Passion

Every moment is a gift, when we stay open to what is appearing now

 – Janet and Chris Attwood

On Sunday, nearly 400 Goans attended Janet Attwood’s workshop on her simple yet profound – Passion Test. The event was organized by the GEMS Trust (Goa Entrepreneurial Mentoring Services Trust) to share valuable ways to empower passion amidst students and parents, educators and artists, entrepreneurs and youth.

Janet showed full evidence of her own passion in her animated expressive style. She got everyone to list ten passions and then used her successful template to help identify top five passions and evaluate them further as per the ‘Passion Test’. But the biggest learning was in her suggested power of three – intention, attention and no-tension – to define apt markers for each passion.

Janet explained that we are constantly creating the circumstances that surround us by the virtue of the beliefs we hold to be true. In fact our results always match our true intentions. But the intention will come to nought if we do not focus our attention on it. Often this attention will bring to fore fears and worries. Hence we need to acquire the simple, easy, effortless process of no-tension to align perfectly with our passion.

We can connect to true happiness when we connect to our passions. They reside in our mind alongside logic that seeks to dilute, defeat or demean them. Janet’s formula of uniting intention, attention and no-tension is the best way to impact our passion and happiness quotient. It is the effortless path to discovering our life purpose.

True intentions, focussed attention and no-tension
must ‘unite to impact’ each purposeful passion!
