Unlocking the Gift of Passion

Would you like to know how to unlock your innate gift of Passion? What exactly is this gift called Passion? 

Passion is an intense emotion or feeling often associated with love, desire, or enthusiasm. It can refer to a strong romantic or sexual attraction, as well as a fondness for something, such as a hobby or activity. Passion is a powerful force that can drive people to pursue their dreams and achieve their goals.

Nationally recognized artist, and Spiritual teacher, Robert Theiss, posed the question, “How would it feel if we truly trusted in our own hearts and allowed our physical bodies to experience the joy and ecstasy of life itself? Passion and Bliss” (Theiss, 1). Jack Welch described Passion as a deep, heartfelt, and authentic excitement about your work (Welch, 2). 

Michael Dermer, a pioneer of the health rewards industry and CEO of The Lonely Entrepreneur, includes Passion as one of the Seven Gifts of an Entrepreneur with Vision, Courage, Creativity, Individualism, Belief, and Grit being the other six (Dermer, 3). Dermer describes Passion as a desire to not settle for the status quo. Dermer wrote, “Our obsessive belief and commitment to our vision makes us plow ahead in the face of obstacles but also makes us ignore things we see along the way. For example, Entrepreneurs say, "I know nine out of ten restaurants fail, but no one can cook like me” (3)!

Dale Carnegie did not ascribe to the adage that hard work by itself is the magic key that will unlock the door to our desires. He believed that people rarely succeed at anything unless they have fun doing it. 

Carnegie wrote, “I have known people who succeeded because they had a rip-roaring good time conducting their business. Later, I saw those people change as the fun became work. The business had grown dull. They lost all joy in it, and they failed” (Carnegie, 4). 

Jack and Suzy Welch wrote brilliant advice on how you can transmute from "What should I do with my life” to the energized, encouraging territory of “I love what I do with my life?” (Welch & Welch, 5). Jack and Suzy recommend that “you dig deep, analyze, and assess what you are really good at, what do you love to do, and what unharvested field of dreams lies at the intersection of the two. The person living the answer to those questions is you” (5)!

Jack Welch believed and wrote, “People with passion care, really care in their bones about colleagues, employees, and friends winning. They love to learn and grow and get a huge kick when the people around them do the same. People with Passion aren’t excited just about work, they tend to be passionate about everything, they just have juice for life in their veins” (2).

In honor of this powerful Gift called Passion, Platinum915 created a delicious cherry-flavored functional gummy product named Seraphim Keys! Seraphim Keys is a blend of Kava, Damiana Leaf, and Caffeine (from green tea) gummy based on a popular Pacific Islander drink.

Seraphim Keys may give you a euphoric and energetic feeling. You may be asking, what exactly are Kava, Damiana leaf, and the health benefits? Glad you asked, let’s explore, shall we?

Kava is a tropical shrub with heart-shaped leaves and its scientific name is Piper methysticum. Its active ingredients are called kavalactones. Studies suggest kavalactones may reduce anxiety, reduce pain sensations, and protect neurons from damage. Current research supports the use of kava for treating anxiety. It tends to be as effective as certain anxiety drugs, with no evidence of dependency (DeWalle, 6).

Damiana leaf contains several flavonoids including arbutin with antioxidant activities believed to be responsible for many of the plant’s therapeutic benefits. Traditionally, Damiana leaves have been utilized by the Mexicans and Mayan Indians for their aphrodisiac qualities and their ability to boost sexual potency. Apart from its use as an aphrodisiac, this herb has also been used to treat mild depression, anxiety, and stress (Seward, 7).

According to Fortune Business Insights, the global kava root extract market is projected to grow from $1.18 billion in 2022 to $3.41 billion by 2029, at a CAGR of 16.29% in the forecast period, 2022-2029. The Popularity of Kava Root Extract is growing mainly attributable to its relaxing properties and therapeutic effect (Fortune Business Insights, 8).

Seraphim Keys symbolizes Compassion, Love, Joy, Ecstasy, and Passion aka The Five Rays of Creation. Thank you for reading, have an abundant & prosperous August, and as always, shine your inner light bright!
