Passion isn't just about taking a romantic vacation or visiting an enchanting destination, it's not about stocking up on wine for a specific occasion, and it's not a luxury only available to the elite.
What does it take to get passion back? It's actually simpler than we think.
We often take the beauty of everyday life and the gifts of nature for granted.
On days when our schedules are full and stressful, we don't even notice them, let alone rejoice in them.
Imagine a moment when there is no light at all in the night sky - no moon, no stars, no Milky Way, complete darkness.
Some time later, one night, the veil over everything is suddenly lifted and all these glowing celestial bodies are visible. At this time, people from all parts of the earth look up at the sky with tears in their eyes and feel very happy.
Living a life of passion and awakening is like looking at the stars every night, but feeling that this is the only time in your life that you will ever look at them.
Like hugging someone you love, but feeling like it's the only hug you'll ever get in this life.
It's like living every day with reverence and wonder, but feeling like it's the only day you'll have in this life.
So I keep asking myself, "Do I want this to be my last day?" In this way, I'm mindful of what's important-the relationships I have with my family, the relationships I have with my friends, and enjoying every simple pleasure that comes my way. These are the things that matter most.
In this way, it becomes clear to me how limited my time on earth is and how it can end at any time. Knowing this, I didn't want to miss out on the things that really mattered.
Instead of slacking off on my joy, I actively sought out the things I was passionate about. And for the first time in my life, I felt so at peace with myself.
