<p>Have you ever observed individuals who always appear to be up?  Did you wonder how could these people be so happy? Were you just a little envious of their pursuit of happiness and success? And finally, have you ever wished that you could sincerely be full of such life and energy?<br />
If you have experienced any of these thoughts, you are not alone. Loving life is not easy given that we are conditioned from early childhood to early adulthood to embrace misery before we embrace joy. However, there is one proven way to begin to be that intentional individual who truly loves life and attracts the bounties of life by connecting your passion to your purpose.  By taking action, your performance or love of life will dramatically increase and you will begin to reap the bounties from this paradigm shift.<br />
Have you ever written your own purpose statement?  Defining your individual purpose of life is the first step to loving your life.  This statement answers the question &#8211; Why am I here? In framing this answer, you will also need to think about the gifts that you bring to the table of life. These gifts are many and may include:</p>
<p> Gratitude<br />
 Joy<br />
 Optimism<br />
 Thoughtfulness<br />
 Intelligence<br />
 Creativity<br />
 Loyalty<br />
 Determination</p>
<p>The completion of your purpose statement primes the pump to crystallize the answer to this question:  What is passion for you?  What motivates you to continue the daily grind? What energizes your inner spirit when life is overwhelming? What do you truly enjoy?<br />
Loving life is much easier when you have understood both your purpose and passion. Of course, there will always be challenges or what I call negative energy that drains you from loving life. However, with a thought, you can reverse, so to speak, the polarity of that negative energy and convert that energy into enhancing your life or the lives of those around you. Kevin McCarthy in his book The On-Purpose Person suggests that you think of a light switch. When the switch is on, you are on purpose.<br />
People whose actions clearly demonstrate a love of life understand that passion is the energy. When passion is connected with purpose or the light switch, life is full of peace and abundance. Of course, the choice is always yours: Whether to embrace life with misery or with joy?  My choice is that life is meant to be lived with positive energy.  We have been given the opportunity to continually develop our love of life. And so with that personal philosophy guiding my actions: Please MAKE it a great day, month, year and life.<br />
P.S. You may enjoy this quote by James Allen: &#8220;As water, when transmuted into steam, becomes a new, more definite and wide reaching power, so passion, when transmuted into intellectual and moral force, becomes a new life, a new power for the accomplishment of high and unfailing purposes.&#8221;<br />
