WHEN
PASSION DWINDLES,
INTENTION REKINDLES.
Passion could be so intriguing! With granted permit to creativity
juice to flow, everyone remains awe stricken, wondering how the “passionately
addicted” makes everything seems so easy. Here is the secret, a well-polished
passion makes people perceive and appreciate you more, every passion is like fashion; it
is at the fingertips of all and sundry; everybody has access to it. An
active passion or that, in motion is style; it gives an impression of who you
are! “Passion is doing something
you love to do again and again with ease and without tiresome. Dream may at
times be fantasy, but passion is always realistic.”- Aravinth Rajagopal
However incredible, style is exclusive to every individual. The
dynamicity of fashion procreated style. Think passion, think how to
rock and flaunt it comfortably too; Be stylishly passionate! Passion is
dynamic, it is malleable and so, can be beaten into any taste if you wouldn’t
mind. Even if everyone else is practicing what you love to do, you can always
season yours to taste; one writer writes only in uppercase, the other feels fulfilled
using lower case; both are still writers. Ain’t they? Passion is firm, yet, flexible!
It's quite disheartening that the overwhelmed feeling of
being in love rob us of the attention for a well spelt intention. Perhaps, you never knew; intention
insures your passion! A good intention is like a fuel that rekindles a
weak passion, or rather, revive to life, a lifeless one. Here is Marcia
Wieder’s ‘working definition’ for intention; “to have in mind a purpose or plan, to direct the mind, to aim.” He
continued; “lacking intention, we sometimes
stray without meaning or direction. But with it, all the forces of the universe
can align to make even the most impossible, possible.”
When passion fails you, good intention raises you. Being in
the mood all time is feasible but not always possible. Ordinarily, it's normal to be hit by quitting syndrome
at any point in time (one feels like saying never, fabricate
excuses to justify resignation, search for instances of successful quitters
though there is none to earn few folks’ understanding, weep for the fear of
the unknown…). If your zeal suddenly drops from its spike and wouldn’t stop
diminishing, don’t be scared; passion dwindles!
Coincidentally or rather, unfortunately, when passion is
down, determination becomes sick too, focus becomes blur and everything just
seem to be withering, almost dying. When your passion files for divorce, your
good intention is the most qualified lawyer to employ because when passion
dwindles, intention rekindles!
Intention directs, determination drives while prayer sustains
passion. The saying
of the Prophet of Islam, Muhammad AbduLlah (SallaLlahu ‘alayhi wa Salam) "Action shall be judged according to
intention…" is enough to elucidate the relevance and determining
prowess of intention as well as its proportionate relationship with passion; It is
the ‘why’ behind every action. Do you now fathom better, why you need
to make your intentions clear? I just asked myself; “Rahmah, what’s the
intention behind your writing passion? Why this niche? Why not fashion or
sports…?” How about you? What is your intention doing whatever it is you are
into?
As nothing is set on the stone, if that dream of yours is currently devoid of
intention, it’s not too late to insure it by getting one; Your dwindling
passion could as well find a lasting solution in a selfless intention; hurry up and
write one down. Make your goal a whole; is it not worth it? Breathe life into it
using an explicit intention as a tool!
I don’t know what you want or need, but I
believe what you desire is to make it to the peak… and that’s my wish for you!
Leap into the next six days enthusiastically!
Keep on keepin’ on!
Enjoy the rest of the week!
