Tips To Stay Passionate About Life!!!!

What causes people to give up on life?, or simply wander about life waiting for their death date. John Maxwell says “ Some people are already dead they just haven’t made it official yet.” This statement may sound silly but it is true for most people.Not having anything to look forward to can easily cause one to live discouraged, depressed and eventually give up on life. When I ask people why they do not set goals for their lives, most often say because I want to take/ live each day as it comes by, mainly because the future is uncertain. Well, the future will always be uncertain but setting goals makes one feel like they are in control of their life and therefore poses creative power.

It’s amazing how human beings are the only creatures on earth with creative power. Therefore when you feel like you do not have control, or not making any progress in your life it leads to frustration. This may in turn slowly deteriorate you

 So How Can You  stay Passionate about life!

Simple, having something to look forward to, set goals and wake up each morning looking forward to achieving them. Having goals keeps your soul alive and excited about life. This may be as simple as looking forward to spending quality time with your loved ones, completing your dream house, going on that mission trip, wearing that graduation gown. Setting goals is a skill that everyone must poses. As I mentioned above, setting goals can unleash your creative power and makes you feel like you have control over your life. When setting goals it is very important to write them down.

CONTRIBUTION!

Another way to stay passionate about life is for one to contribute, add value.  Adding value and contributing not only helps the beneficiary but you as well. When challenges come, you have a reason to move past them and fight because you know someone out there depends on you or is looking up to you because of the way you add value in their life. Again it does not have to be to a  large number of people, like the whole world or something, although that would be great. As long as you are adding value to one person that’s a good enough reason to keep going in life. It does not matter what you do, make it a priority to add value, you could be an advocate for cancer, end child marriages, help assist in providing access to clean water and even simply encourage someone at your workplace.

BUILD RELATIONSHIPS!

Yes, you read that right, build relationships. We live in a generation where most people describe themselves as introverts. Don’t get me wrong, it is very important to have some alone time, infect it is actually mandatory to get to connect with yourself, know who you are and what you want. Connecting with people other than yourself is equally important. Relationships are not only social, you could build a relationship just to assist you in your health and fitness goal and can have personal growth relationships. Having good and healthy relationships keeps you encouraged in this journey of life. Think about it, why do you exist with other human beings, you could have been living in your own world but God had to create other human beings just for you to build relationships with. Building relationships can be as simple as connecting with your children, siblings, and spouse.  So go ahead make it a priority to build relationships.

Do life big and stay passionate about life!!!!
