Designing a passionate life includes family. A family can include blood relations or a family of your own making. Either way, I often hear people say things like 'my family doesn't understand me' they don't really know me. My response is - how well do you know your family members?
If you don't make an effort to get to know and understand them, then how can you expect the same from them. As in any relationship, communication is the key. If you feel like your family doesn't understand you, ask yourself the following questions:
How clearly have I expressed my thoughts and feelings with my family?
How do I express myself with my family, with anger, frustration, or openness?
What is each member of my family passionate about?
What dream does each member of my family have?
What values do each member of my family hold?
How open am I to getting to know my family members?
How open am I to letting them get to know me?
How willing am I to make a connection with each member in my family?
Start a dialog with just one member, maybe the one that you feel the most connected to. Make an effort to get to know them, ask questions, be curious.
I wonder what would happen if you got to really know and understand your family members. Start living passionately and sign up for my free PDD report now.
