Welcome to the Weekend. Dear , I really hope you've had a good week. No, not just a good week -- an amazing, passionate, bold week! Can you claim that at least part of your week was passion-filled (no, not THAT kind of passion!!)? Did you work on something that inspired you or put you in the flow where you lose track of time? If you'd asked me these questions several years ago, I wouldn't have had the answers for myself. But now I understand the amazing power of living your life passion. I understand how it's like eating tofu all your life and then someone offers you a gourmet meal. You didn't know how much better food could be! It's the same with life passion. Living your passion through work is life-changing (that's a huge chunk of your day). But if you can't change careers, you can live it in other ways too -- through a hobby, avocation, volunteer work, or lifestyle shift. If you don't have enough passion in your life, I highly recommend you figure out what your passion is and then go live it! Wishing you a passion-filled weekend! Warmly, Barrie Weekend Inspiration Ten Reasons Why You Should Find and Live Your Life Passion 1. You will feel happier, more energized, and more enthusiastic about life in general. 2. You will feel like something has finally clicked -- that you are doing what you were meant to do. 3. Your relationships will improve because you will be a more attractive, interesting person. 4. You will be so engaged in what you are doing that time passes quickly. 5. You will be inspired to learn more, take more actions, broaden your perspective. 6.

Warmly, Barrie Weekend Inspiration How to Put Your Life in Perspective in 30 Seconds If you want to let go of worry and stop focusing on problems or disappointments, take a look at these images below. Make the most of your beautiful life, and keep things in perspective! Look at this image of Earth in relation to the inner planets, including Pluto, which is quite a dwarf planet. We look pretty sizable here. Now look at Earth compared to all of the planets in our Solar System. It could be boil on the nose of Jupiter. Pluto looks like a joke. Imagine if Jupiter were inhabited! Ok, here we are compared to the Sun. Our Sun is known as a G2 star -- just one of 100 million stars just in our galaxy. We are a speck on a speck. Now look at our Sun compared to some other stars. Earth can't even be seen with the naked eye. Here are a few more super jumbo stars. Arcturus, the largest star in the previous image, is the tiny star to the left of the white star. In this image, our Sun can't be seen with the naked eye. Bold Life Tip Life is not linear. Our capacity for growth and renewal is constant, regardless of age. Keep things in perspective and remember the boundless opportunities available to you every day.
