What do you love to do?
What is that one thing that fires you up?

It’s that one thing that ignites a smile in your heart. It’s that something you know you were meant to do.
What’s keeping you from DOING it?
I’m a writer. Do I have a published book? No. Does most of the world know who I am or what I write about? No.
But guess what?
I’m still a writer.
Jeff Goins recently discussed this on his blog and made some great points.
Honestly, I didn’t feel like writing this blog. I’m lying in bed where I’ve pretty much been all day. It’s 10 pm and I have avoided writing all day, because I didn’t feel like it.
I was too tired. I couldn’t concentrate. I couldn’t focus long enough to figure out what I wanted to write about. I didn’t feel like it.
I did it anyway…
Why?
Because writing is my passion. Leading others to follow their dreams is my passion. Inspiring people is my passion. Letting my thoughts and feelings flow freely through the keyboard is my passion.
Are you going to let your feelings tell your passion what to do or will you take control?
Share your passion with me today and what you will do to keep that passion ignited? Comment below…

I love to write and decided I would dedicate more time and effort to perfecting the craft in the coming months. I love being able to express myself in this medium.
So excited you’re dedicating more time. You won’t regret it!
May I reply, ? Throughout my life they say that if you write with passion it is from the experiences in life. I find it to be true , some of my best writing is after something happened to me . example :
DEATH
OF A SOUL
I
was innocent when I met you , I loved you with a fire that would melt Iceland,
I never felt so close to anyone, you gave me love and hope in my heart, you
were there for me through everything we went through, I cannot explain how far
you reached my spirit, I thought I never love anyone as much as I loved
you. You built me up when I was low and
I felt so secure………………..then one day it started……….Anger grew in your eyes,
that once held only love for me, the burning sensation of tears I felt after
you slapped me against the wall, you left the room , as I sat in shock on the
bed, I still wanted to go to the movies, not a word was said. Things got a bit
better, but as soon as I was able to talk, and said what was on my mind, there
you went again, making sure I was in my place, as much as you made love to me,
your anger was the same, how then am I suppose to trust? What then Am I suppose
to do? We lost our son, we had another, we tried to help my daughter, but her
trauma was too much for our little family to with stand. All I see now is pain in
every soul, where there was once a light, now is nothing, I can’t see as a
child anymore, I would have to go far
into my mind to escape your torments, I have talked to others , they have the
compassion to hide the affairs, not you , you need to write your stuff on the
front page news, early morning addition! We are divorced now after more than
twenty years of my life you stole for nothing, you will never know about this poem because you are not
interested enough to find out , thanks for the nightmares, I will cherish them
often!

Bold question, in return I ask who else will? My Father is at point lookout, it is hard to watch him die a slow death, but I don’t look at it that way, Dementia is separating the mind from the body 1st. There is a reason God wants my father’s mind first, When I pray to ask God for understanding , this is the only time I understand my Dad, I have to be on a different ( level) in order to ( reach my Dad) I can’t explain I just pray , but then it is hard coming back to this world. My Mom who else will clean her home ? who else will make sure everything is ok? The one’s I took with me can not stay beside me it is too painful and sometimes it is too painful for me, But when I ask Jesus to carry me , then I just float thru everything , sometimes I forget and it all goes haywire, But He is there and all i have to do is ask for help. is this the answer you seek?……………..peace g
