The Passion Test


No I don’t have a test for you today…not yet anyway.  "The Passion Test" by Janet Bray Atwood and Chris Atwood is a great book.  I first read it several years ago and have just rediscovered it a few days ago when I was having a clear out so I thought I’d let you know it is recommended reading.

This book isn’t about sensuality or sex (sorry) it’s all about how discovering your passions can tell you what your life purpose is and how it can lead you to living a life you love.

As I read the book, took the test and completed the exercises, I uncovered so much about myself.  Like how what I thought I wanted from life no longer held true and that I had some new desires that I hadn’t even admitted to myself, mostly out of fear that I could never fulfil them.

The Passion Test is all about revealing your passions and true desires to such an extent that you not only know them, but feel them awaken within you and become activated.  You become motivated to put aside fear and doubt and follow your passions wherever they lead. I know, it happened to me.

This book has been around since 2006 but if you’ve not yet discovered it or have it and haven’t quite gotten around to cracking the cover, I encourage you to read it.  Particularly if you are now, like I was a few years ago, floundering around, not knowing which direction to take or what you want from life.

Everyone wants their life to be filled with fun and laughter.  No-ones wants to live a passion-less life.  Sometimes, however, you just need a little help lighting the flame within. This book could help you turn that flame into a roaring fire.

If you already know what your passions are, even if you’re not living them yet, I’d love to hear about it.
