live passionately

I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t interested in learning more about the roots of sexuality.

But I was even more interested in discovering roots of desire, the roots of want.

Today I’m doing absolutely nothing! I’ve been so busy for two weeks now that I consider this to be a quite passionate day, just taking some time to reflect and catch up with my self, reload.

I haven’t done this lately. I’ve just been working over and over, soon 2 weeks straight. Unlike school my head is clear but my body is exhausted. I can’t and won’t continue like this. However this is my last weekend at work, then I’m unemployed again.

I need to escape from reality for a while.

If something is worth doing, it’s worth doing with passion. If you can’t put your whole self into it, it’s just not worth it. When you are able to give yourself to something – a project, a job, a relationship – passionately, you get more from it. Sometimes it means that there are more storms in your life, but that only means that there is more emotion and more love.

Here are some of the big things I would like to do:

1. Save a life. Human or animal
2. Contribute to someone else’s education

When you’re able to meet yourself, your life, and others right in the eye, and say, “I care about what happens to you,” I think you’re living passionately.

Looking down my list of entries, I feel more confident than ever that I am still “living passionately,” that I’m making life the focus and not any of my self-conscious worries and concerns.

Life really is what you make of it. Go out and do it!

I had this very negative and frustrating idea that nothing interests me anymore.. and it was terrible because you feel like there is nothing really to live for, you just live because you have to!
Then the Olympic games, and I found myself so exited about it when nobody else did! I was looking forward to it and counting the days.
So i thought “isn’t that passion?”
So I had a little bit of hope again, somethings can still interest me, and if I can define these things and serround myself with them, it will be the greatest step in learning how to live my life passionately. I hope..

You may have a greater chance of success if you choose people who are looking for similar cycles of pleasure.

If people who are working closely together are not looking for similar cycles of pleasure, then no matter how good and capable they are, and no matter how hard they try, they may still often run into conflicts of interest.

I met this old lady tonight named Alma. She and her husband were celebrating an anniversary of sorts. They both had to be in their seventies.

I looked at Alma, so perfectly put together in her fuchsia sweater, striped pants, kitten shoes, with her painted matching fuchsia nails and toenails and thought, “That’s who I want to be when I grow older!)”

She lit up the room with her smile and her energy, and it was so clear to me that here was a woman still very much looking forward to life. Her husband of 46 years plus was also clearly so very much in love with her too.

In fact, she reminded me very much of another lady approaching her eighties with whom I used to work. This lady could put women half her age to shame with her vitality and positive energy. I must always remember this.

Because that’s who I want to be.

If you pursue a relationship primarily because of what you perceive the other person will give you, you may be headed for a rough road.

If you pursue a relationship primarily because of what you perceive you can give to the other person, you may be headed for a rough road.

To the degree either of you pursue intimacy in excess of your combined willingnes or ability to make equitable exchanges, there will likely be conflict and deficits of want.

You are more likely to endure and thrive in relationships with people with whom you are able to regularly engage in equitable exchanges to commonly desired degrees.
