Passion Force 5: Altruism | Divine Inspiration

Altruism is defined as ‘unselfish regard for or devotion to the welfare of others’ and also ‘behavior by an animal that is not beneficial to or may be harmful to itself but that benefits others of its species’.

Altruism Divine InspirationHow does altruism become a force of passion? In the ongoing recession we have seem millions of jobs being lost. Many of these people have taken up volunteer work in social or environmental organizations. And quite a number of them have discovered that this selfless work gives them more satisfaction than their high paying job ever gave them. Their paradigm has shifted from the prosperity of the body to the prosperity of the soul.

The concept of altruistic work has often been mocked by an aggressive materialistic society. Social workers are called ‘do-gooders’ and there is always a cynical and contemptuous ring to that phrase. But after years of ruthless ladder climbing, people often cherish the ability to be themselves and help other people. Bill Gates of Microsoft built a huge empire through ruthless corporate tactics, often getting embroiled in monopolistic practice lawsuits. But after all that, he set up an equally huge foundation that disburses vast sums of money to fight disease and improve education.

Altruism is generally overruled by stronger passions geared towards material success in the early years, but as age advances, altruistic thoughts resurface and become a primary passion in most of us. This is probably because we know that great people are remembered less for the millions that they make, but rather for their service to humanity.

No volunteer or social worker ever starved. While there aren’t any millions to make in selfless service to the lesser privileged sections of humanity, the rewards of spiritual fulfillment are tremendous. The same passion that runs a corporate unit can be brought into play in running a successful Non-Governmental Organization or a Not for Profit outfit. All your skills can be well utilized in these noble ventures and you will see your passion suddenly multiply.

Passion Force 4: Faith | Divine Inspiration

One of the most powerful engines of passion is faith in an external agency. Though faith may seem to have been marginalized in today’s seemingly rational society, it still works behind the scenes in many areas.

Faith Divine InspirationReligion plays a dominant role in the lives of millions of people in the world today. Priests, nuns, monks, sadhus and mullahs are known to accomplish tremendous feats of social work and penance. Their faith in God and their religious ideals is the rocket fuel in their lives.

The term evangelical fervor come from a passion driven by a belief in God and the desire to convert other people to your way of thinking. This passion has sent explorers out to new lands, triggered numerous holy wars and changed entire demographics and cultures.

Oriental martial artists go through harsh training regimens and become lean mean human fighting machines. Their ruthless discipline arises from the strict codes of their specific martial art. Their devotion to this credo and their all consuming faith in the mentor or sensei turns their lives into passionate experiences which are not for the feeble or faint of heart.

In modern sports we see the same phenomenon displayed with players and their coaches. A dynamic coach can inspire his team to put in a passionate performance. If the players do not have faith in the coach or their fellow team mates, the team fails to coordinate and the game is lost. The faith equation between sportsman and trainer is particularly important in endurance sports like gymnastics and athletics.

A footballer may in turn be driven by his faith in his fans. A corporate executive may be passionate about his employees and shareholders. Faith, emotion and inspiration are alive and kicking in every corner of human activity.

Which external agency are you focusing on? God? Your boss? Your coach? Your community or country? Decide on what moves you and use that agency as a star to guide you and drive your passion.

Affirmation: I find love everywhere | Inspirational Quotes and Sayings

Here is an awesome affirmation for you, for today or any day:

I am very grateful for all the love in my life. I find it everywhere.

Here is an awesome affirmation for you, for today or any day:   I am very grateful for all the love in my life. I find it everywhere.

When we look for the love in every situation, with every person we are with… in any given moment, it is so amazing how it works… we start seeing it and finding it everywhere we go.  If you write this affirmation down and keep it with you, or put it up around your house somewhere that you will see it, and read it, I think you’ll be surprised at how much love you will find at every turn you make!

I am reminded of the verse from the Bible – from Corinthians 13:4-7:

4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

I remember this verse from when I was a very little girl going to church with my parents. This was always one of my favorites… and it sticks with me to this day.  I admit, it is one of the verses that left me pondering the question of why all the people didn’t understand this and live in these words. I think that I was born to share and illuminate love on this planet.  I think we were all born to share and illuminate love on this planet. I think there is no greater task for anyone to accept as their true heart’s calling.

You don’t have to be famous, you don’t have to be rich or highly educated or be in a position of influence or power to have a profound effect on the world.  Really, all you have to do is love and be loved.  There is nothing greater than that.
