Maximize Your Passion: Reignite What Life Tried to Take From You

There is a spark inside of you. Maybe you’ve heard it before. Maybe you’ve felt it. Maybe you’ve even chased it… before life knocked the wind out of your sails. You’re not alone. If you’re reading this, it’s because you’re ready to reclaim the power that was yours all along.

The Truth About Passion

Passion is the fuel that sets your soul on fire. It’s the internal drive that makes everything you do feel alive with purpose. It’s the heartbeat of your destiny. But what happens when that passion has been buried by years of disappointment, trauma, betrayal, or just plain survival mode?

Here’s the truth they didn’t tell you growing up: Your passion can never truly be destroyed. It may be hidden, buried beneath layers of fear or forgotten under the weight of responsibilities and external expectations, but it’s still there.

You may have been born into situations that tried to steal your light. You may have suffered things that were beyond your control, things you didn’t deserve. Systems, people, principalities and powers that said, “No, not you.” But here’s what I want to say to you today:

Yes, YOU.

Yes, you are still called. Yes, you still matter. Yes, your passion can still change the world.

When the World Tries to Dim Your Fire

You weren’t born broken. You were born with a powerful purpose and an unshakable spark. But if your life was like mine, maybe people around you couldn’t see that light, or worse, they tried to snuff it out.

Maybe your parents didn’t understand you. Maybe you were told your dreams were “unrealistic.” Maybe religion, school, culture, or abuse tried to force you into a mold you were never meant to fit.

Whatever it was, it didn’t destroy you. It refined you.

You didn’t come this far just to feel numb and disconnected.

Rediscovering What Excites You

Let’s cut through the noise. Passion is not something someone gives you. It’s something you uncover. It’s what you were always meant to do.

Here are a few quick questions to help you begin uncovering your passion (yes, even if it’s been buried for years):

      • What were you naturally drawn to as a child before someone told you to “grow up”?
      • When do you feel most alive, even now?
      • What do you secretly dream about doing if no one else’s opinion mattered?
      • What injustice, problem, or cause stirs something deep inside of you?
      • Who are the people you feel called to help or inspire?

Start there. Sit with these questions. Journal them. Pray over them. Meditate. Your passion is encoded in your very DNA. It’s not something new you need to create, it’s something ancient you need to remember.

The Power of Passion in Purpose

Once you reconnect with your passion, everything shifts.

You’re not dragging yourself through life anymore, you’re running toward destiny.

In my book, How to Find Your Life Purpose, Message, Passion, and Mission, we explore the Quaternity of Purpose: Purpose, Message, Passion, and Mission. Passion is the engine that turns your Purpose into fuel. Without passion, it’s all theory. With it, it becomes momentum.

This is why rediscovering your passion is not optional—it’s essential.

It lights the path.
It pulls you forward.
It activates your voice.
It aligns your soul.

What If You Still Feel Stuck?

That’s okay. Be gentle with yourself. You didn’t bury your passion overnight, and you don’t have to uncover it overnight either.

Start small.

Do something that brings you joy, even if it seems silly or insignificant. Follow the breadcrumbs of enthusiasm. You don’t need to leap tall buildings in a single bound. You just need to move one step closer every day.

And if fear rises up? That’s a good sign. It means you’re heading in the right direction.

Get Ready to Get Excited Again

This is your moment.

Not yesterday. Not ten years ago. Now.

You don’t have to stay frozen by the past. You don’t have to remain stuck in a life that doesn’t reflect your soul. You’re not too late. You’re not too old. You’re not too broken.

Your passion is waiting to meet you again.

Get excited. Because once you unlock your passion, it will unlock everything ahead of you.

      • The calling.
      • The clarity.
      • The community.
      • The income.
      • The healing.

It all flows from passion that aligns with your Purpose, Message, and Mission.

You’re not just chasing a dream, you’re becoming who you were born to be.

Evil Dad is Dead

I have a client whose father had passed away and offered my condolences to Justine regarding the loss of her parent. I expected a soulful response, instead, she went into a near-violent monologue citing all the horrible things her father had done to her throughout her whole life. Justine said, “I’m glad he’s dead,” and intimated that there was no one else she could think of, who was more deserving of death (and a little burning in hell wouldn’t hurt any either).

Clearly, Justine had issues to work out considering her father, her past, and the life they shared.

Drama and trauma visit us all through life and you push down your feelings about the stuff that would otherwise prevent you from moving forward or might even have killed anyone who was not as strong as you. And it works. But you could do better.

Justine may have a new sense of freedom in the knowing that her unsupportive and abusive father was dead, which liberated her from the dark cloud of his existence from her life, or long ago, she could have found freedom in realizing that things are not always as they seem, and seeing the broad view of the sacredness in all things.

All relationships invite components of angst, disappointment, trust betrayal, and abusive behavior. If you haven’t seen this yet, give it time. Dealing with these inconsistencies or surprises in relationships is what strengthens your resolve to rely on yourself more as the answer to the satisfaction you seek in this life.

