The potency of passion

Worry is really hard to deal with. It’s easy to talk about, and it’s really easy to tell other people all the stuff they should do to stop worrying, but at the end of the day I find myself worrying. Two nights ago, for instance, I lay awake till 3 am worrying. Not a brilliantly shining admission from a New Age neophyte who has recently discovered the secrets of life the universe and everything, but an observable fact.

Money. That’s what I was and still am worrying about.

Personal tax bills are due. Cashflow in my business, and the overdraft. And the kids are getting bigger, the house is getting smaller. I worry about not having enough money.

There. I said it. I worry about not having enough money. Not for me, but for my family.

So where to from here?

Well … I’ve been thinking about passion. Yes, yes … I know that doesn’t seem to have a lot to do with money, but just hear me out. Sometimes I find myself not really wanting to go to work, thinking about a change, all that usual stuff. Lately I’ve caught hold of the idea of asking myself what are the things I am really passionate about. Not the things I think I should be passionate about, nor the things other people say I should be passionate about. But inside me, what am I passionate about. My reckoning is that if I move towards doing the things that I am most naturally passionate about, I will naturally draw the most success to myself, and in doing so will either also attract enough money, or - more likely - realise that I’ve actually already got enough as it is.

Ideas … just ideas. Thanks for listening.
