 In one of my favorite movies, “Ever After”, one of the main characters declares that he used to think that if cared about anything he would have to care about everything.  What he realized however, is that he could focus more on one thing than another.  Find his passion and go with it.  He is inspired by his newfound love of the Cinderella character because she is very passionate and speaks her mind.  From that he is able to identify how he wants to make an impact on the world.  I used to think very much the same way.  That if I let anyone in to my heart, I would have to let everyone into my heart.  With maturity and some recovery from my black and white thinking, I am able to see that I can have different levels of closeness with people.  I can also choose those things that are most important to me and those determine the places where I put the most time and energy.  Other things will get done and happen, but will not take center stage.  Life is full of passion and excitement and sometimes when I connect with what stirs that in me, I have an inkling of what direction God may want me to go in.  It is my responsibility to take the action in that direction and see what happens.  The hard part is not looking for the result, but just to stay in today.  How does the pursuance of this in this moment bring me closer to God, connect me to the world at large and allow me to make a contribution?  It is not about the end result it is about the journey.  My ego so wants it to be about the end result.  In fact, it doesn’t want to dare to take any action unless I can be certain of the results.  This is that everything or nothing thinking.  In the past, this has led to a very small life.  It is only when I dare to take a step in the direction of my passions and interests and leave the results to God that I begin to fully live.  What drives you to dare to take action?  My prayer for you today is that you are able to connect with your passion and dare to take some small action in that direction knowing that God is right there with you.  Make it a great one!  Peace~Colleen
