Do not apologize for your passion. It’s what lights you on fire, and your heat and illumination are needed right now as our planet stands at the tipping point of great transformation. As a fire-being, you can melt even the most fortified walls of fear-protection, you can shine light on the creatures of darkest doubt and cynicism, you can transform the deep anger and pain of the most damaged souls. Your passion is pure energy — it provides courage to those who are afraid of the dark, fuel to those who are hungry or burned-out, inspiration to those who have never pulsated so intensely. It’s the most beautiful and potent thing in the world — celebrate it!
