Move from smart to heart

Growing up I was blessed to have a Mom and Dad that loved me very much! They worked very hard to make sure we had an amazing childhood. My dad worked very hard to give us more than most could ever dream of. The only sad thing about all this success is that my Dad paid the greatest price. He was unable to enjoy most of our childhoods with us because he worked so many hours in order to bless all of us. As I became an adult this left a strong and passionate impression on me. I decided that I would do whatever I could to bless my kids with the same life but add to it he element of my involvement. I feel really bad that my Dad had to miss so much. He truly paid a great price but due to the work ethic that he embedded in me I was able to retire and be a full-time parent by the time of the birth of our first child.

I would like to ask you to go deep for a minute and ask yourself what you are truly passionate about! What stirs you deep enough that you would be willing to overcome the frustrations of making it happen. It is going to be up to your heart if you are going to make your dreams come true. Unfortunately this requires you to risk greatly. If you want to love deeply you have to risk greatly! When you deeply love someone or something you set free intense emotions that super charge your abilities. Your creative energies will explode and your endurance will push to a level reserved for super humans.

What has touched your soul? I have found that what you do is only half of the equation, who you do it with is the other part. Surround yourself with people you love. Do what you love, with people you love, for people you love who in return love you for who you are. If you are not in love with your dream it is very unlikely that you will ever see it come to be.

There was a time in my life that I guarded all of my emotions. I was afraid to truly let go for the fear of losing control or being deeply hurt. The sad reality is that without passion there will be very little purposeful action. The world often tries to steal of us our passions but we must resist this force. Hurting people hurt people! Remember this the next time someone hurts you. Answer with love and commit to stopping the cycle of revenge. Move from smart to heart and love everyone no matter what. Peace is our key. Love is the answer.
