To Have Never Tried ...

Many of us are afraid to follow our passion,

to pursue what we want most because 

it means taking risks

and even facing failure.

But to pursue your passion

with all your heart and soul

is success in itself.

The greatest failure is to have

never tried.

Many years ago, I was the director of a preschool program.  Through time and brief exchanges, I became friendly with the mother of one of my little students.  She was an accomplished artist who reflected a passion for her work.  

I happened to mention this artist to a friend of mine who was an art teacher at the local high school.  Much to my surprise, my friend knew this artist.  So we put our three heads together and organized a play day for our children while we could work with some form of art.

This alliance stayed strong for quite some time offering us stronger bonds of friendship, laughter, and artistic expression.  Out of the three of us, I was the plagiarizer!

They knew what they were doing having had years of education and experience while I was a novice.  I was very thankful for the opportunity to experiment.

We all have a passion that needs to be expressed and by choosing to do so brings us closer to our spiritual connection.   This passion begins to be processed through our unique abilities and blends with Divinity.  

I refer to this experience as "being in the flow".  One becomes so absorbed in processing the passion everything becomes limitless.  

Whether it is through the written word, painting, articulating, or physical movement, our passion blends with our body, mind, and spirit. The end result is about feeling fulfilled not about equivalence to success.  The lingering sensation is experienced as oneness with all things.
