Passion

Susie Switzer:
There would be no passion in this world if we never had to fight for what we love.

Passion drives us is anything and everything we do. If we do not have a passion for it, then we do not have a drive for it. If we have no drive then we are probably not going to be succesful. Like right now, I am lacking the passion to write this blog, I mean its late, I'm kinda tired, and the television is on, but It's been awhile since my last post and I like to look at my new blog picture cause' its, oh how do the kids say it? Bangin?...yea...
Okay so passion....It can be involved in almost any aspect in your life. Relationships, sports, hobbies, jobs, careers, whatever you can think of. I'm passionate about dirtbiking...heck at this very moment I am itching to go ride, but sadly its pitch black outside, its crazy muddy, and sadly my neighboors do not feel the same way about dirtbiking as I do. I mean dirtbiking rocks, how is it that a loud motorcycle would bother the neighboors in the middle of the night? I mean call me crazy but....okay just call me crazy. But whatever your passionate about...keep it up, let your passion drive you, let it comfort you.
One of my favorite examples of passion is the Passion of Jesus Christ. The passion that Jesus had was incredible. The passion is what Christ went through, all of the torture and beatings. So whatever you are passionate it, keep on keepin on. Success and good things will come out of it.

Fear

Don Miguel Ruiz:
Death is not the biggest fear we have; our biggest fear is taking the risk to be alive -- the risk to be alive and express what we really are.


I think fear is kinda funny, it's like a game that our minds play with us...sometimes with good reason though. If I am afraid to jump off of a cliff without a parachute and anything to save me (basically jumping to my death) then I have good reason to be afraid...my life is at stake! Now here is a silly mind trick that is probably caused by some movie that we saw...we have all done this and probably still do this...we walk into a bathroom and there is a shower in it and we of course have to check behind the curtain to make sure that no psycho is in there about to kill us while we are innocently going to the bathroom. Yes I have done that, heck I did it at my sisters apartment this weekend...I mean that shower curtain looked suspicious...it could have been hiding someone so I had to check...it was for the greater good.

Well the way I see it, fear keeps us alive! Fear keeps us from doing stupid stuff that would kill us while at the same time if we can feel fear then we know that we are alive...there is nothing like the feeling that comes with conquering your fears and doing somethin awesome! Fear is yours to conquer, life is yours for the taking....so what are you waiting for?
