You’ll know when the passion dies, when the vitality doesn’t feed your soul anymore. A lot of people get sad when that happens. They wonder what they could ever do instead, so they just keep going, even when their heart is not in it. The flame dies, and that’s OK. It’s just a sign. Give it time, your passion is simply being redirected.
The key is not to get frustrated when the heart cycles through change. Like the moon, the heart waxes and wanes. That’s because it’s connected to the environment, the universe. The heart knows before reality begins to show. The heart is clairvoyant. If it’s waning, that means a cycle is ending. If it’s waxing, an embryonic cycle is emerging. The key is to let your heart, in the deeper sense, crest and trough in a free-flowing, organic way.
Some people’s passion grows for a lifetime, however. They can remain joyful and sustained in a 45-year career. Some people can remain joyful and sustained in a 60-year marriage. But there are times when the heart can no longer engage. It knows when something’s over, but you mustn’t fear, nor clutch. Let it come or go when the time is right. Don’t worry if you’ve had a change of heart, it’s perfectly natural. The key is to listen to the heart’s intuitiveness, so that you’ll be prepared to say yes or no with conviction, when the opportunity for change arises. There may be something new for you, and your heart is detecting it. Don’t jump ahead. Allow it to wax or to wane as the natural cycles of the moon. It will happen on its own timetable, it’s just that the heart knows before reality shows. Listen to your heart, it will show you a new day before the dawn ever hits the horizon. Be ready.
