Have you ever said, “I just don’t feel passionate or inspired about anything any more.” What happens sometimes is that the duty, responsibility, the grind, being overworked and sometimes under-acknowledged takes its toll and you are suddenly feeling burnt out – ticked off, or just plain tired and exhausted. Passion is not out there somewhere hiding waiting to be found. Instead it comes from inside. Developing the ability to recognize and feel passion is necessary in order to experience.

“Life is a dance, you learn as you go. Sometimes you lead and sometimes you follow. Don’t worry that you don’t know, you learn as you go.” Above are lyrics from a song.

Life just keeps getting better. I do remember when I dreaded getting older. I thought turning 50 was the worst thing that could ever happen to me. It wasn’t.

My mother use to say, “A Leopard never changes it spots” to mean that people do not change. I use to think this was true. However, now I realize that is isn’t true at all. People change all the time. We can’t help but to change through our life experiences. Now if someone makes a choice not to change, that is another story; they might want their spots to stay the same. But how sad not to grow into the full potential of whom we are.   Not to change means we don’t grow, develop, or mature; we simply remain stagnant.
