January 2006 Relationship Concepts
APPEALING - Part #2
Concept
 
Last month’s newsletter addressed the first two aspects of what it takes to be APPEALING: Appearance and Personality. The next two up for discussion are Passion and Essence.

While there are many factors that cause your special someone to show up in your life (and stay!), the nine aspects of APPEALING are especially influential in creating an energy of attraction that will have you be a true “magnet” for love.

  • Appearance
  • Personality
  • PASSION
  • ESSENCE
  • A
  • L
  • I
  • N
  • G

Discussion
 
Passion

When you’re really in love with something, you’re usually in love with just about everything, even life’s imperfections. Passion stirs the soul; it is an intense feeling of affection, devotion or love for someone or something. People who are passionate are full of energy and vitality, and that fullness somehow reaches over and touches us. When we are in their presence, we can feel their powerful enthusiasm. It is inspiring, sometimes intoxicating, and almost always APPEALING.

Just in case you were wondering, there is a difference between being authentically passionate and overzealous. And not everyone is excited about the same things. So, not everyone who seems passionate may be APPEALING to you. The thing to remember is this: people are attracted to people with powerful, positive energy. That’s passion. If you want to be attractive, you need to have some.

Essence

Who are you really? At your core, in your heart of hearts, who are you? Essence is the real you, the truth of you, your Self. This is your soul, your inner beauty, the thing that makes you the most lovable.

Life is about discovering our essence and life gets so much richer as our soul-heart grows. Sometimes, however, we are afraid to look at ourselves deeply, so our essence stays buried. Or we keep it a secret because we’re not sure we’ll be accepted or understood. We hide behind an image that keeps us safe, and it stops us from connecting fully with the other people in our lives. Yet the more we let our essence shine through, the more beautiful we become. It’s when we find the courage to delve into who we really are that our essence is given the chance to truly grow.

Coaching
 
Passion and essence go hand in hand. Passion comes from knowing what makes you happy, and knowing what makes you happy comes from knowing your Self. Focusing on one will definitely help you get to the other. To keep progressing on these aspects of your personal APPEAL, here are some things to consider.

Passion

  • What do you love about your life? What brings you the most joy? What makes your heart sing? How can you get more of that?
  • Are there any dreams you have had for yourself and your life that you squelched because they just didn’t seem possible? Because it didn’t seem to be the right time? What can you do to start making your dreams come true right now?
  • Are you passionate or overzealous? How will you know? (Hint: observe your audience’s body language. Have they stopped listening? Have their eyes glazed over? Are they running the other way? Or ... are they transfixed, hanging on your every word, and asking for more?)

Essence

There are plenty of ways to explore and discover who you really are. This is a life-long journey, and we’re here to help each other along the way. Stay open to your intuition and you’ll be guided to the next right thing. In the meantime, here are some options to consider:

  • The Inner Knowing course (www.cikatlanta.com/ik.html)
  • The Landmark Forum (www.landmarkeducation.com)
  • The STAR program (www.starfound.org)
  • Prayer, meditation, yoga
  • Journaling, self-observation
  • Coaching, therapy

Parting Thought
 
It’s not possible to have everyone be attracted to you, and that’s not what we’re trying to achieve anyway. What is important is whether or not you are attracted to you. Being APPEALING starts from within. When you allow Passion and Essence to flow through, you will experience an abundance of love, joy and success in your life.
