  1. Not in my experience. When I start going to a gym, I have to literally drag myself there, I'm not happy to do it, I don't like it, I don't want it, It doesn't feel passionate. I just do it because I know it'll be good for me. When I push through the difficulty and get into a routine to exercise, then it becomes easy and fun and some days I'm even excited to get there real early. Another scenario where passion didn't play a role in getting something done but it got fun and exciting after it has been adapted and repeated to become familiar.
  2. Sometimes I think nothing at all is worth my time and I wished I could just do nothing all day but then I remember I need to pay my bills so I get up and do the job which feels far from having fun. In general, life sucks to be honest, and most things that we do in life are boring and mundane and not easy but we still need to do them. Also acquiring skills and experience in a dream job is not fun, mostly it's hard work, but it's worth it because it gives satisfaction and at some point it may start being fun too.
  3. I have been contemplating on this for a while and from my own experience I can say that, no, it does not start with passion, at least not for me. When I think about where I want to be in the future, I think about the expertise in a particular field. When I imagine myself there, the feeling is calm, reserved, grounded, mature. This what gives me satisfaction. If there are some burst of passion here and there that is great, it spices the whole thing up, but passion itself is not the starting point for me. Just recently I was giving passion more credit and kind of a lil bit forced the idea on other people too, but now I know better. And I can't argue to anyone who says that for them passion is what matters the most because we're so different and different things work for different people.
  4. I'm pretty sure he's referring to the expertise. To be good at something and mastering a skill makes the job or whatever you do enjoyable. So for example, a person could entirely skip all this search for passion and just dedicate and commit to acquiring some skill/becoming the expert; and this will bring the satisfaction, not the feeling of passion. The issue is that there is misconception that people must find passion, find their purpose, etc and it usually won't last too long because passion is not grounding, it comes and goes, you can't rely on it. I agree that you just can't pick any work or artistic skill, it has to interest you of course, but it shouldn't take too long to choose mastering something whereas chasing after passion and life purpose can get you in overthinking and forever searching when, as I said, the real deep satisfaction lies in becoming really good at something. And that is very different than feeling passion.
  5. never give up
  6. you just haven't met one yet
  7. The love for the less fortunate is a beautiful thing—the love for those who suffer, for those who are poor, the sick, the failures, the unlovely. This is compassion, and it touches the heart of the world. The love for the more fortunate is a rare thing—to love those who succeed where we fail, to rejoice without envy with those who rejoice, the love of the poor for the rich, of the black man for the white man. The world is always bewildered by its saints. And then there is the love for the enemy—love for the one who does not love you but mocks, threatens, and inflicts pain. The tortured’s love for the torturer. This is God’s love. It conquers the world. From Bold Love by Dan Allender.
  8. I try not to be a huge believer in these labels of twin flame/soul mate relationships, however, twin flame connection boils down to Unconditional Love. This relationship that you described seems to be strong but you're right to be doubtful if there is a lack of trust. Emotional security and transparency in a relationship is fundamental both for a man and woman and if she doesn't provide you that it's a hindrance to a fulfilling partnership. Unless it's your own insecurities and projections. You said she's good looking, etc so maybe that makes you insecure and you would need to look inwards instead. Also, you can't trust some birth-chart to tell you whether she'll cheat on you or not. If you decided to stick around, only time will show what's real and what's true.
  9. yeh right ? it was just an acknowledgement of a very good explanation by @Inliytened1 that's all, simple.
  10. No no no, I'm not going there. I need to stay grounded. Today I like to think that me is me and other are other. I will save solipsism for when I trip. Actually, I prefer the reality where the infinity of gods exist. My game my rules.
  11. Don't sound like such absolutist It depends, sometimes I care about the messenger too
  12. The messenger is not relevant here; the words that were said are golden.
  13. He said wise thing so I can see that he speaks from his experience. I can relate, I had the experience too
  14. Wise words. I needed to hear this, thank you
  15. good point ? and i don't wanna hear how it could have been otherwise
  16. we're conditioned as a society to be stupid and care about wrong things
  17. you show her by being a good male character
  18. Peace ? ?
  19. Because God is everything, there is no duality no discrimination. Everything is One. I don't see how this truth can be grasped intellectually, maybe. From my POV, it can only be experienced beyond thought. To feel God's Love is something beyond words. You either gonna try to understand this with no results and just get frustrated and annoyed or take psychedelics and start having a direct experience of what is being thought on this forum about God and Love as being You, One, Everything. I can see how all these lofty words can seem empty without a direct experience.
  20. How does this go with the infinity of gods realisation? Both are true?
