你与生俱有一种激情，它能使你在你生活中做一些独特的事。正如神那样他赋予人类全宇宙取之不尽的供应能量。正如你母亲子宫里未出生的胎儿，你使它围绕你旋转，而它在你体内生存和呼吸，而这甚至是在小宝宝的肺部发育之前。

它赖以生存的是——无需规定的思想。激情是人类的礼物，尽管你已经忘记激情是什么，怎样获取激情，但它就这样存在在你体内。关键是，释放你的激情是一个过程。.看看以下逐步的过程，并按其步骤实践，你就会发现活得有激情并不只是一个梦想。

1 花更多的时间独处.

当很多人围绕在你身边，或即使只有一个很有能力的人在你身边，这都会让你很难了解什么可以使你兴奋。因为如果外界力量比你强大，你就很容易受到影响。

把这段独处的时间看作是自我照顾的时间，放松和尊重自己。要是你选择呆在家里，就为自己营造一个不杂乱而又平静的空间。要是你外出，就找一个确保不会被打扰到的地方。

2 提高你的谙熟性.

无论你选择了什么地方，环顾四周，学习由衷地感激你周围的环境。这是你选择的空间，所以要去熟悉所有会成为你空间的细节。用你的感官去感受他的美丽，气味，纹理和声音。

期待微妙的经历。你闻到你床边的蜡烛的气味时，这可能在你口中又勾起一种独特的味觉。你的第六感（本能）也将发挥重要的作用。利用它使你的空间随着时间变得更有感染力。净化你神圣的空间，以便陶冶出最好状态的你。
