Getting beyond Separation isn't always easy and can certainly take some time, so be patient and not too hard on yourself. Baby steps in the right direction is all that's needed, no matter how often you think you might be going backwards. Remember one step back and two steps forward is the way it works.

The question that begs to be asked is are you living your life with real purpose and soul or is something missing, and keeping you in what may appear to be a never ending loop? Well, it's time to break free!

Maybe your missing some passion in your life. In fact I know you are — most of us do. Even the people who have got it all together still need renewed passion. Working out what you're passionate about is possibly the most productive step you can take to help you move forward into a life of fulfillment, meaning and excitement. It's that important, so don't put it off, time's a tickin!

So what are your passions buried deep within your soul? What truly magnificent gold treasure is hidden beneath some confusion or distractions, simply requiring only some attention to clear your mind, seeing the gold and living happily thereafter?

Wouldn't it be fantastic if you could create the life you really want? WOW! Well you can. Doesn't that make you feel excited? The trick is to discover what your passions are, focus on them, make a habit of doing this, exercising some discipline as well as having lots of fun on the way and wallah!

Behold, a unique gratifying and amazing life will jump out of nowhere. You will have created a life that will knock your socks off! So let's stop wasting your time focusing on what you don't want and go after what you do want. No more time and energy on those boring and draining habits or negative payoffs that get you absolutely nowhere, so let's get on with the good stuff.

The first thing is to work out what your passions are, and then by placing your attention on them, they will become your new way of life.

The trick is to crank up your feelings of self worth, and write down ten or more qualities that would represent the dream or ideal life you wish to live. Don't think practically, what's possible or impossible, just what would make you feel really good inside. Your happiness is going to bust at the seams in a minute, I can feel it!

By giving up the notion of allowing your false self or ego to control your life, you will reveal more about your true self and who you really are. From this you will be able to uncover your true passions of the heart, and not the artificial, superficial and illusory gains of materialism, imagery and what's just good for your false self.

We all have unique gifts to give and share with others and the world, it's just a matter of understanding this mechanism and how it works. It's not an overnight job but it's well worth some time and effort.

For a start, letting go of the past and forgiveness is all important, not just of others but seek forgiveness for yourself. Minimising distractions, quietening and emptying the mind, not filling the mind up with immaterial rubbish from media and advertising sources that controls your mind somebody else's way. You want and must be in control of yourself, and that means your sub-conscious mind, which by the way controls 95% of the mind. So if what you want isn't in your sub-conscious, chances are it ain't going to happen. So what a great time to start creating some new and strong habits revolving around the passions you love.

But first you need to clear and quieten the mind. This may take some meditation practice, training and time, and then get in touch with your heart. The idea is to write down a list of righteous things that make you feel good and alive. Then with clear intent, focus on that what you desire — but remember, no stress is allowed! It's to be relaxed, free and easy, not to mention fun and exciting, as all those fun chemicals rush out from your brain making you feel fantastic. You're gong to feel like a million bucks! Who wouldn't want to be on this high day after day. You will feel like you're in a world of constant bliss.

The formula for success in life in my opinion is fulfilling and living your passions of your ideal life. What you imagine, believe, love, enjoy and repeat often enough, is what you become. If you look back over your life, what you have loved and enjoyed you most likely did well and often. It's what you became. So with that in mind, you can do it again, just this time with a bit more awareness, that's all.

Your passions are what's important to you. You will want them constantly in your life giving you joy and keeping you in a state of happiness. It's your birthright and destiny to be happy — so always remember this!

Do you recall that first passionate kiss and how it made you feel? Just like a kiss, once your other passions are awakened you will feel really alive, once more!

With love and kindness
