So what is your passion? What would you like to do? How much do you want to do it? Are you willing to go through maybe a difficult time to achieve that passion? Or are you like most people going to make excuses and run away from it? I am so glad I began as I did because I started at the bottom in 1985 and 24 years later have made it to the top. Yes, I have had a teacher named Maitreya to help me along the way, and yes, I had my moments of doubt and insecurity – more than once I can tell you. But I enjoyed what I did, loved helping people. It was never about the money to me, but about seeing people change for the better. A lot of them did. They went into business, became successful, and won awards for their work or passion. They became so different in their changing that people could not recognize them as the same people. I also watched those who were given the assistance of Spirit who did not listen and, through fear or pride, closed the door on their dreams and passion.
Remember, your dream or passion begins with one step, you putting yourself out there. Either going into study or beginning your new life full time or part time. Usually it is part time until one can get enough clients or customers, but at least you are doing it. Unless you are astrologically blessed it will not be an overnight success and much hard work will be required to achieve it, but at least you can go back to Spirit – your true home – and know you achieved your dream or passion.
It is so sad watching those who have passed over come back and apologize for not making it or beginning their passion or dream. Please have an astrologer tell you what your passion is, how you can open the door to that. Have no fear in opening that door and one day, when someone says, “You have worked so hard over the years” like me you will be able to say, “Yes, but it was my passion. It did not seem like work!”

Ask the majority of successful business people in the world today how they started off and they will all tell you, “The hard way.” I had been working for 7 years before I connected with Maitreya and became a very successful magazine clairvoyant. Those seven years were very hard work. I had to face a lot of fear, face a husband who did not want me working, and learn a whole new craft. I had to leave the country I had called home for 18 years and move right away from family and friends. I lost all I had in 1992 when my then-husband (after I had left him) had a garage sale with my possessions and took everything we had financially out of the bank except for $5. I had so much debt and no money to pay for it. I would not call it an easy time but it made me resilient and determined to pursue my passion.
Before I could get the rewards of more money and begin to earn a fine reputation, I had to walk through the mud. I was tested in so many ways as to how much I wanted my passion, but I did not give in despite the difficulties. I wanted my passion so badly. My biggest regret was that I had fought doing it for 14 years, 14 years in which I had delayed Spirit. I could have done it but fear stopped me.
I recently had a student who told me she lived in a very conservative town and people would not understand what she did, so she could not come out into the open and teach metaphysics. I happen to know many people in that town who would love to have teaching on that subject, but unless she puts herself out there and faces her fear, they maybe will not get the chance. It is so sad.

Our talent is not necessarily in the craft area or the metaphysical area. Alan my husband’s talent is in music, however he struggles with his first house Saturn in believing he is good enough to learn and that he can. His excuse is that he cannot keep time yet, when he wants to, he can. For other people it can be carpentry; cooking or dancing or other subjects. However many of those people can turn their passion into a full or part time career if they stopped making excuses.
For one person who wanted to work her metaphysical talent, I suggested her holding meditation/teaching classes over a five or ten week course. She had beautiful energy to bring in Spirit and I knew she could do this easily. Her first excuse was that she did not have a place to do it as she could not do it from her home. I suggested she approach the local library or community center and rent a room for the class each week; these places are usually inexpensive and her class fee could incorporate this fee. I also suggested she make a flier and put it in all the health food stores and metaphysical stores if there were any. I could see this did not go over well with her; she wanted Spirit to provide a lavish room and also provide the students. I told her that was the way I started off. In fact, I actually worked from home in the beginning. I made my own business cards. They were a pale green color with gold around the edges and had on them my name and phone number and the words “Clairvoyant Reader.” I had just learned how to do calligraphy and wrote the words in that script. I also stood on street corners and gave leaflets out to passing pedestrians. I actually got a lot of work that way. I wanted to do my passion and did not care what I had to do to create that.

Why do we deny our passion, either in not giving it the time to learn it or we deny it totally? It is that dreaded word “fear“ again – the fear that people will laugh at us, at what we do. We do not believe we have the talent (like me) and many other reasons, but there are many excuses I have heard over the years. I once thought of making a list and sending them to the Readers Digest or some similar periodical, like one does insurance excuses because some of them have been so funny and some very sad! In my case it was an art class in 1960 where we were told to draw a picture of a woman. I did the portrait and thought it looked wonderful. The teacher did not; she ridiculed my picture in front of the whole class, made fun of me as she said it looked like a prostitute (the woman had make-up on), then ripped it up into pieces in front of the class also. I was so hurt, embarrassed and deeply wounded. I believe the artistic part of me shut down because it did not believe it was any good. It did not open up again until 2005. I wonder what would have happened if the teacher had taken me aside after class and told me she thought it was a little “over the top” and perhaps I could not put so much make-up on the face; instead of embarrassing me in front of the whole class?
With my metaphysical delay for 14 years it was the belief God would never work with me, I was not good enough/clever enough etc., and also what people would think of me as then at that time metaphysical people were looked on with scorn, embarrassment, or fear.
Why are you denying your passion? One woman said she was 45 years old and too old. You are never too old. I was 58!

However, in 2005 I found myself for almost a year being isolated in our apartment because of not having a green card and not being able to work. Alan suggested my going to the local craft store. I bought some card stock and some stickers and paints and made some posters for my grandchildren’s bedroom doors. The posters had their name on them and some stickers depicting cartoon characters, and for my granddaughter, Barbie stickers. On our return to Australia and giving them to my grandchildren they went crazy over them and just loved them. The parents of their friends who saw them also loved them and asked if I could make them one. I declined this request, but on my return to the US thought, “If I can do posters then perhaps I could make Christmas cards” as Christmas was coming up. I made the most beautiful cards and was in awe of my own ability.
Since then I have extended my craft experience further and now make artwork for pictures as well. I became, at the time, angry with myself because I had this gift for all this time and never used it. I was ashamed of myself. More than anything I felt I had let Spirit down because the most wonderful creative ideas were being given to me, and I knew they were always there but I had never used them until now. It had been the same with my metaphysical work. I had fought and denied that for 14 years before using it. I realized I was a very stubborn woman and it was the beginning in 2005 of my really looking at myself and seeing a part of me I did not want to see, or should I say my Self did not want to see: my denial of my creative talent. It was an incredible “Aha!” moment.

For those who do not have the facility of classes there are library books to learn from. Once, of course, I tell them about how to do it, they then say those terrible words “I don’t have the time!” Oh dear, if I had a dollar for every time I have heard that I would be a wealthy woman now.
If we really want our passion as a career, we need to find the time. What can we give away in our lives to have the time to do what we would like to do with our passion? I must admit I want to scream every time I meet someone with a passion who cannot fulfill that passion. The most common remark of all though is “I don’t have a passion.” Everyone has one thing they wished they could do. God or whoever you deem God to be gave each of us a talent. It can be seen in our astrological natal chart, yet the majority of people do not know that, and when told of their passion say ,”Oh no, I can’t do that!” However, I have at times met people who have gone ahead and given it a try and come back and said, “I never knew I had it in me” or “I could not believe it when I became successful.” One client of mine became a millionaire because she fulfilled her passion despite her not believing. She did it for a laugh and to show me she could not do it. She got a big shock, but also a big income.
Fulfilling our passion does not come easy, it takes time. Time to study if necessary, time to get clients for our product or to find the person to help them, but if we persevere we CAN achieve that passion. I had been told for years I was creative. Me? Creative? Ha! Ha! Ha!!
