Introducing Sharon Eden – the Passion Whisperer

As Donald Trump once said, “Without Passion you have no energy.  Without energy you have nothing.”

So, think about your own life and remember a time when you were feeling down and lifeless.  I bet you felt you couldn’t be bothered and certainly were not up for adventures and who-knows-what-you-might-discover.  Just see yourself in that time in your life…. and if you had a colour to symbolise that time, what colour comes to mind?

Now, with a swift wriggle of your body, or a clap of your hands, get rid of those glooopy feelings because it’s time to change the scene.

Remember a time in your life when you were enthusiastic

Now remember a time in your life when you felt enthusiastic, on top of the world and ready to go-go-go even if you didn’t know for sure exactly where you were go-go-going.  Life had possibilities and you enjoyed most every moment.  Take a moment to see yourself then.  And, if you had a colour to symbolise that time, what would it be?

Now, if I was a betting woman, I’d lay down a hefty wad of cash that your first colour was dull, lacklustre or murky while your second colour was vibrant and lively, full of energy.

How do I know?  As much as I would love to lay claim to a magical wisdom comparable to Yoda from Star Wars, it’s simple.

In the first case you were what I call ‘living dead.’  Disengaged from your passion, there ain’t no energy.  So you would associate with a ‘lifeless’ colour in this state.  In the second case you were plugged into your Passion and so had bags of energy and oh so good feelings.  Result?  A vibrant, lively colour.

As the man said, without Passion you truly have nothing!

Watch out for my next blog post when I’ll show you the difference between Passion with a big P and passion with a small p, and why the difference is important.
