I had an interesting conversation with our facility’s chef, Lisa Howard owner of the Cultured Cook, this weekend. You can tell how passionate she is about her work as when she talks about quality food, her whole face lights up. She becomes animated and any negativity around her is diffused by her determination. We were actually discussing what the market would bare for various services. Why are we afraid to charge for what we are worth? What is holding us back? If we are truly passionate about our passion, then we believe in ourselves and also our worth. When we are in our passion, we feel alive and can conquer the world. Our inner flame lights up and kindles others. Everything just feels right…from head to toe.
My colleague Dawn Singer, owner of Yoga Swami, a donation-based yoga studio in Encinitas, California has a saying about your passion that I have quoted in my Private Practice, Getting that Jump Start manuals and workshops, and that is:
BE DO HAVE
You can be whom you choose to be and create yourself anew with every moment. Being the type of person you want to be, starts with doing the thing that person who you want to be does which leads to naturally having the things you want to have. What is the burning fire within you? Is it freedom, peace, recognition? Know yourself and who you want to be. Once you discover this, you will naturally do the things that give you freedom, peace or recognition. The more you develop your own character, the more value you have to share with others.
