Passion at Home | Inspired Action

Getting passionate about your career and blazing a glorious path at the office is great. But don’t let your loved ones suffer from a lack of passion at home. A proper balance has to be struck by giving love to your spouse and children too.

Passion at Home Inspired ActionA passionate lifelong affair with your wife or husband can do wonders in your work life too. You are happy and relaxed and your body glows with the healing effects of healthy loving sex. The love you shower on your children is also reciprocated many times over.

A man is truly respected if he excels in all his roles – as a worker, a son, a husband and a father (and even a grandfather) and a community member. Devote time and passion to all these roles. When you have genuinely mastered the art of passion, you will find that it pervades every minute of your day, be it in the boardroom or bedroom or playroom.

Passion can become a double-edged sword if not wielded properly. Spending hours and hours of obsessed extra time at the workplace can affect your health as well as your family relations. Neglecting to attend your son’s school events and not cheering him at his football match can create an alienation that can never be repaired. An unfulfilled spouse can also prove very damaging in the long run. A marriage can fall apart and a string of unhappy one night stands can never take the place of a loving caring relationship.

Passion is not about throwing huge family parties where everyone can feed on your wealth. It isn’t about giving a no-limit credit card to your wife or the latest bike to your son. It is spending time and effort to share your life and soul with your loved ones. Passion lies in transmitting your passion for life to your children, your wife and all around you.

The Child Must Know He is a Miracle | Inspirational Quotes and Sayings.

I absolutely think this is one of the very best inspirational quotes!  I picked this one up so many years ago… and I believe it has informed my parenting as well as my whole philosophy around raising children.  It was also always in the back of mind when I was teaching and advocating for children with special needs and their families.

Inspirational quotes and sayings The Child Must Know He is a Miracle

The child must know that he is a miracle, that since the beginning of the world there hasn’t been, and until the end of the world there will not be, another child like him.” – Pablo Casals

I have spent a good deal of my adult life raising children.  I have some incredible kids that I have have had a hand in raising.  I also gave birth to one pretty amazing kid… TWENTY years ago!  My son is 20 today.  It is really hard for me to believe!  It really does seem to be just yesterday when he wasn’t sleeping through the night… when he was toddling around… when he went to school for the first time… when he learned to read… when he started dating… when he graduated from high school… When he moved into his own apartment.

I have spent the last twenty years incredibly happy, sad, worried, delighted, excited, anxious, scared, completely full of joy… and totally in love.

These days, I spend time missing my son… I don’t get to see him as often as I would like… he’s got his own life… a job, a girlfriend… stuff to do.  And soon, he’ll be moving much farther away than he is now.  When that happens, I think I’ll truly know the sadness of the “empty nest syndrome!”  But, it’s okay.  He’s doing what he is supposed to do… growing up.

When my boys were little, I used to be so scared when they would climb on things… playground equipment, rocks, etc… I knew that they had to do those things – they had to do these things as a part of their developmental process.  So, I used to turn around.  I couldn’t watch!  I was still right there, but I just couldn’t watch – or I probably would have stopped them from doing those things.  Now… my son is getting ready to move out of state… and basically, I just can’t watch!  I know he needs to do these things, and I know he’ll be just fine… but if I watch, I might try to stop him… and I know that would be a mistake.

Anyway… I love this inspirational quote because it says something so important.  Our children ARE miracles.  We MUST do whatever we can to make sure that they know this too!  My son is becoming a wonderful adult… and I’m so proud of him.  I hope I have done a good job of letting him know that… and making sure he knows what a miracle he really is –  Happy Birthday to my miracle!  I hope he knows that since the beginning of the world there hasn’t been, and until the end of the world there will not be, another child like him.

