Passion fo Life


When I'm in my free time I used to read some quotations, inspirational words and verses. These are some good words that i can share with you all. Passion for life means living out your vocation. I suspect that most of us are aware that at some point in our lives we had one or more "burning desires." As I said regarding socialization, our parents and tribes want such "burnings" to somehow be inoffensive, so that we can fit in.

For most, our passions and desires were something our parents teased us about—and if that didn’t discourage us from stepping out of the norm, some gentle or not so gentle form of repression was applied.

Parents have dreams and aspirations for their kids, and those dreams and aspirations are framed by the lifestyle and culture of the parents. Most parents freak out when they see the kinds of things that their kids are passionate about—that "turn them on." So they do what they can to force the kid to fit in. They suggest that the thing that they’re passionate about is just a passing interest, or a hobby. Or they declare it off-limits altogether.

Kids don’t know any better, and actually listen to their parents, so they learn to tighten down and block their passion. From a Bodywork perspective, this involves freezing the pelvis, and tightening the muscles that are just above the pelvis.
