Hmmm... perhaps that's something that's part of everyone's journey? Once we start off down the 'personal development path' (or however we personally might describe the decision to understand more about ourselves, and create the skills that will get us more of what we want and less of what we don't) Perhaps, because so much of the change is internal, it's hard to see it from the inside; which means that unless we either have it reflected back to us from someone 'on the outside', or we actively take time to reflect on it ourselves, it can end up being effectively invisible (at least to us) I know it can work that way for me, anyway. <i>*Notes to self: start making more time for regular reflection!*</i> Blessings, and thanks again Starfire Heya David

You’re very welcome. Hmmm… perhaps that’s something that’s part of everyone’s journey? Once we start off down the ‘personal development path’ (or however we personally might describe the decision to understand more about ourselves, and create the skills that will get us more of what we want and less of what we don’t)

Perhaps, because so much of the change is internal, it’s hard to see it from the inside; which means that unless we either have it reflected back to us from someone ‘on the outside’, or we actively take time to reflect on it ourselves, it can end up being effectively invisible (at least to us)

I know it can work that way for me, anyway. *Notes to self: start making more time for regular reflection!*

Blessings, and thanks again

Bohl Sat, 02 Feb 2008 12:05:59 +0000 http://www.slowdownfast.com/blog/what-are-you-passionate-about/#comment-5258 Starfire, Thanks for your kind words. It wasn't always like that for me, either. I have to make the time each and every day to appreciate how far I've come. It isn't a simple pat on the back - it reminds me, as I seek to continually learn and grow, that I'm constantly eveolving even when i can't see that in front of me. David Starfire,

Thanks for your kind words.

Sure there are things I enjoy messing around with that I won't necessarily share with all and sundry; but the stuff that I'm really passionate about? That I can be honest about. It wasn't always like that though; so in addition to making me want to blog about what I'd give my 5-minute 'passionate speech' about? Your post has come as a really welcome reminder to take a moment to look back at how far I've come, and give myself credit for consciously creating my life so that I *can* share what I'm passionate about with the people who mean anything to me.
