Is it possible that you may be living a life of passion without even recognizing it?
You didn’t choose to like what you like, you happily discovered it. The same is true for all of our passions in life. Sometimes, our passion sneaks up on us. It may be there all along, but it was unrecognized. Look inside your heart for your true heart’s desire.
You may need to ask yourself some questions to figure out what is your passion, like:
When you do certain activities, does it make you feel good about yourself? Could this be satisfaction with your life?
When you give away some of your talents rather than put a price tag on them, could you say that you liked what you were giving away more than receiving? How does this make you feel?
When you are working on your activity, do you lose track of time? Could it be you see that you are passionately engrossed in your activity?
When you speak with your friends, is there one subject you like to talk about more than others? Could this be your passion?
Honestly answering the above questions will allow you to correctly identify what really excites you in life. All of us have passions – some just need to be aware of them.
What’s keeping you from discovering your passion?

Mary Ann grew up in Brownwood, a small central Texas town. Her early love of the violin, which developed at the age of ten, and subsequent mastery of the instrument opened many opportunities for her. She was mentored and prepared for her musical journey from the director of the Abilene Philharmonic Orchestra. She auditioned and was selected to join the Blue Jeans Symphony Orchestra. The orchestra was underwritten by Levi Straus Blue Jean Manufacturer and the City of Estes Park, Colorado. Two musical students from each state were selected and concerts were given each Sunday afternoon in a natural amphitheater in the Rocky Mountains. Mary Ann remains an alumnus of this group which is an active symphony now making their home in Breckenridge, Colorado. Mary Ann also played in the Las Vegas, Wichita Falls and Austin Symphony Orchestras.
She had a busy career beginning at the Governor’s Office in Colorado. Then fourteen years at a Texas Trade Association. She was Manager of a Computer Magazine Publishing Company. The last few years of working were spent in sales, which led to her home office, as her husband’s health declined.
Since her husband’s death, Mary Ann has written several books, including a Book of Poetry, Children’s Short Stories, Reflections, The Pioneers and her just published book, Journey of My Heart, A Memoir.
During the last quarter of 2012 Mary Ann was engaged with speaking engagements and book signings in several states, as well as radio interviews from New York City, Dallas, Denver, Portland and Seattle, Washington.
