YOUR LIFE A-Z:ZEALOUS

BE ZEALOUS IN WHAT YOU DO - REGARDLESS OF HOW BIG OR SMALL

ZEALOUS

Be ZEALOUS about something.  It is impossible to be ZEALOUS about everything so be ZEALOUS about something in your life.  Even if it is your new found Yoga practice, training for a 10 K run, or the hot political topic of our time. Discover something that you can devote your passion too and be ZEALOUS about it by investing time and energy to your new project daily.  Devote your self to this cause in an ardent and courageous fashion.  Bypass your shyness and move forward discovering more about that which burns a hole in your soul, driving you to do something that matters to you.  It does not matter if it does not matter to one other person. It only has to matter to you. If it does not matter to you, then you are not ZEALOUS.  If it matters to you do not be lackadaisicalabout it, but ZEALOUS and work diligently on it giving it everything that you have.  Energy is created when the fervor of ZEALOUS passion is burning beneath the surface.  It is that ZEALOUS energy that moves mountains and overcomes obstacles that your inner Wizard flies over risking all to achieve your heart’s desire.  Being ZEALOUS about something may not be comfortable to who you are and it may even bring social or familial disapproval, but don’t let anyone or anything stand your way from accomplishing your goals.  Let yourself be ZEALOUS and watch mountains move right before your very eyes.  Zealous is an enthusiastic energy that will multiply when given attention.

YOUR LIFE A-Z:QUEST

QUEST AND CONQUER ALL THAT YOU DESIRE

QUEST

Quest is a journey towards a goal.  All cultures have stories of hero journeys where the seeker is on a QUEST of an important object or a person.  This QUEST is depicted as arduous, adventurous, as well as dangerous.  Many obstacles appear along the seeker’s path discouraging and attempting to defeat the seeker from his/her goal.  The Twenty –Minute Coach calls these obstacles, life.  Life is often arduous, causing us to question the meaning of our existence, whine about “why is this so hard,” and declare that we quit.  But that flame of the QUEST finds its way out of the ruble and reminds us that there is an adventure ahead and we must keep putting one foot in front of the other and overcome the obstacles in our path.  Life is dangerous, but fortunately we have a healthy sense of denial.  We drive weapons, climb shaky ladders, and sometimes just jump out of perfectly good airplanes because the QUEST to conquer challenges, fears, and obstacles keep us moving forward.  Native Americans speak of the vision QUEST where the Native person leaves the comfort of the tribe and goes off into the wilderness, often without food or drink; and sometimes with the shaman or medicine person to QUEST after his/her calling purpose in the tribe.  The QUEST is intended to take us above the ordinary and into the extraordinary in order that we might live our daily life in mindful and purposeful ways.  QUEST after that which fulfills you.
