I honestly can’t believe l haven’t written in almost a year 😩. I love writing, there are a lot of things love to do that l haven’t done for months. On pondering what happened l realised that my zeal had been drowned by my emotions.
Zeal can be defined as passion, whilst emotion as we know is the l think, l feel mainly associated with our mood.
That my friends is where l got tangled. I allowed how l felt to determine what l did. And my zeal for writing, my passion for doing what l knew was right was stolen by my feelings 😔. Have you ever been there? That my friends is the battle of life.
And l am here to encourage you never to lose your passion.
How then can we stop our zeal from being drowned by our emotions?
- Remember that your emotions lie, they really do. Therefore question them.
- Don’t burn out, Feed your Spirit all the time, and allow God to fill you up, you can’t give what you don’t have.
- Walk by faith not by what you see or how you feel.
- Be future focused, don’t be caught up in the now.
- Walk by the spirit, we are spirit beings, we never walk by how we feel .
*How do you keep your passion?, please share l would love to know .
Hello dear blogger,
Nice to see your smiling face on the scene again. I do understand what you mean. I walked around for years saying I had a passion to write but only doing so once in a blue moon.
I think action is what keeps the passion going, having a goal towards which you are working and knowing your “why” (as in why do you write?).
I have my breaks away from blogging every now and again and I’ve noticed my zeal for it wanes when not writing regular posts. However, I am pleased that I’ve now developed a regular writing habit, so even if not producing blog posts, I’m still writing in my journals or working on a project.
Best wishes and I do hope you’ll find a way to break through into consistency.

I need to say “no” a whole lot more to well meaning people in order to keep myself fueled for the things God has passioned me. My fault. Good thoughts.
