Passion is an energy that is misunderstood much of the time. Many may think they are passionate about a topic when they become really excited about it. Many dislike passion because they may see it leading to displeasing behaviors, such as protesting. Many do not really understand passion, its purpose, and why it is important to be passionate.

First, passion is an energy that everyone has the ability to feel. It is important to develop a passion for life, living, and growing. That type of passion is not short-lived, such as excitement. Excitement can last for a short period of time and can be easy to destroy or decrease. True passion is an energy that remains intact. It is an energy that a person would activate at will without having to really work at it. Passion can also be misinterpreted for anger.

Strong passion can be delivered in a strong method. A person who carries an abundance of passion may demonstrate that with a loud voice, animated body language, strong opinions, and a strong self-presence. Passion is not anger, nor is it judgment. The person demonstrating true passion is not being judgmental, but strong in his or her knowingness or truth. That person would not be easily swayed, but also would not condemn others for having a different opinion on any matter.

Having a passion for life means loving what you have, growing what you have, and always honoring yourself. Honor simply means respect. Full self-respect means you never allow another to ‘make’ you feel any sort of way, take advantage of you, feed you guilt, or accept judgment. Self-respect means to hold self-honor in totality.

Passion is covered up by shame. Shame is an energy that is taught from early childhood. Most children are taught to be ashamed of himself or herself at one point or another. That teaching may come from home, school, or both.

When children are taught to be ashamed, they grow into adults who feel shame. That shame is never productive and covers the energy of passion. Passion is critical when one wants to seek a state of joy that remains present. In part 2, learn more about passion and shame and how Tai Yi can assist in increasing passion.
