Have you ever taken time to consider how your passions are woven into your life, and how they direct it? Perhaps, they aren't woven in as much as you'd like and you're looking for the way to thread them in.

Either way, our passions are unique to each of us.

I've been reflecting upon this as my friends and I have been talking about which areas of the hospital we're interested in working in. I've noticed certain units seem to attract certain personality types, and I can see where some people fit.

I've been deeply considering what I care about, what I value, and what I want. It's important to do this throughout life, so you can redirect yourself, whether that means taking baby steps or a huge leap in another direction.

I also recently had a conversation with a valued person in my life about how you become in sync with the universe when you follow your passions.

I've found this to be so true throughout my life, and I'll illustrate this with some of my life stories.

I remember when ballet was my foremost passion, and I moved 13 hours away to Orlando, Florida to pursue it.

When we stayed in a hotel on the way down, our room number was the same as what my apartment number was going to be.

I considered that synchronicity God's way of winking at me and saying, "You're doing the right thing--this needs to be done."

Some people will roll their eyes at this and brush it off as a coincidence, but the universe has a way of moving oceans for you when you're on the right wavelength, living in a way that is true to your highest self.

I don't consider it random when I had a wave of fire burn through me while I was sitting in my apartment one day in Orlando, roaring that I HAD to be a nurse.

My mom encouraged me to wean myself slowly from ballet, to keep dancing and try a college class on the side.

Well...

I started school full-time and jumped into as many volunteering and shadowing opportunities as I could.

In the mean time, I met the person I consider to be my life partner. We met in a class that was required for my major, but not for his. I was  not originally going to take the class during that specific semester, and he was taking it because it sounded like an interesting elective.

As I said, the universe has its ways.

Listen to your intuition. Recognize your interests. Don't give up on your daydreams. Do what you've always wanted to. You do not feel these desires randomly; you feel them for a reason.
