In reply to Wesley Wiley. That's a great way to say that Wesley. I'm also reminded of what Gaspar Cassado, a world renowned cellist used to tell his students. He would tell them, “I’m so sorry for you; your lives have been so easy. You can’t play great music unless your heart’s been broken."

Excellent post Adam! I remember hearing a long time ago that we’re like Jesus in that it’s our greatest areas of pain that will provide others with their greatest healing.

In reply to Ann Musico. Yes, I think you'e right Ann. Passion is an emotional response to something so when we experience an emotional trigger we need to pay attention to that clue. You can tell when someone has a passion for something because they have an internal drive that motivates them more than money, power, fame, or anything. Thanks for your comment.

In reply to Bernard Haynes. It's funny how that works Bernard. When we are forced to teach others how to overcome obstacles we also teach ourselves. Glad to add value for you.

Adam a very insightful post – I’ve read before also that if there’s something – an issue – that makes you angry and upset that this could also be a clue to what you are called to do. For example it upsets me and makes me angry when I see overweight children being fed fast food by their parents. I want to show them a better way and why it is so critical to their overall lifelong health.

My passion to help others realize and live their vision was enhanced during a great struggle in our life. It was humorous that God energized my passion to encourage others to succeed in their vision when I was not. I found myself encouraging people who were dealing with the similar thing I was dealing with. During that time of struggle my website and blog was formed to encourage, equip and empower individuals to realize and live their vision. Thanks for the insightful post it was right on time.

In reply to Alana Mokma. I love that you are doing passion workshops at our house Alana. Teaching others is a great way to embrace the healing process. It helps us to process through our own wounds and instruct others on how to move through the pain. The old saying about learning more when you teach something is really true. Keep embracing your wound Alana and you'll find people flocking to you to find out how to overcome their pain.

lol. You crack me up – sometimes I cannot believe how timely your messages are! This week I hosted a passion workshop at my house. Afterwards, I was thinking more about my own passions – I think I’ve been avoiding this – perhaps because it is still painful – but I’ve been discovering one of my passions is to help other women learn how to love themselves, for the very reason you mentioned above – it is one of my wounds. I know I’m very much still in the process. I know once I am fully healed, I can be even more of a resource to others, but I also do not discount the power my story has as I continue to share with others even what it is like to be “in process.” Being so close to how it feels NOW, I can be empathetic to others who are in the now.

In reply to Karen Gregory. You're 85% of the way there Karen if you know what you want to be doing. Most people get stuck there. All dreams come at a price and it can be very scary to decide to pay that price. I don't know what your dream or your price are but when you're intentional about your life you will have succeeded no matter what.

Great message and one I have been struggling with lately. I know what I want to be doing, but I also know that there is a price that needs to be paid for that dream… and that’s a scary leap of faith. Thanks for the encouragement. Need to move forward no matter what.
