In Regards to the Profound Need to Align Our
Passion, Purpose and Skill
As shared by

“Each and every person must examine the very root of their essence which is passion. Each and every person must find a purpose in their passion... a way to experience their passion. Whether it is teaching, helping, being a policeman, a fireman, a mother – they must find a purpose to experience their passion.
When those two are in alignment the individual will seek to develop skills so that their purpose, what they do in life is in alignment with their passion... where their values are...so that they can do so with predictability and assured results, they get good at it.
After a period of time (they get good at it), they get bored, there is nothing more, they learn what there is to learn, they do what they do and they begin to burnout. To stop the burn out they must move to the last stage which is the application of wisdom, to teach others, teach what they have learned and teach what they now need to learn.
In doing so their passion reignites, their purpose grows and they become a contributor to the skill level of their passion... and thus create a self generating perpetuation of passion itself. If an individual in finding his purpose in life, what he does, is not in alignment with his passion, he will not choose to develop the skills necessary to grow and to achieve the highest quality of what he does.
He will not have passion for what he is doing; he will not be on fire. He will not feel a purpose in his life. He will ask "why am I here?" and "what am I doing?" and there will be no answers.
He will have wasted his life, his opportunity to experience and express the passion, the fire in him that God gave him that died–the fire goes out. If a person does not experience that passion, they wasted their life. Now, it could be they do not experience because the passion was not real and there was another passion they did not discover.”
