A piece of advice we often hear when it comes to being successful is to “follow our passion.” But before you can follow your passion, you have to find it. So where do you look for it? You may have sought out clues to your passion in things like personality inventories, self-help books or career assessment tests. Today I am encouraging you to look for your passion somewhere else: in your suffering. The original definition of the word PASSION is actually SUFFERING (referring to the sufferings of Christ between the night of the Last Supper and his death). Over time, we have evolved the word passion to mean: “love; a strong liking or desire for or devotion to some activity, object, or concept.” So the word passion means two things: suffering and love. There is key information in this. Just like we’ve evolved the word passion from suffering to love, see how you can evolve and awaken that passion inside of you by reframing suffering. When you truly understand that EVERYTHING that has happened in your life has been for your highest good, you will naturally be called to serve rather than experience any suffering. As we evolve from suffering to love, we naturally feel more passionate about everything in our life no matter what our job may be. We see that true passion is love. Loving who we are, loving what we do, loving each other and sharing love wherever we go. Christine Hassler
