Honesty with loved ones is not something you calculate whether you can afford or not afford. It’s something you choose whether or not to do. And if you choose not to be honest with loved ones it will likely cost you more than you currently comprehend.

How I did it: Decided and within 3 weeks was getting off a plane, collected my rental car and off on the road from Frankfurt. Visited over a dozen medieval villages in France and am now sitting on a beach on the French riviera. Last night was a wonderful meal with a beach view and today's luch was in a cozy cafe in Saint Tropez visiting with a charming French family. Amazing time and my definition of a life lived passionately. I will do this again … Read how I did it…

How I did it: i just found after going through (good or bad) experiences humas are naturally inclined to feel passionate about certain views, boundaries, priorities, beliefs etc Its great to know and be sure of what i (as an individual) am passionate for and therefore i can happily stand up for what i believe in, if i need to.

How I did it: I just simply said "yes" to every idea that popped into my head that gave me even the smallest bit of happiness upon it inception. I broke up a LTR that was not satisfying and moved to an city that I had always wanted but never could (because someone else didn't want to). I followed impulses to volunteer at a middle school, join a poetry group, and commited to train for my first triathlon. I don't… Read how I did it…

How I did it: I realized that I DO live passionately. I make an effort every day, even on the days that I beat myself up for not making enough of an effort - that's me trying to grow, that's me living passionately. I'm redefining this goal. What I mean now is this: Find the things that make feel passion and enthusiasm. If I find those natural catalysts, I'll take off. Once I find those things I'll naturally live a passionate life because the very thing… Read how I did it…

It’s not that nakedness reveals truth.
It’s that the whole truth cannot be found in the absence of nakedness.

Slow down and enjoy life. It’s not only the scenery you miss by going too fast – you also miss the sense of where you are going and why.
Eddie Cantor (1892 – 1964)
Have you felt cheated because you feel no one has ever loved you with their whole heart?
Have you ever loved someone completely? If you have not, then it may be unrealistic for you to expect others to love you completely.
Don’t expect others to love you fully until you have loved others fully.
There are probably 4 significant others I have offered all my love to in my life. Most of them were not interested – so, in most cases I ended up offering everything and not receiving back in like kind. That is always hard. After my offer was declined, I did not withdraw my offer in anger, frustration, or as “revenge.” I left my offers outstanding even after they were declined – to demonstrate that when I said I would care for them always, I meant it.
You may not receive full commitment from others until you demonstrate full commitment toward others. And I’m not talking about being totally committed to your family or children. That counts, but not in a relevant measure to what I am discussing. Most people fully love their children and that is a great thing, but that is also a self-serving endeavor in most cases.
If you want someone to love you completely, then first demonstrate you love others completely. Until then, don’t ask others to pity or to be sympathetic to the fact that no one has loved you completely.
This will likely lead you to loving and losing, but there are worse things than giving your all to someone and having them decline your offer.
Better to have loved fully and to not have been loved in return than to never experience and demonstrate what it means to love someone else fully.
I’m not saying that if you love others fully, you will be loved in return fully. But I think you will improve your odds and your life if you clearly love others fully first.
I’m so glad I found 43 things! But to be completely honest, even writing this entry is scary. I want to live passionately, to have a life of integrity and balance, of love and creativity.
Mainly, I need to “get out of my own way.” I need to learn to take the “baby steps”, and live a life of courage. But fear and indecision keep getting in the way. I know I have talent. I need to stop feeling overwhelmed by what should be joyous. Everything good feels terrifying. Please help.
Any suggestions?

If I stay where I am part-time
I have health insurance which I pay for 50% of
If I leave right now I will be left without it
However if I leave I will make more money
eventually I can buy my own insurance
but not right now
By staying I’m getting sick; mentally drained and fatigued
Still I’m afraid to leave for uncertainty
and in all of this…
I’m trying to live passionately but it’s sucking the life out of me
And on a Friday night I wish I were going out instead of staying in to get to bed early so that I can get up and work tomorrow for health insurance!!!
