, make, write, … when we read out of curiosity and inquisitiveness, and begin to perceive what is possible,
we give ourselves chances at being inspired, sparked, ignited…., precisely the reversal of being triggered.
Yes are we not all fucking bored? Lonely? Tired? Overly fucking excited.
Do we not think of escape. I fucking do. All that is happening inside, it has nothing to do with the external world.
It’s out of the feeling of being frustrated where i am, with what i am, helplessly taking for granted the truth I am being ignorant of. So I start to read and look around and educate myself, observe people who live abroad, who travel, who have children, who have fame, who have success, who have something to say who are doing things…..and you really listen to the stories they’re telling or not telling you and you realize it’s the same every fucking where, people are just as depressed and anxious, just as brave and creative and resilient and trying.
None of that endless exertion of effort has anything to do with possession or location. The change is happening within us, not out there, somewhere, not nowhere. If we go inward, we can go infinitely inward.
As we make space internally, our external world begins to shift and open up possibilities to us, and that’s the most promising idea we can hold on to.
