Silence and stillness is not the opposite of a passionate, achieving life. They are actually the centre of it, necessary requirements for it to be manifested fully.
No one wants to have less passion in life, no one wants to be a doormat. Yet that’s what many people think a spiritual path entails. That’s totally wrong.
If this was your last day on earth, wouldn’t you live it differently? You would truly drink it all in, wouldn’t you? … every last moment. And how alive would you be?
Passion and purpose are some wonderful concepts – to live well, to have meaning and make the most of this short time on Earth – and yet it’s so easy to look at our lives and think we’re not doing enough.
