People who are aligned with their passion have a compass for their lives, a focus, a purpose. The problem is that after years of following someone else's advice, your authentic self gets buried under layers of masks. Gut feelings have saved lives, discovered cures, and made people millions. They come as a hunch, a flash, a deep knowing. The problem is so many of us tune feelings out in favour of something more logical or rational.
Feelings are sacred.
They are your barometer for what's really important. Keep a journal. Make friends with your feelings. Pay attention when you're enthusiastic. Studies show that people with enthusiasm have stronger immune systems because they're high on life.
