Without Passion, you may as well be a horse. You’ll not accomplish anything of importance that’s important to you unless you have a passion for it. Harsh? Yes, but then so is the brutal reality of a Life without direction. Drifting aimlessly through life until you die is pointless. Again, as I’ve said, you may as well be a horse.
You have all of the power between your ears to change the way things are if you don’t like them. Outside forces will not and cannot stand in the way of a person determined to get something done. We all know of the struggles and triumphs of Thomas Edison, the Wright brothers and Albert Einstein. But many people overlook the single unshakeable thing that they all had in common, the one thing that enabled them to persevere through all of the disappointments and temporary failures. What was it?
Passion. That little word that changes kittens into lions. A force that fuels all great dreams, and all small ones. It’s the thing that excites you. It occupies your thoughts day, night and in your dreams. Passions are warm, and when they get hot, things happen. You need to be ready for a passion that ignites your soul, for it will propel you to great heights.

How to Find Your Passion
Passions begin in the mind, where everything begins. But passion has its own room, filled with ideas and excitement.
So, how to find your Passions. That is where you have to stop and start thinking. Do not proceed with your Life until you know what your passions are. Don’t know, or aren’t sure? Rest assured. The following is adapted from a work by Roy Harris. I am grateful for his words and his own passion.

How to Find Your Passions
Ask Yourself these questions to determine your Passions. Take your time, and be thorough. This is your future we’re dealing with, not some vacation to Dollywood.
1. What do I really want to do with my life?
2. What am I excited about doing at any time of the day?
2. What do I love to do with my time?
3. Where would I go if I had the freedom and the time to go anywhere?
4. What would I do if I could do anything that wouldn’t get me killed or in trouble?
5. What would I have if there were no limits to anything in my life?
6. Who or what would I become?
7. What gives me the most contentment in my life?
8. What do I really enjoy doing in my spare time?
9. What motivates me to do something?
10. What people, events or things inspire me?
11. What kindles the fires within me?
12. What drives me to do it without a thought?
13. When I have jumped out of bed with excitement, what was the reason?
14. What events in the past that have given me the most pleasure?
15. What do I want to do to contribute to the lives of others?
16. How would I like to give to others?
17. How would I like to be remembered?
18. If I was granted one wish, and I knew that that wish would be granted, what would I wish for?Print up these questions and spend the day answering them. By the end of the day, your true Passion should be there on the page. Don’t worry if it’s more than one. Mine are Movies and Writing. When you know what drives you and is something that you could do forever and not worry about getting paid for it, you’ll feel a rush in your mind that cannot be duplicated. The energy that this will generate can last a lifetime trying to use up.
The trouble is, so few of us ever learn what our passions are. The few that do discover them wish that they could do something about them besides lamenting about how they don’t have the time or money to pursue them.
Marcus Aurelius-
“You have power over your own mind – not over events. Realize this, and you will find strength”
Because your future has EVERYTHING to do with what you are willing to commit to right now.
It has EVERYTHING to do with not settling for less anymore, and beginning to believe you ARE worth it.
Your New Life all starts by choosing to believe. Believe that You are worthy. Worthy of being prosperous, of living life the way you want to, of having the freedom to do as you wish.
