7 Principles of Living a Passionate Life

How do you live a passionate life? Today, we will learn the 7 principles that begin to arise naturally when you begin to align with your passions. For most of us, it's our limiting or false beliefs that keep us from living these principles fully and that's why we recommend The Work of Byron Katie. These 7 Principles are like a measuring stick. When you notice that you are easily living them then it's a sign that you are living your passions. The 7 Principles of Living a Passionate Life are:

1. Commitment
2. Clarity
3. Attention
4. Staying Open
5. Integrity
6. Persistence
7. Follow Your Heart

Principle #1: Commitment - As you get more aligned with your passions, you don't have to try to be committed. This is because you are doing what's most important to you and choosing in favour of your passions.

Principle #2: Clarity - Many of the exercises you've done already are designed to help you gain greater clarity about the things you choose to have in your life. Why? "When you are clear, what you choose to show up in your life will, and only to the extent that you are clear."

Principle #3 Attention - The Power of Attention is one of the three keys to creating anything you choose to have in your life: Intention - Attention - No Tension
"What you put your attention on grows stronger in your life"

Principle #4 Staying open - This principle is such an important part of living a passionate life. This is the "no tension" part of Intention - Attention - No Tension

Principle #5 Integrity - builds trust and trust, in turn, allows things to happen quickly. Integrity means being as true to yourself as you are to others and as true to others as you are to yourself.

Principle #6 Persistence - As you follow the path of passion, challenges arise that you didn't predict or foresee. That's why Nature's Guidance System is so important. When you are challenged, this is the time to reaffirm your passions and take The Passion Test again.

Principle #7 Follow Your Heart Passion - arises from the heart, not the mind. The seventh principle says, "When in doubt, follow your heart." When you are connected with your feelings, rather than your thoughts you'll make choices that are aligned with your passions. Beware that there is a difference between following your heart and being impulsive. Following your passions is a balance between following your mind and your heart. What we are saying here is than when you find a decision is difficult to make, follow your heart. Go with the things that draw you forward. Sometimes the mind helps us to justify our decisions but when it comes to making decisions to follow your passions, follow your heart.
