"I have never seen anyone anywhere at any time achieve anything of any value without the spark of passionate desire!"
~ John C. Maxwell
Do you want to achieve your dream? Do you want to fulfill your vision? Do you want to accomplish your goals? Then you're going to need 'passion'. What is 'passion'? Passion is the enthusiasm that gives you energy and focus. Passion gives you power to keep moving forward and toward your future. Passion is the fuel you use to pursue your dream.
Without passion, you will go through the motions, but you will never reach your goals. Without passion, you'll try, but you'll quit before you fulfill your purpose. For example, I knew a lady who wanted to become a nurse, because she heard how much money they make an hour. So she decided to go to nursing school. Well, she was going through the motions. She was taking classes for a while. Things were going well until one day she had to change an adult's diaper. She wasn't prepared for that. Therefore, she ended up dropping out of nursing school. Why did she drop out? Why didn't she continue until she graduated? The answer is - She lacked passion. She was looking at the pay rather than the purpose; the benefits rather than the vision.
"Anytime you try to accomplish something of value, you will face adversity. Passion can help you get through it."
~ John C. Maxwell
You will have challenges on the road to success. That's why passion is so important. Passion keeps the dream alive, even when situations make it seem like it's dead. Let me end with a poem by William Arthur Ward:
Believe while others are doubting.
Plan while others are playing.
Study while others are sleeping.
Decide while others are delaying.
Prepare while others are daydreaming.
Begin while others are procrastinating.
Work while others are wishing.
Save while others are wasting.
Listen while others are talking.
Smile while others are frowning.
Commend while others are criticizing.
Persist while others are quitting.
Develop your passion. You're going to need it.
Get this book. You need to read it.
In His Righteousness,
Billie Miller
