Appreciation #5 - PASSION!

I love being passionate! Things that I care about usually impact me emotionally and I love that I can take my passion for things and turn it into the energy that is needed to create change - change that makes improvements and brings me and those around me into a better space. I love that I laugh and cry and feel the way I do - and while at times I wish I could do a better job of hiding my emotion - I acknowledge that this passion that I have - the emotion that I show - this is ME. It is a part of who I am and I love that.

Holding on.

“There ain't no way you can hold onto something that wants to go, you understand? You can only love what you got while you got it.” ― Kate DiCamillo , Because of Winn-Dixie

Go lightly

"It's dark because you are trying too hard. Lightly child, lightly. Learn to do everything lightly. Yes, feel lightly even though you're feeling deeply. Just lightly let things happen and lightly cope with them. I was so preposterously serious in those days, such a humorless little prig. Lightly, lightly – it's the best advice ever given me... So throw away your baggage and go forward. There are quicksands all about you, sucking at your feet, trying to suck you down into fear and self-pity and despair. That’s why you must walk so lightly."

The truth

  “We tell ourselves we don't speak the truth because we don't want to hurt others, but it's far more likely that we don't want to bear the consequences of our choices. We tell a white lie to a friend that we're "busy" the night they ask us to do something when we don't feel like going. We don't tell our partner we're mentally and emotionally checked out of our marriage, not because it will hurt them, but because of the consequences of this choice. We don't flag the problem at work because we'll be tasked with the solution. The stories we tell aren't protecting others. They're protecting ourselves. ” -Shane Parrish