At some point in time, your focal point in life changes from the view from your physical body, struggling to survive in the trenches of every day life, to the divine version of your self which sees that everything and everyone in this life are all players in your personal passion play, and that everyone is playing their part perfectly. Everyone.

I know, Nietzsche’s contemporized quote, what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger, doesn’t sound appealing in the moment of despair, but nevertheless, it is true. Those moments when we look the devil in the eye and live to tell about it, do make us stronger, better than we were before, even though there may be some lag-time in the healing from the event to fully attain all the benefits from the experience.

You can struggle to understand what is going on from this 3D experience to the best of your ability, and many people have done a magnificent job of doing so, or you can see it from the point of view of your higher self, either from here or after you leave here. After you leave, everything makes sense and you are in a constant vibrational state of love, where there is no conflict.

If you could imagine going from this life to a state of being where there was only love, you might think that, if given the opportunity, you might like to come to a place, like planet Earth, and live out a life with an entire spectrum of experiences. Or, maybe you might have an interest in one particular type of behavior and the life which accompanies it, and desire to see what it would be like to live out a life, like that. Out of pure curiosity.

In Justine’s case, that’s just what happened.

She and her best friend as their highest selves agreed to come here and play out these two parts. Her friend would come here first, to set the stage to play the part of the evil father, then Justine was born to play out the part of the abused daughter.

Neither party knew how the precise elements of these lives would play out in specific detail, but the key components were set up and agreed to in advance of embarking on this journey.

And Justine’s being glad that her father was dead?

All a precisely orchestrated part of her personal passion play performed perfectly in every detail.

This is where she needs to be at this critical moment in her journey. From here, the rest of her story plays out.

While her best friend waits off-camera (so to speak) wishing she could have broken her commitment to “do not break character,” while playing the part of the evil dad, also knowing the sacred responsibility she had to do so for her friend. She completely loves Justine as she continues to watch her live out the rest of the story, anticipating the hour when they are both reunited to share the details of their journeys both together and separately.

Now, Justine’s story begins again.

 

Do Not Break Character

You come to this planet for many reasons. From the point of view of your highest and best, you have come here with a Purpose, Message, Passion, and Mission (PMPM) to exercise here, but if you are somewhat normal, your sense of these are quashed early in life.

That’s okay because there’s a backup plan for you fulfilling a call to the active living out of your personal passion play, as you also play a part (or many parts) in the life-plays of other individuals whose paths will intersect or run in tandem with yours.

You will play your part, and you will not break character while in the process of doing so, as it is programmed deep into every cell of your body in this “reality.” This is so deeply embedded in you so that you do not break character.

In living out your performance in one moment you may be someone else’s hero, in another, you will play the villain, and this is your secondary reason for being born. This programming is powered by the standard energetic vibrational frequency of our planet, and our social structures fully and seamlessly support this.

While most of us are keenly focused on this 3D level of existence, there are many other levels of existence, living of life, and experiences going on simultaneously among our multiverse.

There is a higher vibrational version of you that is experiencing you’re playing out of your part and living out your own personal passion play. This part of you was fully aware of your purpose, message, passion, and mission, and additionally has a basic understanding of the part(s) you would and will continue play out in the lives of others as they intersected.

There may have been some pre-planning of certain episodic characteristics of your personal passion play which have been pre-determined. For instance, your higher self may have made an agreement with someone with whom they are very close, recruiting them to play certain parts in your personal passion play. In other cases, while your higher self was readying for your incarnation, someone may have volunteered to play out a part of a dastardly character, with the pledge to play this part in such a way as to be evil enough to accomplish the task, but gentle enough not foil the entire theme.

And you do not break character throughout your own personal passion play, that is, unless you

Awaken

If you can break free from the third-dimensional trance, which happens to most people, even if only for a moment, you can get a glimpse of the broader scale of existence. Normally, when this occurs, the sociological structure will persuade you to return to the trance-state which is “normal.” This is the path of least resistance, so most people concede.

Some, though, persist in their awakening and start to see the big picture.

You are in this phase of awakening, and you’re considering reconnecting to your primary purpose, message, passion, and mission to live out a more fulfilling life in the living out of your personal passion play.

Akawening can empower you to totally break character, increasing your ability to achieve your highest and best, to live a better life, your best life, and make the world a better place.

Your higher self celebrates when you break through the barriers of the planetary confines and expand your consciousness beyond that of your peers. This is the next evolutionary phase of humanity on this planet which you are a part of, though the powers that be, would prefer that this evolution not take place.

Those who might do anything to prevent this evolutionary process to take place have a great deal to lose, because the system which they have devised, as brilliantly complex as it is, is not sustainable on a planet of enlightened individuals.

If none of this makes sense to you, not to worry. When your personal passion play on this planet is complete, you will instantly know why things aren’t always what they seem.

In that moment, you break character, and your awareness is instantly that of your higher self. Then, everything makes sense.

And (this may disappoint some people) even if you played a wicked character in this life, you will wake up full of love, because in that dimension where your higher self resides, there is only love. We come here to enjoy some drama, to see what it’s like.

What a wild ride this has been.
