Reigniting the Flame

Passion is something we hear about every day. It's what fuels us to get up in the morning, get through the day and even go to bed to do it all over again Sometimes though our fire can start to dim and if we do not act when we notice the darkness happening it could burn out completely.  If we are going to maintain our passion for what we are called to do, we must not confuse hype with passion. There is definitely a hype out there that can give us a momentary boost of energy but will not sustain our long term loyalty. We end up relying on external rewards and affirmation to keep us on track. Passion is something that comes from the inside, not from the outside appearance or appreciation. Igniting it and keeping it alive takes personal work and really a lot of commitment. 

Here are some keys to help reignite the passion in your life:                

• Set goals to get yourself pumped. It's hard to kick butt when you don't know what to do. At the beginning of the day, make a shortlist of goals you want to achieve by the end of the day. These goals should be achievable and highly productive relative to your long-term goals. 
• Keep good friends close.  We all need our squad of people to help pick us up when we are down and to cheer us on when we are just done. Also to hold us accountable when we go astray.
• Kick-off your morning with something you enjoy. Take a jog, play some happy music. Eat your favorite breakfast. Listen to a motivating podcast. Drink a nice cup of coffee or tea. No matter what it is making sure you carve out enough time in your morning routine to fit it into your day!
• Enjoy the journey.  Life can be hard. We all have challenges to navigate, budgets to balance, people to love and serve, goals to reach, and disappointments to process. Therefore, laugh when you can and as often as you can. Don’t make it harder than it needs to be.

Hopefully, these tips will help make that passion come back alive again!
