Designing a passionate life sometimes requires you to make choices between passions. What a great problem to have!! You are clear about your passions, you are living them, and they are bumping up against each other. When this happens, rejoice in the fact that you are living your passions. When you are clear about your passions, it is easier to make decisions that support you in living them. But what do you do when two of your top five passions clash? How do you choose between them?
This happened to me recently and it was an interesting question for me in the moment. I was presented with the choice of working in my business or spending time with my husband outside enjoying summer fun. Both of these are in my top five passions. I immediately noticed that I felt some conflict. One part of me wanted to say no because I was so excited about what I was doing in my business. And another part of me really wanted to spend time with my husband. What do you do when this happens?
It happened in an instant for me. I noticed the conflict within me immediately and just let it be. I didn't judge it in any way; I let the decision come to me. Rather than using my intellect, I followed my intuition. Ultimately, my commitment to my husband and our relationship outweighs my commitment to my business. I chose to spend time with my husband. We had a great picnic and enjoyed our time together in the park. It was a great way to take a break and let my creative juices get regenerated.
If you find yourself in this same conflict ask yourself the following questions:
Give yourself some time to ponder these questions and then simply let the answer come to you. Your intuition will lead you to your answer. Celebrate that you are bringing change to your life by living your passions and living a more fulfilled life.
