Accidents and the Law of Attraction

A few months ago, I was driving home from a client visit, on I-495 in Foxboro, Massachusetts when an unexpected event changed my schedule.

I was enjoying the ride home, cruising along at 75 MPH, and feeling quite content. A client meeting had gone superbly, the weather was beautiful, and I was counting my blessings, but as I approached mile marker 36, everything got strange.

An avid motorcyclist, I have a habit of checking my mirrors often, but in this moment, it seemed like something took a hold of my head and jerked it up to look in the rearview, while at the same time this incredible sense of urgency pushed up from somewhere in my solar plexus.

WHAT?

It’s amazing what heightened senses and reflexes can do. I’ll play back the thoughts and choices that happened in a flash of a second:

“Gold Lincoln Town Car” “Too fast!” “Not slowing.” “He’s going to hit me!” “I have five car lengths ahead of me.” “Hit the Gas!”

Passion vs. Addiction

By M. Kenneth Petruzzi, on March 15th, 2011%

Lately, I am coming across blog posts and articles that appear to have trouble reconciling the idea of following one’s passion or bliss with what they see as possible destructive outcomes of taking that that course.

I think that confusion comes when we see “passion” and “obsession/addiction” as related conditions. For me, the distinction between the   former and the latter is pretty clear-cut.

Passion is almost always about moving *towards* something for positive reasons, while addiction/obsession is almost always about engaging in a powerful distraction to *escape* something unwanted. That “something unwanted” is often emotional pain, but a sense of powerlessness is also a huge driver for aberrant behaviors.

Those of us who have known the bliss that can result from realized passion understand that it is not about mere pleasure, but comes from a nexus of pleasure and thriving inner self/heart… a supreme alignment not achievable through obsession or addiction. While obsession/addiction can bring overwhelming intoxication, we know that intoxication is but a bad facsimile of true bliss.
