Where self-criticism leaves us powerless and distraught, self-compassion and following our true passion in life is at the root of empowerment, learning, and inner strength.
It’s safe to say that common knowledge favors passion, right?!? “Follow your passion” random bloggers urge. “Give all your heart” reads another witty blog post title. Can we all agree that passion is pretty cool and a useful endeavor? Sprinkled kindly and with care, passion on top of passion, and everything else in life that follows will be pure bliss. So why not marinate yourself with passion and savor this “sauce of life?“
Ladies? Dudes? Come a little closer so know one will hear what you are about to admit … How many movies starring Hugh Grant have you watched with plots that center on this very question: Will J-LO (some woman) run away and madly fall in love with Hugh, choosing the frenzied, passionate hunk for a life filled with unpredictability and passion, or will she choose the man whose love is firm and deep, a man who is predictable and well … steady, loving?
Notes:
Passion can be tricky, really tricky and nasty at times. Passion is pure joy, when carried away by romance, or in the flow of yoga class, out on the trail, passion makes us feel vibrantly alive. Like the essence of a perfumed wind, delicious, delightful, not to be missed…and fleeting like an ephemeral flower in spring.
Be well and take care this weekend!

I wish that was me, especially out here in Nebraska. Its not a bad thing to dream right?!? Hope you and the family are having a great weekend!
110 today @ 19.6 mph. Perfect day for a long ride. Now it’s nappy time on the way to a friend’s house warming party. 😉
I always liked the see-food diet. I just make sure to eat enough to fill up and no more. Throw in 150 miles a week on that and it’s all good. ;). Nice post.
I have a few special posts coming up that I think you are going to enjoy – a complete break from the normal crap over here: How to train for a 150 mile “Gravel Grinder” ride – Without really “training” … It should be fun and I would really appreciate your thoughts! Until then, take care!
That’s huge! 150 on GRAVEL? Holy smokes, looking forward to it.
I love this . . .
Awesome 🙂 Have a great weekend and please take care!