Inspired Action | If Love Hurts You are Doing it Wrong

I remember seeing that t-shirt when I was about 11 years old and thinking it was funny but not entirely grasping why. Love is one of the most twisted, misunderstood, and misdirected emotions. I feel this is due to what so many see is Love’s direct correlation to power over others. As humans throughout our evolution anything that can provide power over others has been twisted and exploited.If Love Hurts You are Doing it Wrong

So what gives something power over others? It requires two things: It must be powerful and it must be in limited supply. Love is by its very nature powerful. This is just what is. It is how the Universe is made. It is a constant. The part about limited supply is within the control of each of us. It is the easily controlled variable in the equation. Could it be possible to have a shortage of oil in the world if every single person had their own unlimited oil well and refinery? Sure, we would just have to decide that our own unlimited supply of oil was not enough for ourselves so we should barely use it and then be very stingy in how we share it with others. See, and you didn’t think it was possible! We each have an unlimited supply of love within ourselves. We are often very stingy in sharing it with others and even more often when sharing it with ourselves. Like much of human behavior when we examine it from a higher, zoomed out, perspective our ridiculousness is exposed.

What happens when we keep our unlimited supply of love contained, bottled up within ourselves? Like Love, helium is extremely light, lighter than air even. Kids love helium balloons for that very reason. It is like magic. They float on air! Every mom or dad who has tried to drive home from the neighborhood family restaurant with those things floating around the back seat hitting them in the back of the head and obstructing their view out the rear window knows this. Restaurants store their helium in those big green pressurized tanks. The magic does not happen until they let it out in a balloon. How happy would those kids be if they each got a 200 lb big green tank that they couldn’t open? Not to mention the parents with it in their back seats. You thought it was annoying when the balloons hit you in the back of the head!

Love is much the same way. When we contain it within ourselves it is not light and beautiful. It is heavy and burdensome. It restricts us and shuts us down in so many ways. So why do we do it? Power! We think it gives us power. Everybody wants love from ourselves and from everyone around us. When we withhold it we have something everybody wants including ourselves!

A favorite exercise I do with groups is to have them look back on an incident that happened very early on in life, usually around four or five years old. This should be an event that has a clear memory and strong emotions attached to it. Once people identify the event the next step is to look back and see what they decided about themselves at that moment. It is usually something along the lines of: I’m a bad person, people can’t be trusted, people abandon me, I deserve second best, and so on. Then we ask, if a four or five year old walked up to you now and told you one of these negative ideas about yourself how serious would you take them?   Probably not very much, they don’t have the life experience to know the difference yet. However, we were only four or five when we made these judgments about ourselves then spent years of our lives living into this belief. It was ingrained within ourselves and we never took the time to reexamine the lack of truth in this statement and reframe our belief about ourselves. It can be a powerful experience when we realize we are still holding onto an insult a four year old gave us, even if it was ourselves.

This also happens regularly in the collective human consciousness. False ideas of how things are find their way into the collective conscious and we accept them as truths without examining how ludicrous they are. Love is a perfect example of this. When we withhold love, who are we really taking power from? We engage in a power struggle with the world. We act as if love is a commodity that should only be spent frugally. If we all have unlimited supply of it why be frugal with it? We have tricked ourselves into a trap. We engage in a game that limits every participant. The idea that love is only to be given to those we deem worthy is a false idea. When we give love unconditionally to everyone including ourselves we all become worthy. When we withhold love it becomes heavy, a burden to carry around, weight on our chest holding us down.

Next time you interact with someone who annoys you feel in your body what you are doing to yourself. You tighten your chest and shoulders. You think negative, low energy thoughts. You take yourself to a place you don’t want to be. Yes, you do this to yourself. It is not about the other person. Why do you suppose this person finds the need to try to annoy others? The answer is always the same. They want love. So, please for all of our sakes, give them love. Give everyone love. Give yourself love.

This does not mean we should by any means take on other people’s dramas. We can send love without engaging in drama traps. In fact your love will assist people in releasing the need to engage in drama.   Love is simply a vibration of energy we allow to flow from our hearts out into the world around us, a flow that can run endlessly, unrestricted, and effortlessly. The only thing that takes effort with love is to restrict and pressurize it.

Let’s break the old outdated and incorrect idea that love is a commodity and give love to everyone! Take the weight off yourself. Depressurize your love tank (That would probably make a good t-shirt too) and share it with everyone so we can all realize we are worthy.

Love and Light,
