The sun sets on another day…
Sunset was almost there where I could see it, then it was snatched away by the clouds. I smiled at seeing a few colors, and laughed at the amazing moments leading up to the night. In the end, it was good!
Today I had the privilege of meeting up with some people I hadn’t seen in some time. They had recently gotten married after some interesting relationships. I had known one of them for a long, long time, and the other was new to me but dear. As I interacted with them, I found something that had been missing for some time. The one I had known before was different. There was a glimmer in their eye and a sparkle in his step.
Usually, people would look at me and say that I was imagining. Well, actually, nobody would say that to me because I don’t guess when it comes to people. I pay very close attention. I had watched this person over the years be slowly ground into nothing. Their moments had been spent serving an unforgiving master or two. One was a job, and another was an unappreciative partner. Both wore this person down until there was little left except cold logic and shaded passion.
Today I saw them living life more effectively than I had in many years. It’s not that they hadn’t lived before; instead, it is more than passion was suddenly inside everything they did.
Passion is what drives us. It makes us more successful in business and far more successful in interacting. People can be successful without passion, but the purpose is lost, and often they lose sight of why they are striving for more. Passion can move mountains.
It was with great happiness that I saw passion and purpose back in this person’s eyes. I hope they continue to love with a heart that was once lost and find their way to where they truly want to be.
So as the sun sets on another day, take a moment and remember that a relationship without passion is a relationship that may not be fulfilling. Find your way and have a twinkle in your eye every day. After all, there is no tomorrow to wait for. Show your love often and forever, no matter what.
Sleep sweet, love life, and be passionate…
